Wike’s rally in Bayelsa was reportedly disrupted by gunshots.

Yenogoa, the capital of Bayelsa State, on Saturday, April 26, was thrown into tension as the sound of gunshots was heard at the venue of the mega rally organized by the NEW Associates, a group loyal to Nyesom Wike, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).

George Turnah, the group coordinator and a chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), organized the rally in honour of the minister.

The rally was said to have commenced when the sounds of gunshots were heard in the area. However, the situation has been reportedly put under control and normalcy restored.

Comrade Ebilade Ekerefe, the Bayelsa NEW Associates secretary, who spoke to journalists after the gunshots, said that the rally must continue. Meanwhile, the supporters of the NEW Associates have regrouped and continued with the rally.
