Suspected political thugs have reportedly attacked local government congresses organised by a faction of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) loyal to the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, in Oyo State.
It was gathered that the party currently has two factions in the state—one aligned with Wike and the other loyal to Governor Seyi Makinde.
According to the media, the Wike-aligned faction had scheduled its local government congresses to hold on Saturday. However, the exercise was disrupted after hoodlums allegedly invaded the venues and attacked participants while the congresses were in progress.
