The All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship candidate in Rivers State, Tonye Cole, has narrated how he was beaten up by suspected political thugs around the office of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) in Port Harcourt, on Monday.<\/p>\n

WITHIN NIGERIA had earlier reported that supporters of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, and the APC clashed<\/a> in Port Harcourt over the inspection of electoral materials used for the March 18 governorship election in front of the INEC office.<\/p>\n

It was gathered that the protesting youths\u00a0raced towards Cole, who was in the company of the state APC Chairman, Emeka Beke, and other party leaders, and pelted stones and water sachets at him.<\/p>\n

He said: \u201cWe said we were coming back today (Monday) and because we said we are coming back today, the PDP organized thugs everywhere to prevent us from getting to the INEC office.<\/p>\n

\u201cI wasn\u2019t deterred and so I went with my party chairman, the women leader, the youth leader, and senior officials of the APC to the INEC office.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey had barricaded the road from GRA Junction, everywhere boys, girls. They began to assault me, I came out and a woman began to drag my shirt, they pulled me from the back, first, they were throwing water then they began to throw food and the next minute they started throwing stones.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe next thing after that, we started hearing gunshots, it took my security people to forcefully evict me.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey destroyed our vehicles, they injured me. They slapped me, they punched me, they pulled my shirt, they dragged me, and then threw stones at me until I was injured in the back.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
