Hoodlums disrupted Saturday’s local government congress of the Mr Nyesom Wike faction of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), leaving a trail of destruction of property and injuries. The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that party members were attacked at Bodija, Ibadan North Local Government Area, and allegedly, at other venues of the congress across the state. According to a member of the faction, Julius Adekunle, the hoodlums attacked almost all the designated venues of the congresses across the state. “It was a planned attack because the hoodlums touched many of the venues across the state. “Reports from Ogbomoso North, Ibarapa Central, Akinyele, Ibadan North LGAs, among others, showed that not less than 10 of our members were attacked.
