There was palpable tension on Saturday in Yenagoa, Bayelsa state, after sounds of gunshots disrupted a mega rally by a political group reportedly loyal to the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike.
Reports obtained by Naija News revealed that the rally is being organized by a group coordinated by a prominent member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the state, George Turnah.
The rally was ongoing when sounds of gunshots blazed across the area, raising concerns among residents.
Moments later, normalcy was restored in the area according to the Secretary of NEW Associates in Bayelsa, Comrade Ebilade Ekerefe, who interacted with journalists.
He noted that the rally would continue despite the disruption.
Supporters who initially fled for safety have since regrouped to press on with the event, Naija News understands.
