The same thing took place at Obowo LGA and other parts of Okigwe zone.<\/p>\n<p>It is suspected that politicians working against Ihedioha and Uche Nwosu were the ones responsible for the act.<\/p>\n<p>Along Bank road Portharcourt and Worldbank Estate, our reporter also gathered that billboards were destroyed, even political posters were removed by unidentified youths who were suspected to have been hired for the cause.<\/p>\n<p>At the oil producing areas of the state, accusations and counter accusations have become the order of the day at Ohaji\/Egbema and Oguta LGAs.<\/p>\n<p><em>Trumpeta<\/em> noticed that many billboards belonging to candidates and parties have been torn along Porthacourt road and Agwa Junction along Ekekwuru-Izombe roads.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Okey Alozie As the 2019 general election draws nearer, tension is mounting in
