A meeting organised by some members of the Rivers State Peoples Democratic Party to express their views over the party’s decision not to zone the governorship position in 2015 election was temporarily disrupted by a group of persons suspected to be working for the Nyesom Wike-led PDP.

At least nine persons were injured in the fracas that ensued when the group of persons stormed Delta Hotel in Old GRA, venue of the meeting, at about 12.30pm on Tuesday and engaged in a free-for-all.

The two groups threw chairs and other dangerous objects at each other, even as workers at the hotel watched in disbelief the action of the politicians.

The faction of the state PDP operating under the auspices of the Concerned Rivers State PDP Stakeholders, also held a press conference to call for the dissolution of the state working committee of the party chaired by Felix Obuah.

Calm, however, returned to the place when a group of policemen stormed the place and stopped the fight between the two factions.
