              move. As I was driving, from no where I 
              heard a bang at the back of my car. The 
              the back windscreen of my car was 
              destroyed. The bus driver on sighting
              what happened, he absconded leaving
              all the passengers trapped in the bus".

They moved alongside a former member of the house of representatives, Eseme Eyibo, and many others. They were welcomed into the party at a prayer summit and reception held in  honour of Obong Umana Umana, a candidate of APC in 2014 election.
