“When I got the call, I immediately rushed to the party office to see for myself the level of the inferno and extent of damages.
“The target was my office as everything in my office was destroyed by fire.
“All the chairs, tables, documents and other office equipment were destroyed.”

“I wonder what is the intention of those behind putting the PDP office on fire.
