There was tension on Saturday in Yenagoa, Bayelsa state, over sounds of gunshots at the venue of the mega rally by a group, NEW Associates, loyal to the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike.

The rally is being organized by the group coordinated by George Turnah, a stalwart of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), in the state.
