PORT HARCOURT– There seems to be an end to the crisis rocking the opposition political party, Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.
This is as the leader of the G-5 Governors of the party, and the Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike has approved the venue for the campaign rally of the presidential candidate of the PDP, Atiku Abubakar.
Wike said approval has been given to the Presidential Campaign Council (PCC) of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to use the Adokiye Amiesimaka Stadium for the campaign of the party’s presidential candidate, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar in the State.
The governor, however, explained that the approval granted, at no cost to the Presidential Campaign Council, is that the Stadium will be accessible to the council 48 hours to the February 11th, 2023 presidential flag-off campaign in Rivers State.
Governor Wike, who disclosed this while speaking at the campaign flag-off rally by the Rivers State PDP Campaign Council in Oyigbo Local Government Area on Friday, said the Director-General of the PCC in Rivers State, Dr. Abiye Sekibo has no right to take possession of the stadium one month before the date of the stipulated event.
He warned Dr. Sekibo not to provoke the Rivers State government by desperately wanting to take possession of the State-owned stadium weeks to the campaign, or else the approval will be canceled.
“Let me also use this opportunity to warn Abiye Sekibo. We have made approval for your presidential candidate to use Adokiye Amiesimaka Stadium, on February 11th. You have no right to begin to go to the stadium now. We cannot give you access to the stadium now. We can only give you access to the stadium two days to the occasion for you to prepare.
