Rivers governor, Nyesom Wike has said approval has been given to the Presidential Campaign Council (PCC) of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to use the Adokiye Amiesimaka Stadium for campaign of the party’s presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar in the state.

POLITICS NIGERIA reports that Wike however explained that the approval granted at no cost to the PCC, is that the Stadium will be accessible to the council 48 hours before the February 11th, presidential campaign.

The governor who disclosed this while speaking at the campaign flag-off rally by the Rivers State PDP Campaign Council in Oyigbo Local Government Area (LGA) on Friday, said the Director-General (DG) of the PCC in Rivers State, Abiye Sekibo has no right to want to take possession of the stadium one month before the date of the stipulated event.

He warned 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 cancelled.

Governor Wike, however, said by the approval he signed, Sekibo and his group can only begin to access the stadium two days to the event to verify and put in place what they required for their rally.

“Let me also use this opportunity to warn Abiye Sekibo, we have made approval for your presidential candidate to use Adokiye Amiesimaka Stadium, 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.

“Nobody gave you one month. So, if you dare it again, to go and force yourself into the stadium, I will cancel the approval with immediate effect. Dare it again, I will cancel it. Heaven will not fall. In fact, if heaven falls now, we will be happy that it was in our time heaven came down,” he said.

Furthermore, the governor wondered why Sekibo was acting against the approval given to him and said it appears that he is finding a reason to blame in the event that the rally fails.

“I know you are not ready to do that rally. You are only looking for excuse. But you must do it. I know you are going to import people, no problems, go and import. We have given you the stadium.”
