2023: Wike Reveals Reason For Allowing Atiku Use Stadium For

The Governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike, has disclosed why he decided to allow the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar access to the Adokiye Amiesimaka Stadium for his campaign rally.

While speaking at the campaign flag-off rally by the Rivers State PDP Campaign Council in Oyigbo Local Government Area on Friday, Wike stated that he gave out the venue so that he would not be blamed for the party's inability to attract supporters at the rally.

According to the governor, the Director-General of the PCC in Rivers State, Dr Abiye Sekibo has no right to want to take possession of the stadium one month before the date of the scheduled event.

“I have given you permission to use the stadium for your presidential candidate.

“I know you are not ready to do that rally. You are only looking for an 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”, Governor Wike said.

“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.

“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 added.
