Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike says the state government has re-issued the approval for the National Working Committee of his Party, the PDP, to use the Adokiye Amiesimaka Stadium in the state to host its presidential campaign rally.

The Rivers State Government had on January 31 withdrawn the initial approval of January 11 on the grounds that credible intelligence and recent development show that the PDP Presidential Campaign Organisation is working in collaboration with the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Rivers.

However, at the state PDP Campaign rally in the Ogu/Bolo Local Government Area yesterday, Wike revealed that the government re-approved the use of the venue after pleas by many personalities.

The governor also spoke on the crisis in the PDP, even as he faulted “the comment” by the National Chairman of the party, Iyorchia Ayu that a member of the G5 paid him a visit.
