The Atiku/Okowa Presidential Campaign Council in Rivers has rescheduled its campaign Rally slated to hold on the 11 February to 14, February, 2023.
Dr. Leloonu Nwibubasa, spokesperson for the Campaign Council announced the shift in date in a press statement.
He added that the rally will hold at 9am, but did not disclose the venue in the statement.
He said that the venue will be communicated to members of the public soon as possible.
Nwibubasa, in the statement, said: “The PDP Presidential Campaign Council, Rivers State Chapter, hereby regret to announce the said postponement and plead that the general public, members of PDP and the Supporters of Atiku/Okowa Presidency bear with us on the inconveniences this adjustment in date may cause you.
Remember to keep a date with Atiku/Okowa for a better Nigeria”.
Recall that Governor Nyesom Wike recently reapproved the use of Adokye Amiesimaka stadium for the PDP presidential campaign rally after he initially had cancelled the aproval.
Wike said the cancellation was based on credible intelligence report that the campaign council was going to share the stadium with Tonye Cole, the APC Governorship candidate.
But the re-approval was rejected by the Campaign Council on grounds that the government had not properly formally communicated it through a written memo to Governor Aminu Tambuwal of Sokoto State, the Director-General of Atiku/Okowa Campaign.
He said the state Campaign Council is not excited by Governor Wike’s U-turn re-approval because of his antecedence of always taking back whatever he has given to people.
He cited the revocation of the C of O Senator Lee Maeba’s land, derecognition of Celestine Omehia as governor as examples of instability of the governor in terms of decision making.
