The National Working Committee of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has been given permission to hold its presidential campaign rally at the state’s Adokiye Amiesimaka Stadium, according to Rivers State Governor Nyesom Wike.
The PDP Presidential Campaign Organization is collaborating with the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Rivers, according to credible intelligence and recent developments, which led the Rivers State Government to revoke the initial authorisation of February 11 on January 31.

The government claimed to have knowledge that the APC, whose operations are characterised by violence and devastation, intended to share the licenced venue with the PDP Presidential Campaign Organization.
Wike said that the government reapproved the use of the site for the state PDP Campaign Rally in the Ogu/Bolo Local Government Area on Tuesday in response to requests from several individuals.
The governor discussed the PDP situation while criticising Iyorchia Ayu, the party’s national chairman, for saying that a G5 member had visited him (Ayu).
The notion, according to Wike, is untrue because none of the five PDP governors who are supporting the party’s Southern Chairmanship would visit Ayu. The G5 governors, he claimed, cannot be forced to abandon their political advocacy by blackmail since they would undoubtedly prevail in the battle.
Wike insisted that no man can chase them away from the party they built.
