Wike Justifies Reversal Of Rivers Stadium Approval For Atiku Rally(AFRICAN EXAMINER) – Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike has defended his administration’s action to cancel the approval it earlier granted the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Presidential Campaign Council to use a stadium in the state for its rally. The State Government January 11 approved the use of the Adokiye Amiesimaka Stadium for the PDP presidential rally which is fixed for February 11. The government in the statement accused the PDP Presidential Campaign Council of collaborating with the All Progressives Congress (APC), which is in opposition in Rivers. Speaking during the Rivers State PDP campaign rally in the Degema Local Government Area, Wike said the action by the government is in the interest of the state. Wike, a member of G5 group, has been at loggerheads with the PDP flag bearer, Atiku Abubakar over the chairmanship of Iyorchia Ayu.
