The Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, on Monday offered reasons why the rally of the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party for the 2023 polls in Nigeria, Atiku Abubakar, in the state was cancelled by his campaigners. Wike offered the explanation at Nyemoni Secondary School, Abonnema, venue of PDP’s campaign for Akuku-Toru LGA. He said the campaigners lied when they said the rally was called off because of fear of bloodshed.
