The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Presidential Campaign Council, PCC, says it has cancelled the Presidential Campaign in Rivers State, citing insecurity as the reason.
The PDP PCC had earlier planned that the Campaign would hold in Port Harcourt, Rivers State on Tuesday. But the PDP PCC Chairman in Rivers State, Senator Lee Maeba disclosed it would no longer hold citing insecurity.
Senator Maeba stated: “The expected victory of Atiku Abubakar does not worth the blood of any Rivers man or woman.”
It would be recalled that Governor Nyesom Wike had earlier cancelled the permission the State Government gave to the PDP to use the Adokiye Amiesimaka Stadium in Port Harcourt for the Presidential Campaign Rally. It later restored it, but the State PDP PCC turned it down.
A few days ago, the Chairman of the State PCC, Dr Abiye Sekibo was attacked by assassins at the new venue the PDP chose for the Rally. The venue was, also, set ablaze.
Sekibo put the blame on Nyesom Wike, but the Governor denied culpability.
