*We’re aware you’re working for Tinubu
Eric Olusesan/Port Harcourt
Atiku Abubakar Presidential Campaign Council has denied the claim by Governor Nyesom Wike’s administration that it was conspiring with Tonye Patrick Cole, All Progressives Congress APC, Governorship candidate to share the Adokye Amiesimaka Stadium as reason for the cancelling its approval.
In swift press statement posted online, and signed by Dr. Abiye Sekibo, the Director General of the Atiku Presidential Campaign said that it is patently false and perverse and that the highly respected security agencies cannot furnish the government with such untrue and unfounded lies.
The PDP Presidential Campaign Council said it has nothing whatsoever to do with the APC in Rivers State. And it is appalling and highly preposterous for Governor Nyesom Wike or anyone to assume that the PDP and APC could jointly hold an event in the same venue.
Dr. Sekibo said further that ‘We believe that the only reason for this cancellation is Your Excellency’s and notice of our massive mobilization and total acceptance of Waziri Atiku Abubakar as the next President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria by the people of River States.
“However, we are rather aware by credible information reaching us that Your Excellency has directed all Local Government Council Chairman, Special Advisers, Commissioners, Party Executives at the state, local government, and ward levels, and all other appointees of yours to work for the APC presidential candidate Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tunibu even though you have not had the courage to announce same to the people of Rivers State”.
The Campaign Council reminded Wike that his general public utterances, innuendos and conduct have pointed to the fact that his is bent on frustrating and if possible, preventing the emergence of the PDP Presidential candidate, His Excellency, Atiku Abubakar, GCON, Waziri Adamawa, as the next President of Federal Republic of Nigeria.
“Finally, your involvement in the so called G-5 is the height of anti-party activity. It is therefore surprising that you are now accusing us of hob-nobbing with APC faction in River State”.
