Jonathan Will Use The Stadium Whether You Like It Or Not- WIKE Dares Amaechi by Juliaann(f): 10:43pm On Jan 20, 2015 |
As the controversy surrounding the non-approval of the Adokiye Amiesimaka Stadium for President Goodluck Jonathan’s campaign rages, the governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party in Rivers State, Chief Nyesom Wike, has vowed that the facility will be available for the President’s rally on January 28, 2015 The state government had refused to approve the state PDP’s application to be allowed to use the stadium for the event, maintaining that the facility was still under construction. But Wike, who spoke on Tuesday in Port Harcourt, during a meeting with the Goodluck to Goodluck Political Group, declared that contrary to claims by the State Governor, Mr. Rotimi Amaechi, the PDP presidential campaign in Rivers would hold at the Amiesimaka Stadium. The governorship candidate explained that the stadium belonged to the people of the state, insisting that the President would use it irrespective of Amaechi’s stance on the matter. Wike argued that since the All Progressives Congress was able to hold its presidential rally in the stadium on January 6, 2015, it was logical that the PDP could use the same facility for its presidential rally. Explaining that the PDP was committed to the peaceful use of the stadium, Wike added that the state PDP were meeting with relevant stakeholders to ensure that the right thing was done. “The PDP presidential rally will hold at the Adokiye Amiesimaka Stadium on Wednesday, January 28. The APC held their own presidential campaign rally on January 6, 2015 and an earlier rally on October 25, 2014 in the same stadium. “Our presidential rally will hold at that stadium because it belongs to the people. We are working with all stakeholders to ensure that the right thing is done to move the nation forward. We are committed to the peaceful use of the stadium for our Presidential campaigns,” he said. Wike, however, called on members of the Goodluck to Goodluck Political Group to continue with their massive mobilization for the re- election of President Jonathan. Earlier, the Legal Adviser of the group told the PDP governorship candidate that his association was working for Jonathan’s emergence as President for a second term and Wike as the next governor of the state. Wike had also inaugurated committees that would be responsible for the successful organisation of the PDP presidential rally in the state, even as he tasked the committees to work selflessly to set the tone for the re-election of the President. However, the Rivers State PDP Chairman, Mr. Felix Obuah, who spoke on behalf of theh committees, promised that members would deliver a memorable presidential rally in the state.

Aha!! Na so... Amaechi has finally met his match in the person of the next Governor of Rivers State, Ezenwo Wike. We are strongly behind you. What is good for the goose is equally good for the gander and should also be made available. Amaechi should know that this is the property of Rivers State as a whole and he has no right to stop the President from making use of it come Jan. 28th. This one sided favouritism makes me so angry. APC uses it two times but you don't want the President to use it. Is something wrong with him? #GEJ till Amaechi is promoted to "Head, Buhari's washing plate committee"!! 13 Likes 1 Share |

timifizzy: It's okay for Amaechi to have used the stadium for past rallies including the most recent for the APC rally, but it's not okay for PDP to do the same right? He's a "loyal dog" because as a state citizen, he doesn't have the right to use public property? Amaechi has again, disgraced himself. This act of foolishness by daring a sitting president has ruined whatever glimpse of faith few people had in him. Let us see, between presidential power and governor power, who wins... Nonsense. 8 Likes |

Legally, if the state government built the stadium then they have administrative oversight and control over its use. They can deny anybody no matter how highly placed because there is no legal right to use a stadium. However, if the APC has used the same stadium for their own rally just recently then it becomes a moral issue. The governor should allow the PDP the same benefit. 4 Likes |

barcanista: I strongly disagree with you. What did Jonathan say in 2011 when the then Governor of Adamawa State under PDP, Murtala Nyako denied Buhari the Stadium and the State Presidential Lodge when he went there to campaign?! Was Jonathan deaf and dumb then?! http://saharareporters.com/2011/03/10/adamawa-gov-denies-campaign-venues-candidate-buhari 5 Likes |

manny4life:The problem is that most approach issues in a bid to flex power to see who the "alpha male" is. It might look a bit odd to deny Mr President access to the stadium in implied terms, but he didn't just do so without proper foundation and explanations. If after his explanation, the presidency or other concerned pdp members still think they are being unduly exterminated from the structure, why don't they run a check to see if the claim of "stadium under construction" is true or false. Ranting solidarity chorus and trying to make a mountain out of a mole hill isn't the way to this at all... God forbids that the stadium collapse during rally, who do you think will be made to take the blames ? "The governor" of course, but has he has warned of the state of the stadium now. If the Pdp governorship aspirant still feels there is no other possible venue in the state for the rally except the structure under construction, I wish him and his master "goodluck. He who has ears, .............. " 1 Like |

The stadium is not available because the contractors have resumed work....and its very simple...if heavy tractors are placed at the entrances and all the electricity structures are cut off..and they pour sand and gravel along the drive path...let me see how Wike, Police, Soldiers and GEJ will manage to use this stadium...like the yoruba adage says..aya gidigba o le silekun, afeni to ba ni kokoro...meaning...a door cannot be opened by a man with muscle but by a man with the key 1 Like |

I understand, but for the fact that it was made available twice for APC, he should make it available too for PDP. We should avoid unnecessary controversy now and concentrate on campaign. donphilopus: 1 Like |
