The request by the Peoples Democratic Party to make use of the MKO Abiola International Stadium for the rally of its presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, has been turned down by the Ogun State Ministry of Youth and Sports.

The PDP had made the request in a letter to the state Commissioner for Youth and Sports on January 3, 2023, ahead of the rally slated for January 19.

In the letter signed by the state secretary, Sunday Solarin, the PDP recalled how an earlier request for the use of the stadium was not obliged by the state government. The letter read in part, “It is pertinent to mention that the use of this state asset was sought in April 2022 vide a letter dated 5th April 2022 requesting for the use of the facility for the conduct of our party primary.

Surprisingly, our humble request was kept in abeyance to date which translated to tactical denial. While we will like to put this unwarranted denial behind us, we wish to vehemently emphasise that the use of state assets should be to the benefit of the general citizenry irrespective of any leaning. “We, therefore, once again formally write to seek the usage of this facility for the purpose, and on the date indicated above.”

Nice one like okowa

What a misleading information, APC themselves did not use the stadium, not even Tinubu nor the APC gubernatorial candidate used the stadium for campaign.

It doesn't concern us the obidient na them them

It is tit for tat. Last week, the Adamawa governor refused to let the APC host their campaign rally at the state stadium. The Apc had to use a different venue. If PDP can deny Tinubu to use its stadium, APC should also be able to do the same to Atiku. Let's move on, abeg.

Awon werey in power

This is wrong, unsportsmanlike and undemocratic. He is a Nigerian and as such shouldn’t be denied access to the stadium for rally. What is wrong is wrong and what is good is good it doesn’t matter who is involved.

This is undemocratic. The eleyi of Ogun should know that power is transcient.

Am just passing 🚶🚶 oo

I am now certain that PDP is taking over. APC is jittery and ATIKU is the incoming President.

Ihedioha’s Governorship Ambition Is Frustrating Atiku’s Presidential Campaign —Imo Campaign DG, Egu | Sahara ReportersThe Imo State Director-General of Atiku/Okowa Presidential Campaign Council, Greg Egu has accused the former governor of the state, Emeka Ihedioha of frustrating the Peoples Democratic Party’s presidential campaign activities in the state. Speaking at a press briefing in Owerri on Thursday, Egu said that Ihedioha’s governorship ambition in the state has become a problem to Atiku’s presidential campaign in the state, adding that his actions could jeopardise Atiku’s campaign. DOA It's only saboteurs will vote for ihedioha that useless criminal As far as I am concerned, Atiku is just wasting his time and he is definitely going to fail. Emeka Ihedioha is our hope for a new Imo state, we just only need to support him to win the governorship election to rebuild Imo while we support Peter Obi to win presidency.
