Director-General of the Atiku-Okowa People’s Democratic Party (PDP), Presidential Campaign Council, in Rivers State, Mr. Abiye Sekibo, has accused Governor Nyesom Wike of ordering his loyalists and followers to support the Presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
Sekibo disclosed this while reacting to the revocation of the Adokiye Amiesimaka Stadium for the rally of the PDP presidential candidate Atiku Abubakar by the Rivers State government.
The state government in January approved the venue for the event scheduled to hold on February 11, but later revoked the approval.

However, Sekibo said Governor Wike ordered all local government chairmen, his cabinet members, his aides, and executives to support Tinubu’s presidential ambition.
A letter dated February 1, 2022, by Sekibo read in parts, “We are aware that by credible information reaching us that Governor Wike has directed his loyalists, including all local government Chairmen, special adviser, commissioners, party executives at the state and local government level, and all other appointees to work for the APC presidential candidate, Asiwaju Ahmed Bola Tinubu, even though you have not had the courage to boldly announce same to the people of Rivers State.”
