Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, and the All Progressives Congress, APC, exchanged words, Friday night, at the Police Officers Mess, Port Harcourt, Rivers State over the allegation by the PDP that Governor Chibuike Amaechi had refused to approve their application to use the Adokiye Ameisemaka Stadium for its presidential rally on January 28.
Speaking at a forum convened by the state Police Commissioner, Mr Dan Bature, to promote peace among political stakeholders in the state ahead of the general elections, the Chairman of Rivers PDP,
Mr Felix Obuah, accused the APC of being behind political problems in the state, citing the alleged refusal of the governor to grant the party’s request to use the stadium as one of the alleged provocative actions of the APC.
On his part, the Chairman of the APC in the state, Dr Davies Ikanya, who also accused the PDP of attacking his party’s members and properties, said that the request by the PDP was not granted because contractors had resumed work in the stadium.
