The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) on Tuesday, said it cancelled its planned Presidential Campaign rally in Rivers State due to rising spate of insecurity in the state.
Spokesman of the PDP Presidential Campaign Council, Mr Charles Aniagwu, disclosed this while speaking on Kakaaki on AIT.
He said that the party opted out of the rally because Atiku Abubakar and Ifeanyi Okowa believe that their ambition was not worth the blood of any Nigerian.
He accused Rivers Governor Nyesom Wike of setting booby traps and mines for Atiku’s supporters in the state, adding that Nigerians didn’t witness half of what Wike is doing in Rivers during the military era in the country.
He said the PDP’s selling point in the election is the abysmal performance of the APC, pointing out that PDP will sweep virtually all the strongholds of the APC in the country.
“Is it not preposterous that a Wike who claimed APC had cancer and PDP malaria that was treatable, has now turned around to support same Tinubu and APC he once denigrated? That tells you the character of the man he is.
“Atiku has examined the whole scenario playing out in Rivers State, yes he may have enough policemen to secure him, his running mate, Dr Ifeanyi Okowa and indeed some leaders of the party in Rivers, but will it be possible to provide enough security for the massive supporters that will come to the stadium that was approved, cancelled and re-approved?
“So like Jonathan said in 2015 when he said that his ambition is not worth the blood of any Nigerian, the Presidential Candidate of the PDP and his running mate believe that their ambition is not worth the blood of any Nigerian and that they will not want to sacrifice any Nigerian on the altar of wanting to be President.”
