The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has canceled its presidential campaign rally in Rivers State over suspected reports of insecurity.
The party’s presidential campaign council announced on Monday, they have put off the rally in the state due or reasons unknown.
Reacting to the development, River State Governor Nyesom Wike said the decision by the PDP presidential campaign council in Rivers was expected because none of the members has the political clout to mobilize an encouraging number of supporters for the rally.
The Governor spoke on Monday at the State PDP rally in the Akuku-Toru Local Government Area where he addressed some other political and development issues.
He described those in charge of the campaign of his party’s flag bearer, Atiku Abubakar as not having the political capacity to mobilize supporters in Rivers.
Wike and four other PDP governors in the southern region of Nigeria have, for months, demanded the resignation of PDP National Chairman, Iyorchia Ayu as a precondition to support Atiku’s presidential ambition in the 25 February poll.
