After the controversy regarding
the use of Adokiye Amiesimaka stadium in Rivers State for the PDP
rally,the presidential campaign in Portharcourt took place yesterday
Wednesday 28th January 2015.A mammoth crowd showed up at the rally
ground..
Earlier, governor Amaechi had tried to stop the PDP from using the said
stadium citing an ongoing construction work ..However, armed soldiers
reportedly took over the stadium on Friday night and were stationed
there until yesterday ..
On Amaechi,president Jonathan said
“What I want to tell you and the rest of the country is that the
director-general of the APC presidential campaign organisation, when he
was in Yenagoa and when he was in Port Harcourt, mentioned clearly that
the President had done nothing for the two states.
“Don’t worry. It
is good news because people are saying that I concentrated development
in the South-South. Bayelsa State was part of Rivers State. Then, if I
don’t concentrate development in this state, that means there has not
been development in Rivers and Bayelsa states.
“The DG (Amaechi) is telling Nigerians that I have not
done this. That means that I am a transparent person. I did not
allocate positions to my people. The DG would have been the very first
person to expose me to the rest of the world; not just Nigeria. He would have taken me to America, to South Africa, to France, to UK, but that shows clearly that we mean well for this country.
