Description
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has cried foul following the refusal of the Ogun State government to grant its request for use of the MKO Abiola International Stadium for the presidential campaign rally of its candidate, Atiku Abubakar.
The Secretary of the party in the state, Sunday Solarin who raised the alarm on Monday, said the party had made request in a letter to the Ogun State Ministry of Youth and Sports on January 3, 2023, ahead of the rally slated for January 19, the request was not honoured by the government.
Solarin noted that the party was shocked when the Ministry, in a letter by the Commissioner for Youths and Sports, denied the PDP the use of the stadium citing ongoing repair works only for the finals of the Iseya Football Cup Competition to be staged at the same facility on Sunday.
