The leading opposition party for the forthcoming Presidential election, the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has stood down its Presidential mega rally earlier scheduled to hold tomorrow, Sat., Feb. 9, 2019 following the refusal by the APC led FG and the Buhari Presidency to grant the party access to the venue of the rally.
According to the National Publicity of the party, “this is in spite of the fact that the PDP had made payments to the authorities and obtained official approval to host the mega rally at the Old Parade Ground, Garki, Abuja.
“The PDP invites Nigerians to document this provocative action against our party and our presidential campaign by the Buhari Presidency and the APC.
“It is also instructive to state that we had earlier scheduled our Lagos Mega Rally for the Tafawa Balewa Square on Saturday until the Buhari Presidency and the APC came up with same date forcing our campaign to opt for Abuja.
“We hope that the APC and the Buhari Presidency will allow our Lagos Rally to hold on Tuesday.
“While we regret the inconveniences caused by the insensitive action of the Buhari Presidency and APC, we wish to inform that a rescheduled date for the rally will be communicated soon.”
