Rivers youths protest against Amaechi for refusing Jonathan access to new stadium for campaign : A youth group in Rivers state, under the aegis of Kengema Unity Forum and Egberi Papa foundation yesterday prostested against the intention of the Rivers state government to prevent the PDP from using the Adokiye Amesimaka Stadium for their presidential rally. The youths marched through streets of Port Harcourt, carrying placards. Their leader, Tubo Tamuno Dick told reporters that they were demanding for access to the stadium. Dick claimed that the stadium was built by a PDP government in the state and not the APC. He said, “It is not possible. We must use that stadium. After all, it was built with our common wealth and by a PDP government. It is not Amaechi’s personal property. “Amaechi has used it and there was no problem. Buhari has used it and there was no problem; now we want to use it and they are telling us that work is on-going. “Let us say this now, if anything happens when we are using that stadium, it is Amaechi. If you hear that a part of the stadium has collapsed, it is Amaechi. “So, we are calling on the police to give us security because when Amaechi used it they gave him security. “How will a Northerner come here and use our property and you say our son, President Goodluck Jonathan and Nyesom Wike will not use it. It is a Niger-Delta property.” The PDP Presidential campaign train is scheduled to reach Rivers State on the 28th of January.afikpochictimes/?p=2414
