PDP's presidential campaign rally finally held yesterday Wednesday 28th January 2015 in Port Harcourt, Rivers state, despite the controversy which surrounded the use of the Adokiye Amiesimaka stadium.

Governor Rotimi Chibuike Amaechi who is an APC member earlier tried to stop the PDP from using the stadium for their campaign citing an ongoing construction work.

However, armed soldiers reportedly took over the stadium on Friday night and were stationed there untilthe event was over.

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.
