The Nyesom Wike-led Rivers Government will no longer release Adokiye Amiesimaka Stadium for the rally of Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, presidential candidate Atiku Abubakar.
The state government in January approved the venue for the event scheduled to hold on February 11.
Commissioner for Sports, Christopher Green formally conveyed the decision of the administration to Governor Aminu Tambuwal.
The Sokoto helmsman is the Director-General of the PDP Presidential Campaign Council, PCC.
