Battle ready soldiers have reportedly taken over the Adokie Amiesimaka Stadium, located in Igwuruta-Ali in Ikwerre Local Government Area, ahead of President Goodluck Jonathan’s campaign rally in the stadium.

Jonathan is expected to be at the presidential rally of the Peoples Democratic Party in Rivers on January 28.

While the state government refused to approve the application from the state PDP for the use of the Adokie Amiesimaka Stadium for its presidential rally, soldiers reportedly took over the place on Friday night.

Tony Okocha, Chief of Staff to Governor Rotimi Amaechi, described the action of the PDP and the Presidency, who might have directed soldiers to forcefully enter the stadium, as criminal.

Okocha called for calm and promised that the matter would be reported to the international community.

The soldiers should have been used to take over Sambisa forest, Baga, Gwoza, Michika and other places captured by Boko Haram instead of taking over a stadium for political campaign. Mtswss.

Amaechi hasn't seen anything yet, what was he thinking? After using the stadium for his party's campaing twice, he thinks he can stop a whole President from using it? Mabye in the north but not in the ND where the Presido hails from.
What rubbish!

Ozin:
Now this is how to use the federal might... no need to argue with noise makers like Ameachi, Tinubu,Lai Mohammed etc, take command as the C n C and watch them change tune from calling you clueless to being a dictator

U get sense at all? The owner of the stadium, the Rivers State Government, has said it doesn't want it to be used. Why must PDP use soldiers, that are supposed to be in the North East, to forcefully take it?

You called this Federal might? Only in Nigeria will a citizen support unlawful act because of political affiliation.

Ever wondered why soldiers and policemen beat civilians at will?

Who is the Rivers state government? The stadium was built by Rivers people's money and over 90% of them will be very happy to see the President use the stadium.
A governor cannot overrule the interest of the people because of selfish party interests.

Of all places.... stadium and many local governments are in the hands of BH.

This is the best way to use federal might?

Command indeed!!!!!

The Stadium belongs to the rivers people... They are all tax payers. You don't divide the people with cheap politics. If the Stadium was good enough for APC rallies, then why not PDP? Everybody is suppose to have a fair chance with government properties.

This is what happens when a rat decides to pick a fight with a lion. I will like to see Amaechi go in there to stop the soldiers.
