Wike Projects 70,000 Crowd for Tinubu’s Rivers Visit, Warns Atiku Will ‘Sell Nigeria’ if Elected President.
Wike spoke yesterday during separate political engagements in Rivers State, ahead of Tinubu’s presidential rally scheduled for today at the 40,000-capacity Adokiye Amiesimaka Stadium in Port Harcourt.
Speaking with journalists after inspecting the venue, the former Rivers governor said residents were enthusiastic about receiving the President and that preparations had been concluded to ensure a successful event.
He said the stadium was chosen because of its larger seating capacity in relation to the Yakubu Gowon Stadium, which accommodates about 16,000 people.
According to Wike, organisers were expecting at least 70,000 Rivers residents, with additional arrangements to accommodate supporters beyond the stadium’s seating capacity. What we are expecting, in fact, there are 70,000 Rivers men and women who will come to receive the President and hear him,” he said. Wike expressed satisfaction with the decorations, organisation and security arrangements, insisting that the enthusiasm of residents would translate into a massive turnout. Everything looks up and has been put together.
