Labour Party Didn’t Apply for Campaign Venue, Delta Govt Replies Utomi Sylvester Idowu in Warri Delta State Government has chided Labour Party (LP) chieftain, Prof. Pat Utomi, over what it termed as the false and mislea
Delta State Government has chided Labour Party chieftain, Prof. Pat Utomi, over what it termed as the false and misleading claims that the government denied the party venue for its presidential campaign in the state.
“The LP did not write to us as a government that it was going to have a rally in Delta. Somebody as highly placed as Prof. Pat Utomi went to town to allege that they have been prevented from campaigning in Delta. The commissioner said the state government granted permission to the party for the rally and waived payment for the venue to demonstrate its democratic credentials.
“And Dr. Ifeanyi Okowa and Atiku Abubakar believe that every party should be free to campaign whereever they want. You can see that, that is what we are doing in Delta. “I challenge him to show us any letter of application for venue and let him also deny that it was not on Sunday morning that they spoke to me that they needed to campaign in Delta.
“The reason we allow everyone to come here and campaign is that we are very much on ground. We are on ground because one, Dr. Ifeanyi Okowa has performed. He said the APC, the main opposition party in the state, flagged off its campaign at the Warri Township Stadium few weeks ago. “Everyone in Delta and Nigeria know the type of man Senator Ifeanyi Okowa is. His personage is infectious; everybody knows that his other name is humility, and he is very tolerant.
