The Delta State Government has said contrary to online reports, it never denied the Labour Party venue for their Presidential Campaign rally in the state.
“The state government immediately within three minutes reached out to the Oshimili South Local Government Council and secured a waiver of all formalities and made the Arcade in Asaba available for the Labour party to hold its presidential rally,” he said.
The Commissioner further said that in order to demonstrate the state’s democratic credentials and tolerance for opposition, it graciously waived the amount payable for the venue. He however urged the party to carry on its rally peacefully in line with laid down rules and regulations.All rights reserved.
