We did not deny Labour Party campaign venue – Delta Govt

The Delta State Government has denied the report that it denied the Labour Party the use of a venue to hold its presidential campaign rally in Asaba.

Commissioner for Information, Mr Charles Aniagwu, stated this at a news briefing on Tuesday in Asaba, describing the allegation as “cheap lies and blackmail.”

According to him, with barely 10 minutes after approving the Oshimili Arcade in Asaba and granting the Labour Party the necessary waiver, the party ran to social media to say it was denied a venue. The commissioner stated that the party, ab initio, did not apply to the government for use of any facility in the state.

Aniagwu added that the state government decided to waive the issue of the application and the payment which the party ought to have done before securing the venue.
