The Governor of Imo State, Rochas Okorocha has dubunked the rumour going round since yesterday that the government denied Senator Hope Uzodinma access to the Dan Anyiam Stadium.
The candidate of All Pregressives Congress, Hope Uzodinma is kicking off his campaign today in Owerri. His campaign team has alleged since yesterday, that the forces from the government refused to give them access to the state stadium that they originally planned to use. Hence, they were going to move the programme to the campaign secretariat of the APC candidate in Okigwe road.
In a statement released this morning, however, the governor said the stadium should be open for free to all political parties who wishes to use it. Read the full text below:
