The request by the Peoples Democratic Party to make use of the MKO Abiola International Stadium for the rally of its presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, has been turned down by the Ogun State Ministry of Youth and Sports.
The PDP had made the request in a letter to the state Commissioner for Youth and Sports on January 3, 2023, ahead of the rally slated for January 19.
In the letter signed by the state secretary, Sunday Solarin, the PDP recalled how an earlier request for the use of the stadium was not obliged by the state government.
The letter read in part, “It is pertinent to mention that the use of this state asset was sought in April 2022 vide a letter dated 5th April 2022 requesting for the use of the facility for the conduct of our party primary.
