According to Ekwutosblog Supporters of Nyesom Wike, minister of Federal Capital Territory (FCT), have postponed their planned rally in Bayelsa state.
Ekwutosblog reports that George Turnah, lead convener of pro-Wike group
NEW Associates, announced this at a press conference in Yenagoa.
The rally was intended to express solidarity and appreciation for President Bola Tinubu and Minister Wike for facilitating the appointment of prominent Bayelsa indigenes into key positions.
Bayelsa government however opposed the rally, and a state high court had issued an order restraining them from holding the event.
The event also coincides with another planned rally by supporters of Douye Diri, governor of Bayelsa, aimed at supporting Diri on the same date, at the same venue, and at the same time.
Speaking at the press conference on Friday, Turnah said the pro-Wike rally announced that the rally has been moved to April 26 to avoid potential clashes.
