The closure of routes leading to and from the Warri Township Stadium ordered by the Warri South council chairman ,Dr Michael Tidi has been condemned by the Delta APC Campaign Organization.
The Delta APC Campaign Organization frowned at the closure of the roads leading to and from the Warri Stadium venue of the APC Presidential Rally and Delta State Campaign flag off billed for Saturday, 19th November, 2022 .
The Presidential rally and state flag off are scheduled flagship events that will cover all nooks and crannies of the State in the months ahead.
In a statement by Ima Niboro, Director, Communications and Media Strategy, the Campaign Organisation described the act as “perfidious road closures aimed at stalling Saturday’s grand events .“
According to him, “information reaching us indicates that the Warri South local government council Chairman, Dr Michael Tidi, has given an order closing routes leading to the Warri Township Stadium with effect from Monday, November 14 through Monday, November 28.
“The closed routes include Ubeji Roundabout, Okere Square and the Edjeba Community Road from SPDC Gate. He did not give any reason for the closure but went ahead to provide very difficult ‘alternative routes’ such as Elizabeth Close for Ubeji Roundabout users, Eboh Road for Okere Square and DBS Warri route for Edjeba Community Road users.
“Delta APC Campaign Organization views the action of the Warri South local government council Chairman as an attempt to frustrate and sabotage the flag off of the Presidential and Gubernatorial campaigns of the party by the ruling PDP in the Delta State.
“We appeal to our teeming members to remain law abiding and follow the instructions that will be released on alternative routes to the stadium,” Niboro said.
