The Campaign Council said the rally would no longer hold because their members are exposed to violence.
The statement by Sen Lee Maeba, PDP PCC Chairman in Rivers, noted that: “The expected victory of Atiku Abubakar does not worth the blood of any Rivers man or woman.”
The party has for weeks been complaining of attacks on its members by supporters and sympathisers of Governor Nyesom Wike led faction of the party.
