He said: “Let me use the opportunity to debunk an allegation that some persons may have made that one Abiye Sekibo said that I sponsored assassination; attempted assassination on his life.

“I want to state categorically clear, all of us from Rivers State know who is who. We know who has killed so many people in this state.

“So, we granted approval for the candidate (president) of the party to hold their rally at Adokiye Amiesimaka Stadium. I do know that if you go there today, no stadium has been burnt.

“And so it is impossible for anybody to say somebody’s life was attempted and then the place was burnt down. It is not correct.”
