Also yesterday, Governor Nyesome Wike revoked Atiku’s permission to use Adokye Amiesimaka Stadium for his campaign on February 11, 2023.

In a press statement written by its Public Relations Officer, Dr. Sam Kpenu, the UNIPORT management dismissed a complaint reportedly attributed to one Mr Humble lion with the phone number +234 7031061646 that was making the rounds on social media.

However, the Administration emphasized that it has not approved any political campaign rallies at the University and has no grounds for doing so.

UNIPORT also said that it is not contemplating releasing its facility to the Atiku Campaign Council and therefore called the public to “discountenance this deliberate falsehood aimed at tarnishing the towering reputation of the University as it is simply a figment of the imagination of the author”.JAMB portal
