“What we are saying is that if you want to use primary schools or secondary schools apply so that when you dirty (sic) or destroy the place government can come and clean it.
“We are not saying that you are not entitled to use the place for rallies – dare us we will tell you that we are in charge of Rivers State.
“I have told PDP, you must apply and pay the money and we will allow you to use the place.
“You cannot tell me to allow you to hold a rally and when you destroy the place you will criticize the government,” the governor said.
Wike, who has been engaged in a face-off with Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, insisted that the G5 governors will not be disrespected.

Dogara Replies Wike
Ejesgist.ng gathered that Wike had on Monday blasted Dogara over his support for the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
“What I don’t like in life is people that don’t have character. I can’t stand it. At the appropriate time, I would challenge them to a debate,” Wike said.
“Ask Dogara: ‘What made you leave PDP?’ Dogara was to see me. Unknown to me, he gave me an excuse and I was watching Dogara on TV being received by President Muhammadu Buhari that he has gone to APC.”
However, in a series of tweets on Monday evening, Dogara threatened to reveal a private conversation he had with Wike.
“To my brother, Governor Nyesom Wike; if there is anything you are suffering from, I never thought amnesia would be one of them.
“Why would you think no one, except you, is entitled to a certain set of principles he/she cannot compromise? It’s such a pity if you cannot remember what our discussion [and] agreement was all about.
“Why should only your own position be respected and followed? I would never betray a friend and a brother that is why I won’t respond to your tirade on live TV.
“The details of our conversation [is] sealed up with me but if you feel it’s okay to throw it to the public, kindly give me [a] written consent to divulge it so that the public can judge who is saying the truth. Thank God there was a witness!”
