  "summary": "Rotimi Amaechi has challenged Nyesom Wike and Rivers State authorities to provide a venue for Atiku Abubakar’s presidential campaign rally. This challenge comes as political groups aligned with the FCT minister mobilise support for President Bola Tinubu in Rivers, according to Premium Times.\n\nDuring President Bola Tinubu’s presidential campaign rally in Rivers State on Saturday, Senator Adams Oshiomhole alleged that Amaechi previously called Atiku Abubakar a thief and an election rigger. Oshiomhole claimed that Amaechi stated in court documents that Atiku rigged his party's primaries.\n\nOshiomhole further alleged that during Buhari's tenure, Amaechi announced a boycott of the election when he saw Wike's forces were going to overrun him. The senator also characterized Amaechi as a \"very bad\" friend and suggested he was prepared to become the vice president for a candidate he considered \"dead on arrival.\"",
