The PDP Presidential Campaign rally in Birnin Kebbi this Saturday has been lacklustre as major stakeholders in Kebbi State boycotted the event which ended as a divided house.
The Presidential Candidate of the Party, Atiku Abubakar, and his running mate, Governor Ifeanyi Okowa come to Kebbi to be greeted by in-fighting between ‘’invaders’’ who contested and lost Primary elections in APC and hurriedly rushed to PDP to snatch positions at all costs and bonafide members of the PDP who felt aggrieved by such act of dishonour.
Already, litigation is ongoing at the Apex Court to restore what the bonafide members of the party believe are their rights and privileges.
As was glaring, major stalwarts and top notchers of the PDP absented themselves from the Presidential Campaign that deemed that glamour of the event.
Such big names include former minister for special duties Kabiru Tanimu, former chief of army staff Lt. Gen. Ishaya Bamayi, former minister for foreign affairs, Samaila Sa’idu Samabawa, former minister Buhari Bala, former gubernatorial candidate of the PDP in 2015, Major General Bello Sarkin Yaki, a gubernatorial aspirant of the PDP, Barr. Ibrahim Manga, PDP senatorial candidate in Kebbi North, Sani Bawa, and PDP senatorial candidates in Kebbi Central, Haruna Saidu, and PDP senatorial candidates in Kebbi, Sani Bawa, and PDP
These juggernauts and their teeming supporters stayed away from the campaign rally, which forced the organizers to hire supporters from the neighbouring states of Sokoto, Zamfara, and Niger as well as the neighbouring countries of Benin and Niger Republics to make up for the deficit and save face.
