Poor turnout as Jonathan takes Campaign to Kaduna

Sahara Reporters - A half-filled stadium marked the presidential campaign rally of President Goodluck Jonathan  at the Ahmadu Bello Stadium, Kaduna, as the President rounded off his re-election campaign in the North-West zone of the country on Saturday.

The 25,000 capacity stadium was half filled as many supporters shunned the Peoples Democratic Party’s presidential candidate’s rally.

A visibly angry deputy governor of the state, Amb. Nuhu Bajoga, was spotted by our correspondent at the rally, complaining bitterly to members of the local organising committee at the main bowl of the stadium.

He reportedly told the committee to “go and bring the crowd.”

It was gathered that the ‘welfare package” for supporters were allegedly diverted by some unnamed officials of the local organising committee.

Curiously, a section of the stadium, rather than praising the president, started singing “sai Buhari,” a situation that forced security operatives to chase the disgruntled supporters out of the stadium.
