ATIKU’S CAMPAIGN GROUPS RAISE ALARM OVER LACK OF FUNDS, SAY EX-VP MAY LOSE ELECTION

The Coalition of All Atiku Support Groups, Lagos State has decried alleged lack of campaign materials for about 800 pro-Atiku groups in the state.

The coalition also claimed that coordinators of these groups in Lagos and some South West states are using their money to facilitate members to all PDP rallies without grants from campaign headquarters.

Speaking through its Chairman, Mark Iheanyi, who is also the Founder/National Chairman, the group said that the former Vice President, who is the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, risks losing over four million voters from the state.

According to the group, Atiku may suffer a huge loss due to “the lingering denial of campaign materials and grants.”

Iheanyi said, “The leadership of the party has never told us that the support groups will not be compensated for their efforts.

“The tactical manner they are going about it needs to be re-examined. Even when PDP leaders had a meeting with the coordinators of the groups in Lagos, they went home disgruntled.

“Something has to be done fast before our teeming members are demoralised and forced to abandon the campaign.

“Given the 6.6 million voting population of Lagos State, we require at least two campaign buses for each of the three senatorial zones.”
