The hired
supporters, who converged at the venue of the event as early as
7.00am, maintained that their handlers had failed to pay the money
promised to them.
A
visibly-angry supporter who pleaded anonymity expressed his displeasure over
the nonchalant attitude of some of the leaders of the various groups who
brought them to the event for not showing any concern for their welfare despite
the long distances they had to travel.
“They
asked us to enter the bus when they came to Maraba this morning and they
promised to give us two thousand Naira each and also give us food but we are
very disappointed to see them running around and later disappear into the
middle of the crowd and nobody come back to give any money or bring water
for us to drink.”
Effort to
get any of the leaders to react to the allegations was fruitless as their
mobile phone numbers were switched off.
