December 27, (THEWILL) – A Coalition of Supporters of the Labour Party (LP) in Bauchi State have dissociated itself from posters of its presidential candidate, Peter Obi and his counterpart in the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar, currently in circulation in the State.
Chairman, Obidatti Coalition, Bauchi State, Musa Abel, in a statement, described the development as a deliberate effort to confuse supporters of the LP in the state.
The statement read, “The attention of the Coalition of Obidatti Support Groups in Bauchi State has been attracted to the deliberate misinformation carried out by some persons, who are bent on misdirecting the teeming Obidients in Bauchi state.
“It is aimed at frustrating the obvious victory of HE Peter Obi in the Presidential Election.
“Posters of the PDP Presidential Candidate, Atiku Abubakar, with HE Peter Obi, purportedly as the Vice Presidential candidate of the PDP are recently being placed in strategic locations in Sabon Kaura area of Bauchi State.
“We have informed the Chairman of the Labour Party in Bauchi State, Barrister Hussaini Saraki and the Bauchi State Coordinator, Peter Obi Presidential Campaign Council, Rev Joshua Ray Maina, of this unfortunate development and they are taking it up appropriately.
“This is an attempt at taking advantage of the popularity of HE Peter Obi, the Presidential Candidate of the Labour party and align him with a different party to our detriment.
“The claim that these were 2019 Posters and the persons who placed them were not aware that HE Peter Obi is no more in the PDP calls for serious concern.”
