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.
The president, who arrived the stadium
at about 1.30pm, went round the scanty
stadium, before taking his seat.
In his speech, Jonathan said Kaduna was
one of the major beneficiaries of the
Federal Government and as such, it was
payback time for the people of the
state to re-elect him in the February 14
election.
He said the state was the focus of the
Federal Government in the next four
years if elected.
He added that the collapsed textile
mills in the state would be revived, so
as to create jobs for the teeming
youths in the state.
Jonathan noted that the state must
work with the party for the
development of the state.
Vice President Namadi Sambo had
earlier, in his speech, said the people of
the state appreciated the gesture of
the president for his(Sambo) choice as
his running mate in the February poll.
He described the president as patriotic
and detribalized and therefore urged
the people of the state to vote the
party in all the elections.
Sambo said the president loved the
people of the region, pointing out that
the president was determined to bring
back the collapse industry in Kaduna
State through the establishment of the
215-megawatt Kudendan Power Plant in
the state.
Also, Senate President David Mark said
Kaduna was important to the party, as
according to him, if the state leads,
other parts of the North would follow in
the forthcoming election. www.saharareporters.com/2015/01/31/poor-turnout-jonathan-takes-campaign-kaduna-punch

Kaduna people are afraid of insecurity. Can't wait till Val day.

Even the people of kaduna do not want their hopeless son (the V.P) back in Aso Rock.

#SaiBuhari

Even if there were 10million people there, Punch would tell you no one attended. A once great newspaper reduced to suya sellers favorite wrapping sheet. Sad

As expected, I schooled in kaduna state and I can testify that this people are not in love with GEJ at all, not with sambo , not even with the incumbent governor Mallam yero.Jonathan will loose even in southern kaduna that's dominated by Christian cos everybody are yearning for change there
.

Because they dont want to hear empty promises.

There were reports that the turn out was massive. Haha haha
