Thousands of hired ‘supporters’ of President
Goodluck Jonathan declaration to seek
reelection performed a mini sit-down protest
at the Eagle Square to show their fury over
non-payment of their N2000 per head fee.
According to reports, the protest was held during
GEJ’s official declaration.
The rented followers, who assembled at the place
of the occasion as early as 7.00am, upheld that
their handlers didn’t pay the money promised to
them.
A visibly-irritated supporter who wanted to be
anonymous uttered his displeasure over the
casual attitude of some of the leaders of the
various groups who brought them to the event
for not showing any concern for their well-being
despite the long distances they had to travel.
He said, “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.”
