The Sokoto State Chairman of the Labour Party (LP), Abdulrahaman Chindo has said he and his supporters will boycott the campaign rally of the party's presidential candidate, Peter Obi in the state. In a voice note obtained by SaharaReporters, Abdulrahaman accused Obi and his running mate, Dr Yusuf Datti Baba-Ahmed of sidelining him and his numerous supporters. He added that an Igbo man was given money and asked to chair the rallies to be held in Sokoto, Kebbi and Zamfara states.
In 2022, Obi had named one Ifeanyi Ezeagu, a Christain of Igbo extraction as the Sokoto State coordinator of his campaign organisation.
Kebbi, another state with over 90 percent Muslims also has one Emmanuel Danjuma, a Christian as coordinator. “The Vice President was saddle to look after the Northern Nigeria but unfortunately, I’m disappointed in the Vice President because the money to be used for the rally was given to an individual who is an Igbo man, not an indigene of Sokoto. They said he is going to chair the rallies of Sokoto, Kebbi and Zamfara.
