Venue of the PDP presidential rally in Plateau
There is poor turnout at the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) presidential campaign holding at the Rwang Pam township stadium in Jos, capital of Plateau State.
Many of the stands at the rally are scanty and half empty as of 1pm for the rally slated for 10am.
Though the stage was set early enough, many supporters and residents stayed away.
However, party loyalists were seen at the stadium awaiting the arrival of the presidential candidate Atiku Abubakar.
The Nation observed the few people that attended began to occupy the venue from 11am.
As of 1:00pm, the 45,000 capacity stadium was yet to be filled.
It was learnt that major hotels and guests houses in Jos were fully occupied.
The volume of attendants at the stadium was not much compared to what happened at the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential campaign kick off.
As of the time of sending this report, Atiku and his running mate Governor Ifeanyi Okowa were yet to arrive the stadium. (The Nation)
