 Supporters of Presidential Candidate of Labour Party (LP) Peter Obi under the auspices of Obi/Datti movement in Bauchi state have threatened to withdraw their support for the party over what they described as a deliberate act of the party leadership not carrying them along in the affairs by the party.

Mr Chiromah Dasham, who is the head of media Presidential Campaign Council (PCC) of Peter Obi and Yusuf Datti in the state, who handed down the warning at a briefing in Bauchi, that alleged that Mr Hussaini Saraki who is the State Chairman of the party has been running a one man show and does not involve people in running the party.

“We the supporters of the Obi/ Datti Movement have resolved that a vote of no confidence is hereby passed on the leadership of Hussaini Saraki -led State Working Committee (SWC).Therefore, we no longer believe in the leadership of Saraki and hereby call on the national leadership of our party to call him to order because his recent actions can lead to failure of the party,” he said.

He accused Saraki of running the party only with his friends and family, adding that the chairman frustrated the movement by sidelining the coalitions and teaming supporters by being high-handed.

Dasham alleged that the sum of N50m was sent to the leadership of the party in the state for mobilization but the leadership of the party in the state has sat on the money at the detriment of the entire membership of the LP in the state.

He called on the presidential candidate of the LP to look into their grievances before it is too late if he actually wants to win election in the state.

“I assure you if the matter is not resolved we will ensure that the Labour Party does not win, we will shift our lolyalties to a different Party,” he said
