According to reports, attendees mobilised from neighbouring Enugu State to Lokoja to attend the rally stormed the secretariat and held party officials captive for several hours, asking for their mobilisation fee.
It was also noted that the Igbo community in Kogi State did not show up at the rally. While a few participants were from Kogi West, the majority of the party faithful at the rally were from Kogi East.
When reports of the situation got to the national secretariat in Abuja, officials decided to send a letter to the Kogi State chapter of the party demanding an explanation of how the money earmarked for the event was spent.
However, when contacted, the LP campaign spokesman, Dr Tanko Yunusa, said no one contacted him. According to him, “Nobody queried me or anybody for our performance. You are aware that we got our venue very late.
