The breakdown of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) election expenses in the state revealed that N87 million was budgeted for “voter’s mobilisation.” Additionally, N10,000 and N5,000 were allocated for each Polling Officer and Assistant Polling Officer, respectively, in the election.
Sources indicate that Melaye’s frustration stems from feeling defrauded by certain individuals within the PDP, including a Local Government Chairman and his campaign Director-General, whom he claims failed to deliver the election for him.
