We won’t collect N3,000 to campaign, vote for Tinubu in Kano: APC Supporters
Some members of the All Progressives Congress in Kano have expressed displeasure over the N3,000 each the party gave them to attend President Bola Tinubu’s campaign rally.
About seven men in yellow T-shirts branded with the APC logo stood with one speaking, expressing dissatisfaction with the N3,000 stipends they were paid for attending Mr Tinubu’s campaign in Kano.
Speaking for the group, a man who identified himself as Salisu Shuaibu said the N3,000 they were paid for campaigning for Mr Tinubu in Kano was too small.
“If this is how the journey would be, we will not support again. You can’t call us to Kano. You did not give birth to us,” Mr Shuaibu said. “We came out since 7 a.m. Some spent N1,000, some spent N1,500, and we gave you N3,000. Before we return, we borrow money. If this is what is going to happen (in the future), we will not be part of this campaign again. We supported you fully. We will not be going again.”
