The Labour Party in Bauchi State has been gripped by a crisis just a few hours after the party flagged off its presidential campaign in the state.
Shortly after the LP presidential candidate, Peter Obi and his running mate, Yusuf Datti Ahmed, led other officials of the party to the Abubakar Tafawa-Balewa Memorial Stadium for the event on Thursday, a group of candidates threatened to dump the party over alleged maltreatment by the state executive committee.
The LP House of Assembly candidate for Duguri/Gwana Constituency, Shabbir Duguri, who addressed journalists on behalf of his colleagues, said they were sidelined at the event.
