Delegates for Saturday’s presidential convention of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) in Port Harcourt have complained about hunger occasioned by inability of the convention’s welfare committee failed to distribute snacks and water across the delegates.
The delegates who expressed anger over the manner they are being treated despite their early arrival at Adokiye Amiesiekema stadium, noted that even bottled water brought did not go around and the security arrangement in the stadium did not oes not allow for easy movement.
The convention has been delayed as leaders of the party and aspirants are said to be holding a crucial meeting to iron out some conflicting issues before the convention.
Some delegates in Cross River, Delta, Ebonyi and Edo states, told newsmen that they are bitter because welfare committee would have been very active to prevent anybody from collapsing because of starvation.
As the time of filling this report, a van suspected to have carried some foods is packed inside the main bowl of the stadium, but protocol operators are not.
