The presidential campaign rally of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Jos, Plateau State on Tuesday experienced a low turnout.
The rally was held at the Rwang Pam township stadium in Jos, the capital with many of the stands empty even at scheduled kickoff time.
Reports say the stadium remained largely empty as at 1:00pm for the rally billed for kickoff at 10:00am.
Despite the stage being set up early enough, many supporters of the main opposition party and residents were not in attendance.
Party loyalists, however, were seen at the stadium waiting for the arrival of the presidential candidate of the party, Atiku Abubakar.
This is not the first time, PDP would experience a low turnout at their presidential campaign rally.
On Monday, December 5, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) held its presidential campaign in Lagos State ahead of the 2023 general elections.
The main opposition party is seeking support for its presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar and his running mate, Ifeanyi Okowa (Delta State Governor).
Lagos State is an important state a presidential candidate is expected to win during the election to gain victory over other candidates.
The state is seen as a stronghold of the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Tinubu, who happened to have served as a Governor in the state at a time.
To the surprise of Nigerians on Monday, the campaign which was held at the Tafawa Balewa Square, Lagos, had few followers of the party in attendance.
