PDP woman politician loses N300, 000 as Jonathan flags off campaign



A PDP female politician cried openly in Lagos Island area of Lagos State yesterday after unknown person(s) stole N300, 000 belonging to PDP supporters.

The woman, Mama Bolanle, was said to have led a team of other politicians who traveled from their state to Lagos to witness the flag- off of PDP campaign for the 2015 general election which took place at the Tafawa Balewa Square.
It was learnt that the money was meant for sharing among the politicians that traveled because of the event.
An eyewitness, Shola said that the politicians came in a coaster bus and parked at Broad Street.   
Shola said: "When the vehicle arrived the scene, some of the politicians, including the woman, alighted and went to the venue of the event, while few remained in the vehicle. Some of those who did not alight at the time of arrival, disembarked gradually from the vehicle either to eat or buy some other things around. The woman came back about two hours later to unzip the bag where she kept the money and discovered it was gone. She screamed. There was accusation and counter- accusation but an elderly man in their midst appealed to them not to quarrel or fight over the matter. The old man said they would talk about it later and decide on what to do. The man said that the money was stolen by one of them and must be produced."
