The governor was reported to have confided in some members of his circle about his frustration with Atiku’s refusal to release funds for his campaign in the state.
Source disclosed that though the PDP is the ruling party in the state, Atiku is not popular among the people, which was why Governor Udom is planning to start campaigning early.
The source’s statement reads in part:
