Societynow.ng confirmed that entertainers that performed at the flag off campaigns for People’s Democratic Party’s gubernatorial candidate in Kwara state, Razak Atunwa and the re-election bid of Senate President Bukola Saraki are yet to be paid.

This is weeks after the ceremony which was heavily pushed on social media platforms and traditional media by the handlers and supporters of the candidate.

Information available to societynow.ng revealed that the affected entertainers are primarily A-list acts based in Kwara state led by Adisa Owala.

Owala is a frontline fuji musician in the state which is the political base of Senate President Bukola Saraki.

Atunwa, the People’s Democratic Party’s gubernatorial candidate emerged through the political machination of Saraki – the leader of the party in the state.

Societynow.ng confirmed that the agreed performance fee for the flag off campaigns for each act was about N2million, after the last minute slash of the initial offer of about N5million.

‘’Even at that, the payment remains outstanding since the campaign held on January 8’’ societynow.ng learned.

The added investigation conducted by societynow.ng revealed that the development has sparked off growing talks of a paucity of funds troubling the campaigns of the candidates.

‘’The talks are actually that the campaigns are suffering from the inability to access funds ravaging the PDP at the national level in the bid to rally support for the presidential campaign of Atiku Abubakar’’ an insider provided better insight.

Interestingly the political event which has resulted in entertainers fees unpaid also served as the flag off of the presidential campaign of Atiku Abubarka – and other party candidates – in Kwara state.

The event which reportedly attracted a high influx of supporters was staged at the premises of Pilot Primary School, Bode -Saadu, the headquarters of Moro Local Government Area of the state
