A chieftain of the party, however, told Daily Trust that lack of funding was responsible for the delay in the commencement of the exercise.
“Funding is the main reason why the exercise has not commenced in Abuja. You know, we don’t have a governor, the FCT senator is a PDP member and the area council chairmen are battling to run the affairs of their councils.
“Here, the minister is the leader but he is not a core politician, hence no fund is provided.
“Stakeholders are now struggling to raise funds for it. Apart from the minister, nobody has revalidated or registered in Abuja. We are anxious and awaiting the commencement of the registration,” he said, pleading not to be named.
