Leading presidential hopefuls, President Goodluck Jonathan and Muhammadu Buhari, may not be campaigning in Damaturu, just yet.
The presidential rally of the Peoples Democratic Party, billed to hold in Damaturu, Yobe state has been cancelled, while the campaign visit of the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Muhammadu Buhari, has also been cancelled.
Neither of the parties gave reasons for the cancelletaion, it is believed that the move became nevessary as a result of the unfavourable security report about the proposed rally.
An advanced team of the president’s campaign delegation had already arrived in Damaturu for the rally before they were notified that it had been cancelled.
In some northern states, the campaign train of Jonathan, has been repeatedly attacked by political thugs and hoodlums, with his convoy being pelted with sachet water and stones in Bauchi.
