Why Ondo PDP presidential campaign didn’t hold, by Mimiko

Governor Olusegun Mimiko of Ondo State has explained that the presidential campaign of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) scheduled to hold in the state on Wednesday was postponed due to official engagement by President Goodluck Jonathan.
The governor, who spoke through the Commissioner for Information, Mr Kayode Akinmade, said the President rescheduled his campaign in Ondo State not for political reasons but to attend to other important national issues.
According to him, Jonathan had a crucial meeting with some world leaders in Abuja, including former Secretary General of the United Nations (UN), Dr Kofi Annan, hence the postponement of the campaign in the state.
The PDP presidential campaign had initially scheduled the party’s presidential campaign in Ondo State for Wednesday but cancelled it less than 24 hours to the programme.
Mimiko, who is also the South-West Co-Ordinator of the Jonathan Campaign Organisation, hinted that a new date would soon be announced for the campaign in the state.
He ruled out politics from the postponement and urged admirers of Jonathan and members of the PDP in the state to remain steadfast.
The governor also assured that the people of the state would support Jonathan’s second term ambition, just as he stressed that the people of Ondo State are solidly behind the Jonathan administration.
