ONDO State governor, Dr Olusegun Mimiko, has explained reason the presidential campaign of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), scheduled to hold in the state on Tuesday, was postponed.
This, he said, was due to official engagement by President Goodluck Jonathan.
The governor, who spoke through the state Commissioner for Information, Mr Kayode Akinmade, said the president rescheduled his campaign in the state, not for political reasons, but to attend to other important national issues.According to him, President 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.
The PDP presidential campaign had initially scheduled the party's presidential campaign in Ondo State for Tuesday, but cancelled it less than 24 hours to the programme.
Governor Mimiko, who is also the South West coordinator of the Jonathan Campaign Organisation, hinted that a new date would soon be announced for the president's 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 President Jonathan's second term ambition, just as he stressed that the people of Ondo were solidly behind the Jonathan-led administration.
