hold in Damaturu, Yobe State has been cancelled.
Gen. Muhammadu Buhari of the All Progressives Congress, APC, also
cancelled his scheduled campaign trip to Maiduguri for undisclosed
reasons without making his new date for the trip public.
The rally which was supposed to hold after a similar meeting in Gombe
was however called off at the last minute.
Though no reason was given for the cancellation,Vanguardgathered that
the rally was shelved due to unfavourable security report about the
proposed rally.
An advanced team of the president's campaign delegation was already in
Damaturu for the rally before they were informed that it had been
shelved.
Yobe, which shares border with Borno State, is the birth place of the
late leader of the Boko Haram sect, Ibrahim Yusuf, who was killed in
2009.
Jonathan's campaign train had come under increasing attacks from
hoodlums in the northern parts of the country, with his convoy being
pelted with sachet water and stones in Bauchi.
