President Goodluck Jonathan has arrived Damaturu, capital of Yobe state, for the presidential campaign of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
On Wednesday, TheCable had reported that the president would visit the state to solicit votes ahead of the March 28 presidential election.
A source has now confirmed to TheCable that the president arrived the state at about 12:30pm on Thursday in an helicopter, “accompanied by six people” led by Uche Secondus, deputy chairman of the party.
Jonathan would be at the Damaturu township stadium, venue of the rally, after paying homage to the traditional ruler of the town.

Yobe, which shares border with Borno, is the only state that Jonathan has not visited since he flagged off his current electioneering campaign.
An earlier rally scheduled for February 2 was cancelled over fears of insecurity.
