Lamido spoke yesterday in Dutse while fielding questions from newsmen shortly after the PDP state caucus meeting, saying that as I am talking to you right now there is no official letter from the presidency or president himself appointing me as his campaign coordinator or what so ever.

He further explained that, ‘’as you heard it, so I did but nobody has contacted me. As far as I am concerned I am not appointed into the position of Jonathan Campaign Coordinator at any level either through the party or by the president.

“I am not President Jonathan’s Campaign Coordinator. I saw it on the pages of newspapers; this does not mean I was appointed since nobody contacted me personally or officially.”

However, speaking on why President Jonathan posters were not seen on the party’s campaign vehicles, the acting Chairman of the PDP in state, who is also the Vice Chairman, Jigawa Central Council, Alhaji Aminu Jahun said, every candidate had his campaign strategy and committee.
