President Jonathan's visit to Ekiti state has been cancealed as a result of the Ekiti state Government's decision that President Goodluck Jonathan will not be allowed into the Oluyemi Kayode Stadium. 

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) wanted to use the planned visit of President Goodluck Jonathan to state to flag off of the campaign of its gubernatorial candidate, Mr. Ayodele Fayose. The PDP wrote the Ekiti Government on March 28, 2014 for the use of stadium for the President's visit to the state. Regrettably, Ekiti government replied on April 2 through a letter signed by one Mr P.O. Dada of the Sports Council, refusing them the right to use the stadium. 

The Director General, Ayo Fayose Campaign Organisation, Chief Dipo Anisulowo expressed suprise over the desicion to block the President of Nigeria from using a public facility in a state in Nigeria because of Politics. Chief Anisulowo said, “we are now expecting another date from Mr. President, while the Governorship campaign flag off will be on the hold.” He concluded that PDP might not have any other option than to use Federal Highway for the campaign. - Hope For Nigeria.
