Barely two weeks to the general elections, political gladiators are seriuosly canvassing for their die-minutes campaign to woo prospective supporters to their wing, not leaving out hate comments that is becoming the trend of Nigeria nascent democracy. Recently, in a rally at Onikan stadium Lagos, held by the All Progrevisse Congress in honour of Igbo residents in Lagos, the National leader of the (APC), Bola Tinubu, revealed that he was instrumental to the victory of President Goodluck Jonathan in the 2011 general elections.
He outlined stepps taken few day to the 2011 general elections, and efforts make by his party the former Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) against the interest of the party and their party presidential flag bearer, Mr. Nhuhu Ribadu, to ensure the president, being fresh air candidate as he preached delivers to them the dividend of democracy, expected of a true nationalist. 
His words: “In 2011, I helped Jonathan become President because he made us believe he was a breath of fresh air. I didn’t say be¬cause he was from Bayelsa that I would not help him. We voted for him because he promised to make our lives better. But now, he has failed us.”
He called on the Igbo liv¬ing in Lagos to support the APC to continue reaping the dividends of democ-racy. He urged them not to allow politics of tribe and religion to influence their decision at the polls.

A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress  in Delta State, Dr. Alex Ideh, Sunday, has described the reign of president Goodluck Jonathan as a disaster to the nation and total failure to their ethnic group.
The APC stalwart and leader of the Itsekiri nation, in a statement made available to newsmen, said people of the region and other geo-political zones in the country would henceforth have to rethink and cast their votes en masse for the APC presidential candidate, Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), in the election scheduled for next week.
Ideh said the recent return of Buhari from the United Kingdom had put an end to the lull in the political space and served as a reassurance of the candidate’s ability to garner Itsekiri votes for the APC in Delta State.
