The National leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Bola Tinubu, has alleged that a former president, Olusegun Obasanjo, as the greatest election rigger in the country.

Tinubu made the allegation on Saturday, February 9, when speaking to supporters at APC presidential rally which held in Teslim Balogun stadium.

He said Olusegun Obasanjo was the one who presided over the electoral process that brought Yar'Adua into power.

Tinubu urged the people to vote massively for the APC in the general elections, noting that the PDP had nothing to offcer having failed the country during its 16-years rule.

The APC leader also educated voters on how to cast their ballots, urging them to refrain from using their thumbs in voting to avoid void votes because spaces on the ballot papers where small. He urged them to use their index fingers in voting.

Meanwhile, with about seven days to the Nigerian presidential election, the leadership of 'Igbo Delegate Assembly' has thrown its weight behind the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar.

The endorsement by the Assembly is coming barely one week after Ohaneze Nd'Igbo, a Pan socio-cultural group in southeast Nigeria, adopted Atiku as candidate of the region in the forthcoming presidential election.

In a decision which followed a stakeholder's meeting in Abuja on Thursday, February 7, the Igbo Assembly, released its communiqué, affirming its support of the Nnia Nwodo-led Ohanaeze Ndigbo and its endorsement of Abubakar, as the Presidential ticket of choice for Ndigbo.
