ENGLISH TRANSLATION

In Nigeria, the final day of election is coming up on Saturday, eleventh day of April, Two thousand and fifteen, to elect Governors and State Legislators in thirty-six States.

Nigerians are grateful that people trooped out last month to cast their votes to elect the President, Senators and Federal Legislators without serious violence as people feared it would be. Federal Government is not as close to the grass root like the Governors and the State Legislators hence, one of the Yoruba adage meaning “The race is not for the swift” is being used to encourage people to come out massively to cast their votes so that the people can enjoy the benefits of Democracy.
