Nigeria - According to a report by Punch, President Goodluck Jonathan has rained heavy drops of Dollars on South-West obas in a bid to seek their goodwill in the forthcoming general elections.
Following INEC's postponement of the general elections, Jonathan had been touring the South-West, reports say.
Analysts also said South-West voters might determine the outcome of the presidential election. As a result, the All Progressives Congress and the PDP are making strenuous efforts to win the votes of the region.
The traditional ruler of a prominent South-West ancient city, which the President visited was said to have been given $250,000 (N50m) while other traditional chiefs were given $10, 000 (N2.2m).
The windfall from the President is not limited to traditional rulers alone as groups and individuals have also benefitted hugely from it.
The groups, which included market women, students, professional and ethnic groups made between $5,000 and $100,000 in Lagos. All the groups that visited Jonathan at the State House, Marina, went home richer.
