Patience Jonathan And Supporters Shut Down Abuja With President Jonathan's Re-Election Rally

The Nigerian women under the auspices of Nigerian Council of Women Society (NCWS) today organized a mass rally in support of the President Goodluck Jonathan towards the 2015 general election.
The city of Abuja was shut down as business activities were grounded to a halt due the blockage of routes by security agencies.

All roads from Berger Junction, Central Business Area, and Secretariat were blocked for the rally, which led to the traffic snarl in the city.

Reports say the rally was funded by the first lady and several ministers as well as some state governors loyal to the president. To cap the activities of the day an elaborate dinner party is slated for the International Conference Centre tonight.

The event will also feature performances by popular musical artistes including Onyeka Onwenu, Yinka Ayefele, Iyanya, Sani Danja and several Nigerian comedians.
