Alaba Boys Endorse President Jonathan Too. [chaiii].

Well, it is a season of political endorsement as several entertainers and showbiz stars keep coming out to declare their support for one candidate or the other as 2015 general elections billed for this month draw closer.

Now, members of the Alaba Promoters Association have also come together to make their support for the re-election bid of Goodluck Jonathan known. The association is the biggest platform for established and fast rising artistes to showcase their music and videos on Mix CDs sold nationwide and according to them, they are endorsing Jonathan because of his great performance in office.

A ranking member of the association, simply known as Kelly or the Moving Train, says: 'Whenever I went for business around Ikeja from Alaba, the Apapa-OShodi road was a nightmare. Today, the road is fully rebuilt from Mile 2 to Oshodi and I travel on that road under 10mins as against 3-5hours before.'

For Uche aka Person Entertainment, 'going to Eastern parts of Nigeria like Ogoja in Cross River for business took almost 3 days by road. Now, I spend less than 16 hours. Ore – Benin is perfect. The East – west Road is one of the best roads ever and is nearing completion. And when the Lagos to Ibadan express road is complete, it would directly impact on my business.'

Another trader at the popular Alaba market, Nicholas (Nicky Entertainment) thanks the President for the Enugu International Airport, the first in the Eastern part of Nigeria. According to him, 'it has made business and travel extremely comfortable and cheaper. They all excitedly mentioned the massive support the GEJ administration has given to entertainment industry and the N3billion loan just announced for distribution of entertainment product.'

The endorsement coalition, which many think is a sponsored group, was put together by Wale Kuku, a popular entertainment mogul at Alaba.
