Barely days to the round of elections in Nigeria, the number of candidates who will eventually be up to be voted for appear to be depleting.
At a town hall meeting in Lagos, south west Nigeria, the presidential candidate for the Social Democratic Mega Party, Professor Pat Utomi, has officially withdrawn from the race.
Following his action, Professor Utomi says in the greater interest of Nigeria, he will be endorsing Mallam Ibrahim Shekarau as a man who can better actualize his ideals.
