What about the announcement of the general election and Elder Orubebe Godsday

nice one

Honestly, the biggest event was the victory of APC over PDP in the March 28 poll.

The most memorable was the Orubebe-Jega drama

The most painful was the discovery of over $2billion looting by Santa Dasuki and friends and the re-looting of Abacha's loot.

The most funny was Amaechi's statement of "I have never taken bribe before"

The most controversial was "I don't sign cheque" by Fashola.

The most confused moment was the event after the death of Abubakar Audu.

The most embarrassed politician in 2015 was Bukola Saraki. The most mocked is Diezani Alison
