Before the last general elections held in April 2011, those in the showbiz industry in Nigeria mobilized for and endorsed President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan as Nigeria's next President after the death of President Yar'adua. President Jonathan gained the sympathy of many Nigerians based on how he rose to power, especially from a poor background. In one of his pre-election campaigns, one of Mohits members, D Banj, interviewed the President who was then an acting president. That development gave birth to insinuations that D Banj and Mohits crew were paid for their support for the President. The recent removal of the hotly debated fuel subsidy by the President on New Year's day has brought about tongue-lashing on President Jonathan by the masses and some Nigerian celebrities. One of such is the boss of Mohits crew, Michael Elebeli Collins, who is well known as Don Jazzy, he said, "I hardly regret decisions I make. That my one vote added to put the current government in power is one decision I regret with all my heart."
