I pray that God grants you wisdom that is required if you scale through.HE who made it possible for you to reside in a society with transparent democracy should grant you wisdom to play transparent politics.
If you get there,consider yourself as an agent of change rather than a participant in the status quo.Don't start with trying to recover the lost money of 2003!!
Remember Abraham Lincoln?Well,he wasn't just loosing those elections before eventually clinching victory.He was also loosing hard earned money,precious time and many more.In the end,he contributed seriously to what turned out to be the best model of presidential system of democracy.
In your part of Nigeria,AC might not be the grass-root party but if you are a grass-root candidate,you would get there.I am saying that it is God that makes it all possible.Stay focused because this one is not like rehearsing a script(Just kidding)
Wish you the best
