All eyes are fixated on the main opposition party, the All Progressives Congress, APC, as it holds its national convention between today and tomorrow in Lagos to elect its presidential candidate for the February 14,

Five political juggernauts are jostling to pick the opposition party’s presidential ticket.

They are: former Head of State, Maj. Gen. Muhammadu Buhari; former Vice President Atiku Abubakar; Kano and Imo states governors, Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso and Owelle Rochas Okorocha respectively and a newspaper publisher, Sam Nda-Isaiah.

Political analysts were not ready yesterday to predict who wins but one of the northern candidates – Buhari, Atiku and Kwankwaso – is expected to emerge.
Buhari has aspired for the office thrice in 2003, 2007 and 2011 on the platform of the defunct All Nigeria peoples Party, ANPP, and Congress for Progressive Change, CPC, which are part of the legacy parties that became APC.

In all three previous attempts, he had emerged first runner up to former President Olusegun Obasanjo, late President Umaru Musa Yar’Adua and incumbent President Goodluck Jonathan.

Former Vice President Abubakar is also not new to the race as he contested for the presidency in 2007 under the platform of then Action Congress, AC. He also contested for the PDP ticket with Jonathan, in 2011.

Also, Okorocha has been in the race for the Presidency, traversing different political parties including PDP, the defunct All Peoples Party, APP, Action Alliance, AA, APGA and now APC.

Winner of the APC primaries is expected to slug it out with incumbent President Jonathan, who is the sole presidential candidate of the ruling PDP in the February 14, 2015 presidential election.
