APC Presidential Ticket: Party Divided Between Buhari And Atiku

 

As the primaries of the All Progressives Congress draws closer, there are indications that the governors and leaders of the party are becoming divided over which of the aspirants will be in a better position to defeat President Goodluck Jonathan of the Peoples’ Democratic Party next year.

The two major APC presidential aspirants are former Head of State, Maj.-Gen. Muhammadu Buhari and former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar, though Kano State Governor, Dr. Rabiu Kwankwaso, is also interested in the APC ticket.
Atiku declared his interest on September 24, and he later picked presidential nomination form at the All Progressives Congress (APC) national headquarters in Abuja.
According to Punch investigations, the APC National Leader, Asiwaju Ahmed Tinubu is rooting for Buhari who declared his intention to contest for presidency on October 15. Buhari’s declaration in Abuja was attended by Lagos State Governor, Mr. Babatunde Fashola; Rivers State Governor, Mr. Rotimi Amaechi; and Tinubu’s wife, Senator Oluremi.
