Barely about 15 months to go for next most talk general election for our great nation nigeria. It occur that the great race for 2015, as just begun in our various political parties in the nation shopping for candidates to fly their flag at the presidential candidates for next election.

Likely in December this year parties will announced their parties flag bearers. The search for challenge for next candidates that will push out the incumber and present nigeria head of state President Gudluck Ebele Jonathan, who is likely to be next president under leading People’s Democratic parties (PDP).

But today review will based on newly merger party and big opposition to the ruling parties All Progressives Congress (APC). The parties is lead by Bisi Akande and Former Governor of the Lagos State Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

Articulating some of their strengths and weaknesses, Gistyinka Blog Observer unveils APC’s likely presidential aspirants for 2015…

Senator Ahmad Sani Yerima

AHMAD SANI YERIMA

Senator Ahmad Sani Yerima, is minority leader in nigeria upper house, He had openly show is interest to run for the post of the presidency in the nation but nigeria people will not forget his infamous for his penchant for marrying under-aged girls and religious fanatism.

He is first nigeria governor that will sign the Sharia law in his state (Zamfara) in 2000 while serve the state from 1999-2007 and later run for the post of senate where he eventually won. For me i don’t think APC, will risk him for presidency.

ALIYU WAMMAKO

ALIYU WAMMAKO

Aliyu Magatakarda Wammako, is presently governor of Sokoto State and he was among the defected G-5 Governors that leave PDP for APC about few months ago.

Aliyu Wammako, plan is to change the leadership of this nation. His own issue once again lies that he can work for any Northern presidential candidate to the detriment of the party that brought him to power, that is PDP.

AMINU TAMBUWAL

AMINU TAMBUWAL

Since day one in House of Representatives Hon. Aminu Waziri Tambuwal , as being romanced with APC. The parties even help him to be leaders of the nigeria second upper house while he still PDP Member.

A lawyer by profession, Tambuwal, 48, is married.  And has four children. With crisis rocking the PDP now, If accidentally Hon. Aminu Waziri Tambuwal, decamp to APC today, many Nigerians would be rooting for his nomination for the Presidency.

MUHAMMADU BUHARI

MUHAMMADU BUHARI

Former Head of State, Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (retd), is not new to many nigeria. He as contested for the post of nigeria presidency 3 times, First (2003)  and Second (2007) under (ANPP) while his last his through his own founded party then Congress for Progressive Change (CPC) in 20011.

A chieftain of the opposition APC, the septuagenarian is visibly the most qualified to fly the party’s flag, given his experience in the race since 2003.

Recently now he as more relationship with Christian than his past.  Born on December 17, 1942, in Daura, Katsina.

NASIR EL-RUFAI

NUHU RIBADU

NUHU RIBADU

Mallam Nuhu Ribadu, is another big candidate for the presidential post but his poor outing in last general election in 2011 will be his weakness .

He raised to the ranked of Assistant Inspector General of Police and later demoted to ranked of Deputy Commissioner of Police on August 4, 2008, because he did not go to any police military school.
