As Nigeria gears up for the 2015 General Elections, some people have
been declaring their interest in running for political offices. One of
such people who has been generating some controversy is former Vice
President of Nigeria, Atiku Abubakar.
He confirmed yesterday that he will present himself in the next
presidential election under the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), saying
his rumoured interest in the race should not be a surprise to Nigerians.
He told Tribune
that his ambition to rule Nigeria will depend on a number of factors
which he was yet to disclose, and dismissed rumours that he was planning
to run for the position with Bola Tinubu.
In April, Major-General Muham-madu Buhari who lost
the Presidential race last year under the Congress for Progressive
Change (CPC) said he will still contest in the next elections. Still on
the Presidency, there are some speculations that the former Minister of
Federal Capital Territory, Mallam Nasir el-Rufa’i will run for the next Presidential elections.
What do you think about Atiku’s declaration to run for the
Presidential elections in 2015? If you were to take a wide guess,
looking even beyond those that have indicated interest in running for
the position, who would you want to be the next President of Nigeria?
