Major-General Muhammadu Buhari; former vice president, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar and Governor Musa Kwankwaso have each obtained the presidential nomination forms of the APC, preparatory to its national convention, which may be attended by 10,000 delegates.
Before now, the adoption of the modified direct primaries by party’s National Executive Committee (NEC) had elicited mixed feelings within the camps of the leading contestants for the ticket.
Apart from the governors of three of the APC aspirants in the North, virtually all the other governors of the party had already queued behind Buhari.
Accordingly, some of the northern leaders had made tactical approach to one of the aspirants on the possibility of his stepping down, so as to brighten the chances of another considered as capable of leading the party through the election.
