Former Head of State, General
Mohammadu Buhari has won the presidential primary election of the All
Progressives Congress, APC.
He polled 3,430 votes to get the
ticket.
His votes outnumbered those of Kano
State governor, Dr Rabiu Kwankwanso and former Vice President Atiku Abubakar
who got 974 and 954 votes respectively.
Sam Nda-Isaiah scored 10 votes.
The implication of this victory is
that the former Head of State would square up again with President Goodluck
Jonathan of the ruling Peoples Democratic Party, PDP in the 2015 presidential
election scheduled to hold on February 14, 2015.
This would be the second time in a
row both political gladiators are meeting at the polls.
The first time was in 2011 when
Buhari ran on the platform of the Congress for Progressive Change, CPC.
But he was defeated by Jonathan
despite polling about 12 million votes.
