Nigerian presidential candidates

This Day has published a PDF chart identifying and profiling the main presidential candidates in Nigeria.

You can download it from their web site.

Most people expect President Jonathan, the PDP candidate, to win the election going away, but that depends upon the PDP losers staying with the party.

Nigeria's Presidential Gladiators
The picture is getting clearer - four front runners have emerged in the race for presidency, although there are more candidates representing the smaller parties. President Goodluck Jonathan is carrying the flag of the ruling party, PDP, after defeating Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, while Mallam Nuhu Ribadu has been picked as the consensus candidate of ACN. Maj. Gen. Muhammadu Buhari of the CPC also emerged as the consensus candidate of his party ahead of the April 9 presidential election. Mallam Ibrahim Shekarau, governor of Kano State, also defeated other aspirants to the ANPP ticket.
