Following a recent meeting held in Lagos by the leaders of both parties [CPC and ACN] of which the former Governor of Lagos State, Bola Tinubu and the former military dictator of Nigeria, Gen Buhari were in attendance, the parties agreed in principle for the two parties to forge a common front to produce the same candidate for the Presidential elections of 2015 to topple the candidate of the ruling party.

Meanwhile, independent inquiry by 247ureports.com reveals that the two parties are presently experiencing a quiet lockjam on who to present as the presidential flag bearer 2015. It was gathered that stakeholders within the CPC are uneasy with the professed candidacy of Gen Buhari. In particular, the stakeholders within the CPC are said to prefer a younger more socially accepted candidate for the party. Some within the party point to the likely candidacy of the former Minister to the Federal Capital Territory [FCT] Abuja, Malam Nasiru El Rufai. The stakeholders within the ACN are also uneasy with the candidacy of Gen Buhari. One of the stakeholders who spoke to our correspondent noted that it will be preferable if the former dictator to play the role of a “godfather” to produce the next leader rather than imposing his candidacy on the party. “He is not popular outside the north and will not win”
The popular notion among the stakeholders in the two parties point to the candidacy of the current Lagos State [ACN] Governor, Fashola as presidential candidate in tandem with Malam Nasiru El Rufai as running mate.
