Profile Of Nigerian Presidential Candidates by PrinceWhite5: 10:50pm On Aug 19, 2022
Have you been searching for the profile of Nigerian Presidential candidates?

Keep reading, at the end of this post you will get to know the profile of Nigerian Presidential candidates.

I will focus on the All Progressive Congress(APC), Peoples Democratic Party(PDP), Labour Party(LP), and New Nigerian Peoples Party(NNPP).   

The major political parties in Nigeria have elected their presidential candidates that will contest in the 2023 general elections.

Most Nigerians are not familiar with the details of the presidential candidates, that is why I will be updating such people with the profile of the Nigerian presidential candidates.

Nigeria is in need of transformation due to the situation in the country. The need to solve the problem of insecurity, unemployment, economic backwardness, closure of Universities, poverty, and separatist agitations to mention but a few stir Nigerians in the face.

Therefore as Nigerians, it is necessary to know the credentials of all the presidential candidates that will be contesting in the general election, as this will guide you to vote for the right person.

On this note, I urge all Nigerians to do away with vote selling come 2023 because the mistakes made during the voting process will come back to stir us in the face.

It is also a right for every Nigerian from the ages of 18 years and above to have a Pamernent Voters Card(PVC).

Therefore endeavor to locate a voter registration center near you to get your PVC before the deadline given by Independent National Electoral Commission(INEC) will elapse.

INEC has indefinitely extended the deadline for the Pamernent Voters Card registration across the country to enable a greater percentage of Nigerians to get their PVCs.

Note that I am limiting this post to the profile of Nigerian presidential candidates in major political parties(APC, PDP, LP, and NNPP).

The following persons are recognized by INEC as the flagbearer of their political parties for the 2023 Presidential election:

Bola Ahmed Adekunle Tinubu - All Progressive Congress(APC)
Alhaji Atiku Abubakar -Peoples Democratic Party(PDP)
Mr. Peter Gregory Obi - Labour Party(LP)
Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso - New Nigeria Peoples Party(NNPP)

Below is the Profile of Nigerian Presidential candidates of APC, PDP, LP, and NNPP respectively:
