As the 2019 general election draws near, political parties and their candidates have begun to sharpen their tools and all that is necessary to ensure victory at the polls. This election, is already looking like the most interesting one yet, both new and seasoned politicians are all gearing up to make a mark in Nigeria’s political history.

With the mass defections from the All Progressives Congress(APC) by politicians gunning for the seat of the president, and knowing the party has reserved the slot for the incumbent, President Muhammadu Buhari – Hence the shift to the Peoples Democratic Party(PDP), in order for them to clinch their dream position.

This shift, has made the choice for who will represent the PDP in next year’s presidential election a tough one. The consultations have begun, as candidates have met/and continue meeting with regions and persons that they know will play a vital role in actualising their presidential dream.
