All eyes are on the leading aspirants in the Peoples Democratic Party’s presidential primary the party has finally begun the exercise in Abuja.
Before now, many believe Atiku Abubakar has the biggest chance, but various permutations do not make this automatic.
Among such borders on power rotation between the North and the South.
Although the party has jettisoned zoning, many believe the idea is still a factor especially in relation to what the rival All Progressives Congress could do.
Besides, Rivers State Governor, Nyeson Wike, appears to have fought his way into reckoning, with a suggestively huge financial base as an Atiku can muster.
Yet, in the race are Bukola Saraki and Bauchi State Governor, Bala Mohammed, as well as his Sokoto State counterpart whom many believe may also spring a surprise.
