However, his candidature to run for the presidency in April this year on the ACN platform was ratified through a voice vote by the party delegates. Ribadu, while accepting the mandate, said the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) will certainly vacate Aso Rock come May, 29, 2011.

He said with his ticket, it’s obvious the PDP’s days are numbered at the presidency. “PDP is a party that good people and democracy has departed.” He promised that if voted into power, he’ll work with the fear of God, humility and respect, adding that his government will fight poverty and define the future of Nigeria. I will not disappoint Nigeria,” he vowed.

General Muhammadu Buhari’s CPC was well-represented. Though it is still unclear how the alliance between the ACN and the CPC will play out considering that Ribadu is unlikely to step down for Buhari.
