However, in a situation like this, there are pretenders and contenders. The flag-bearers of the political parties will emerge after primaries, where aspirants will test their popularity.
After the primaries of the three political parties: APGA, APC and PDP, expectations are that there would be political realignment as those who could not pick the ticket may jump ship to actualise their dreams.
While some are seen as serious contenders others are said to be trying the murky waters and would most likely bow out as the contest gets tougher.
PDP
By the deadline of official expression of interest for aspirants in the PDP, 16 persons had picked forms and have been screened by the National Working Committee (NWC) of the party in Abuja; and the result is being awaited. Each of the male aspirants paid N27million while the three females paid N6million.
