PDP and APP to hold conventions

Nigeria’s largest party, the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) and the Alliance for Democracy (AD) are both holding conventions this weekend to nominate their presidential candidates. According to AFP, most attention is likely to focus on the two-day PDP convention due to the growing rivalry between two of their front-runner candidates, former military ruler Olusegun Obasanjo and former vice-presidential candidate Alex Ekwueme.
