The Presidential Contest
In the presidential contest, it is a straight contest between incumbent Muhammadu Buhari of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) and his primary challenger Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). This will not be the first time Buhari, 76, and Atiku, 72, have faced one another. Both men contested the 2007 presidential elections, coming a distant second and third behind the PDP's Umaru Yar'Adua.

In addition to the two leading candidates, Kingsley Moghalu and Omoyele Sowore are also expected to make a noticeable impact.
