4 groups battle for control of party
If a daring plan by a powerful clique in the All Progressives Congress (APC) materialises, a Muslim from the South (names witheld) may emerge as the party’s presidential candidate in the 2015 presidential election, with a Northern Christian as his running mate.

Already, four broad groups have emerged in the party with schemes on how to choose its presidential candidate and where the person should come from.
A key leader of the party told Saturday Tribune that “the groups are, one, those angling for a Muslim/Muslim ticket, with General Muhammadu Buhari and Senator Bola Tinubu as the focus; two, those opposed to the Muslim/Muslim idea but believe in a Muslim North/Muslim South ticket; and the third group working on a moderate Northern Muslim candidate with a ‘moderate’ Southern Christian as running mate. This group focuses on Alhaji Atiku Abubakar and Rivers State governor, Rotimi Amaechi.
