Atiku Abubakar (a former vice-present of Nigeria and a former presidential candidate)

Abubakar was the second elected vice president of Nigeria from 1999 to 2007, on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) under the administration of former President Olusegun Obasanjo.

The former vice president left PDP to join the All Progressives Congress (APC) on February 2, 2014. There are reports that Atiku will be seeking to contest for the Nigerian presidency in 2019, on the party's platform.

This would be making it his fourth attempt as he had contested for presidency 3 times in 1992, 2006 and 2011.
