A frontline presidential aspirant, former Vice President, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar is not present at the extraordinary convention where the All Progressives Congress (APC) is to approve its amended constitution and adopt its revised six point manifesto.
According to Daily Post, the convention may not have anything to do with its planned primaries slated for first week of December, 2014, but one of the major aspects of the convention was the address made by presidential aspirants of the party at the convention.
While the former VP was conspicuously missing at the convention, other aspirants like Gen. Mohammadu Buhari, Gov. Rochas Okorocha, Gov. Rabiu Kwankwaso and Leadership Newspaper publisher, Nda Isaiah addressed the convention.
It is beig rumoured that the former Vice President may be leaving the party for the Peoples Democratic Movement, PDM to actualize his presidential ambition. The Atiku media has however denied the report. His absence has again led to the question as to whether he is still considering other options, the Daily Post reports.
