1. Atiku Abubakar
The former vice president of Nigeria between 1999 and 2007, still has his eyes on the presidency seat. He started his journey since the early 1990s, but has been failing ever since then. Time will tell if he will not bounce back in 2019.
2. Abubakar Bukola Saraki
The Senate president still has the intention of leading Nigeria. He tested the waters in 2011, but failed. He is currently facing charges of illegally acquiring properties, while he governed Kwara state.
- Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso
The former governor of Kano and Minister of Defense is not having it easy presently, because he is having some differences with his successor in Kano state. He was accused of trying to pull off the rug from the feet of President Muhammadu Buhari. He is now a senator at the upper chambers.
4. Nasir El-Rufai El-Rufai
Has one major political enemy in the person of Senator Shehu Sani. Sani said the governor has inordinate ambition regarding trying to scheme his way to the top hierarchy of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
5. Sule Lamido
He was charged with an allegation of stealing money along with his son, and was charged to court the EFCC, along with his a few months ago. The former two-term governor of Jigawa state, may throw his hat into the ring, come 2019.
6. Aliyu Wammako
The current senator and former governor of Sokoto state is a formidable force in the Northern politics. Anything is possible with Wammako in 2019. He was said to have performed and delivered dividends of democracy while he governed Sokoto.
7. Aminu Waziri Tambuwal
The former Speaker of the House of Representatives, was said to have betrayed the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), before he moved to the APC. He is currently the governor of Sokoto. Some political watchers believe, he may be anointed, in case the president does not seek a second term.
