As alliance talk between the Action Congress of Nigeria and the Congress for Progressive Change breaks down, the ACN national chairman, Bisi Akande has announced that it's presidential candidate, Nuhu Ribadu will contest Saturday's election.
Mr. Akande said in a press statement today that though discussions were held between the two parties to explore opportunities of coming together to fight the presidential of the Peoples Democratic Party, Goodluck Jonathan, such talks have not led to any alliance.
"We as a party that believes in democratic values have therefore decided that in the overall interest of the parties involved, our democracy as well as our country, it is better for each of the parties to go into the presidential election on its own platform," Mr Akande said.
He however did not rule out the possibility that talks will resume if the presidential election ended without a clear winner, thus requiring a run off.
