The People’s Democratic Party (PDP) has challenged the All Progressives Congress (APC) to a national debate ahead of the general elections in 2015.

Both parties will be holding their national conventions, where the candidates that will vie for the position of president in the 2015 elections will emerge.

The APC will hold its convention and presidential primaries at the Teslim Balogun Stadium, Surulere, Lagos State.

The five presidential aspirants are former Head of State, Muhammadu Buhari, ex-Vice President, Atiku Abubakar, Governors of Kano and Imo States, Rabiu Kwankwaso and Rochas Okorocha respectively, and the Publisher of Leadership Newspaper, Sam Nda-Isaiah.

Meanwhile, 3073 delegates of the PDP are expected to convene at the Eagle Square, Abuja, for the party’s national convention to ratify President Goodluck Jonathan’s adoption as the presidential candidate of the PDP by popular acclamation.

Others to be ratified are the National Secretary, Prof. Wale Oladipo, and the National Auditor, Wale Adeyanju.
