Nuhu Ribadu was one of 19 candidates for the presidential elections in Nigeria in 2011. He steps for the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN ) to. Together with the former military ruler Muhammadu Buhari and the first since last year 's ruling incumbent Goodluck Jonathan, he was one of my favorites. However, Ribadu won only one constituency directly.
