On December 20, 2006, Nigerian Vice President Atiku Abubakar waves to supporters as he arrives in Tafawa Balewa Square in Lagos to run for president under the Action Congress’ opposition platform. Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the governor of Lagos State, is seen in the background.
Abubakar has left the People’s Democratic Party, under whose platform he ruled the nation alongside President Olusegun Obasanjo, in order to run for office in the Action Congress next year.
