Jonathan, 57, was endorsed by his ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) at a separate meeting in the capital, Abuja, on Wednesday night. No other candidate had challenged for the nomination.

Last time round in 2011, Jonathan secured nearly 22.5 million votes or nearly 59 percent of the ballots cast. Buhari, then campaigning for the Congress for Progressive Change, scored 12.2 million or nearly 32 percent.

The vote on February 14, 2015 is expected to the closest since Nigeria returned to democracy 15 years ago, with the opposition -- a coalition of four parties -- stronger than ever.
