Nigeria's ruling party has suspended Vice-President Atiku Abubakar for three months over corruption allegations.
Mr Abubakar has denied the claims, saying they are politically motivated.
He hopes to contest next year's general elections and backed a campaign to prevent President Olusegun Obasanjo from seeking a third term.
Mr Abubakar will remain vice-president but his suspension means he will not be eligible to seek the ruling PDP's presidential nomination.
