The Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU) Africa has predicted that PDP Presidential Candidate, Atiku Abubakar will win the 2019 Presidential Elections in February.
In a statement on Friday, EIU Africa pointed out that the Margin of victory is narrowing as the elections approach but Atiku will win the historic elections.
“#NigeriaDecides2019 : Less than 2 weeks before #Nigeria‘s presidential election. Abubakar has floated idea of corruption amnesty. It is arguably an impolitic time for such a delicate proposal,” EIU Africa tweeted.
“Abubakar is hard-pressed to convince voters that he is a clean politician, having been on the receiving end of numerous graft allegations in the past.
“We retain out forecast for #Abubakar to win, but expected margin of victory is narrowing as the poll approaches.”
