The Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU) Africa has once again said Atiku Abubakar, the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) will win Nigeria’s presidential election scheduled for next month.
In a series of Tweets on Friday, EIU Africa said the margin of victory is getting narrower as the election approaches, but Atiku and his political party will win the historic election.
EIU Africa tweeted, “#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 our forecast for #Abubakar to win, but expected margin of victory is narrowing as the poll approaches.”
The Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU), is the research and analysis division of The Economist Group based in the UK but different from the Economist Newspaper, even though both belong to the same group.
