Economist Intelligence unit predicts SC's verdict on Tinubu’s presidency, analyses Obi's chances

The victory of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu would not be overturned by the Supreme Court.

Business Day reported that analysts at the Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU) made this prediction.

This Day newspaper also reported on the EIU's latest prediction.

The corporation had predicted Tinubu's victory in the 2023 election.

The EIU said: “Bola Tinubu, the candidate of the ruling party, the All Progressives Congress, won the February presidential election with only 36.6 percent of the vote.

"The result is being contested in court, but EIU does not expect it to be overturned."

The analysts noted that “frustration with the two-party system was made evident by support for Peter Obi of the fringe Labour Party (LP) in the presidential election", predicting that the former Anambra state governor will be a formidable force by 2027."

They said: “Backed by unions, he will undoubtedly build the party’s profile and become a more formidable force ahead of the next election, in 2027."

APC group sends strong warning to those saying Tinubu is not yet Nigeria’s president

In a piece of related news, Legit.ng reported that the confederation of the All Progressives Congress (APC) support groups, on Sunday, July 30, said only God can unseat Bola Ahmed Tinubu as Nigeria’s president.

The group said this during a press conference in Kaduna state. The press briefing was organised in response to the alleged criticism of the 2023 presidential election by the Catholic Archbishop Emeritus of Abuja, Cardinal John Onaiyekan.
