* Says Obi will emerge formidable force in 2027

The Economic Intelligence Unit (EIU) has predicted that the victory of President Bola Tinubu in the February 25 presidential election will not be overturned by the court.

EIU, which had projected that Tinubu would win the presidential poll, also predicted in its latest report that the presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), Mr. Peter Obi would emerge a formidable force in 2027.The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) had declared Tinubu, the presidential candidate of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), as the winner of the last presidential election.

Tinubu defeated 17 other candidates who took part in the election. He scored a total of 8,794,726 votes to emerge victorious.INEC Chairman, Prof. Mahmood Yakubu, who announced the final results, said the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar came second with a total of 6,984,520 votes in the election.

Obi came third in the election with a total of 6,101,533 votes while Rabiu Kwankwaso of the New Nigeria’s People Party (NNPP) came fourth with 1,496,687 votes.Both Atiku and Obi are challenging Tinubu’s victory at the Presidential Election Petitions Court.

EIU had predicted before the 2023 general election that Tinubu would win the presidential poll.In its latest report released at the weekend, EIU noted that the presidential candidate of the LP, Obi would emerge a formidable force in 2027, pointing out that the court would not overturn Tinubu’s victory in the February 25 presidential poll.

“Bola Tinubu, the candidate of the ruling party, the All Progressives Congress, won the February presidential election with only 36.6 per cent of the vote. The result is being contested in court, but EIU does not expect it to be overturned. Mr. Tinubu prioritised winning the Muslim north, and calls for secession from the Christian-majority south will grow louder,” EIU said in its latest report.

The report noted that Tinubu came to power in May after an election in February in which he won 37 per cent of the vote on a turnout of 27 per cent.According to EIU, Tinubu took over from Muhammadu Buhari, his predecessor from the same party, the APC. The report added that Tinubu has shrugged off low popularity to begin a campaign of market reform on a scale and intensity that is virtually unparalleled in Nigerian history.

“He has deregulated the foreign-exchange market and petrol pricing -reforms that will deliver a stronger economy in the medium to long run but that mean short-term pain for consumers. The capacity to shield households from rising prices is limited owing to a tiny fiscal footprint. In a country already grappling with multiple security crises that are fuelled by high unemployment (a third of the workforce in 2020, the most recent official data) and widespread poverty, the potential for mass unrest is a major risk to both the smooth implementation of reforms and the ability of the government to survive its first term. Inflation when Mr. Tinubu came to power in May was 22.6 per cent and will rise sharply over 2023 and into 2024. As the president’s low level of political capital erodes, EIU expects his reform agenda to lose momentum,” the report explained.

“The APC won a majority in the upper house and the largest number of seats in the lower house. Nigerian politics is fluid, with party allegiances often more about political convenience than ideology. Frustration with the two-party system was made evident by support for Peter Obi of the fringe Labour Party in the presidential election. Backed by unions, he will undoubtedly build the party’s profile and become a more formidable force ahead of the next election, in 2027,” EIU added.

Founded in 1946, EIU forecasts economic trends, political forces and industry developments in countries of the world.They combine data, analysis and forecasting to guide informed decisions by businesses and policymakers.

The Chief coroner is still carrying on his inquest from endsars of unclaimed victims, you oblivious Empty Barrels want to add to the statistics, & give his office more work?

This is clearly an Agbado sponsored article.

I can swear by Sango and Ogun that some hundreds of thousands of dollars was used to get this article featured on the Economist.

Or how would they be talking with such a certainty?

It’s like speaking before the last Champions League Final between Man City and Inter Milan, and you speak with so much certainty that Man City will the cup, not as a prediction but as a statement of fact, then you will definitely have to answer for match fixing.

So, all these rubbish sponsored OpEd is geared towards providing a soft ground for judicial abracadabra that would retain Tinubu but Nigerians will not be deceived.

Nobody, except the one that already cut a deal the judges, can say with certainty, what the outcome of the case in court would be.

All Eyes On The Judiciary!

What the Economist said is old public knowledge, the Apga Judas/Pdp runaway, doesn’t have what it takes to rule the nation.

Even before the general election, ordinary commoners with logical reasoning had told the oblivious minded Obidients, that there was no way in the Federal Republic that Peter Gringory Obi could win this, or any future general election in Nigeria.

So one wonders why this penguin2 is pretending to hear this facts for the first time?

Base on the evidence on ground, Obi and Atiku have no case

It's an open secret 🤠

We know nah my dear.


We know them wella, the evil party APC and their supporters.

You want to blackmail the judiciary again? Jokes taken too far.

Peter Obi can be arrested if his supporters misbehave after the SC ruling. Get that into your oblongata

I don’t need any EIU to tell me what is obvious. Sensible people who followed the court case knew the opposition failed woefully to prove anything. Atiku and Peter Obi’s cases will be dismissed with heavy cost imposed on both of them for wasting the court’s time with such frivolous suits.

Stop deceiving Agbados with fake and jaundiced analysis.

Obi will be lucky if he gets 2 million votes in 2027
The man too dull walahi
How and why Anambra voted that olodo is still a mystery to me

Try for headless mobs to cry

😀😂😄

Obi will remain regional presidential candidate in 2037

Obi lule!,even the foreign powers see him as a clown. US Vice President dey call Jagaban on phone, bad boy Putin dey famz Shetima in Russia, Ecowas carry chairmanship give Jagaban, India President don already send invitation to my Jagaban for the world's summit coming up soon. Na dem dey rush my Jagaban while wailers still dey look for agulu rotten manhood, if wailers don't wail, wetin i gain?

Who be all these unknown men wey still dey give Obi lamba 2027 hope. Obi is gone forever, as in o ti lo. May Obi and his lamba type of politics never happen to Nigeria ever again.

Some Predictions do FAIL.

This is one of them. 😕🙂

The cost of holding a run off election will even be too much for Nigeria to bear at this time

Rubbish as usual.

Is that what you think?

E go be like film trick for ya eye when e happen!

Imagine say na Tinubu organise that talk for Spaces yesterday....

You can pay all you want but you can never buy organic love.

Bros, I dey this forum dey watch MANNABBQGRILL dey embarrass his generation since 2015. If he had put that energy to learning a new skill, he would have bagged solid paying remote jobs 8 years later.
Try dey ask yourself, to what end.
You're here 24/7 defending Tinubu for what? Peanuts?
If you channel that energy to learning at least 3 good courses on udemy within the next one year, you'd apply for remote jobs and you'd get them. Then you'd see the harm you've been doing to yourself here.
If you no dey take advice, try take this one.

Of course not. Those barn doors are opened already. It’ll result in an almost civil war with hundreds of thousands dead.

An interim government should have been appointed just like before.

Lamba Nanu case is the most useless presidency election case ever!

Him & his lawyers rawyers are nothing but a joke. They wasted the courts time chasing shadows with so much noise..

Heavy fine awaits them..
