Fitch, the global rating company has tipped Bola Tinubu, presidential candidate of the ruling All Progressives Congress to win the 2023 election. The company in its report however said protests and social discontent are likely to increase in the aftermath of a Tinubu win. It said a win for the APC candidate would likely fuel sentiments of perceived marginalisation among Christians while supporters of his opponents may take to the streets to question the fairness of the electoral process.
Peter Obi Unlikely To Win Presidential Election, Tinubu’s Presidency Will Increase Social Instability In Nigeria –Global Rating Company, FitchThe company in its report however said protests and social discontent are likely to increase in the aftermath of a Tinubu win.
The statement said “comments or data are solely derived from Fitch Solutions Country Risk & Industry Research and independent sources”. “Even if these surveys were accurate at a national level, Obi’s lack of support in Nigeria’s Muslim-majority North would make it difficult for him to win next year’s election. Indeed, the North is home to the majority of all voters and turnout in this part of the country tends to be relatively high, underscoring the importance of the Northern electorate.
“However, given Obi’s popularity in the south – especially the South South and South East – we believe it is unlikely the main opposition party will be able to gain more votes in these parts of the country.
