The United States Institute of Peace recently predicted that the Nigerian 2019 presidential election will most likely be won by incumbent, President Muhammadu Buhari.
According to the institute, the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC)’s hold on power will most likely be maintained in 2019.
It however noted that many Nigerians feel that the current administration has not met their expectations.
Reacting to the prediction, the senator representing Kano central senatorial district, Shehu Sani, urged the institute to focus on Nigeria's troubled spots and not predicting election results.
“US peace institute should help in working for peace in our troubled spots or ‘predicting peace’ in our crisis ridden towns and villages, instead of playing the soothsayer by predicting election results,” Sani, a vocal lawmaker wrote on his Twitter page.

Front-line presidential candidate, Gbenga Olawepo-Hashim, at the weekend berated the APC-led federal government, accusing them of poor economic management strategy, which he said has led to greater poverty amongst Nigerians.
The candidate running on the platform of the popular People’s Trust (PT), in an interactive session with journalists, regretted that, “APC’s woeful failure has put 88 million Nigerians into acute poverty,” adding that, “1.1m got into that bracket in the last four months despite relatively high oil price.”
He said Nigerians are getting poorer because of the woeful economic management strategy or lack of strategy of the APC government, stressing that, “even though Nigeria was not a prosperous economy when President Buhari took over, Nigerian economy has now gone from bad to worse.”
