Buhari vs Atiku: many international and local polls announce the winner [see details]

President Muhammadu Buhari and former Vice President Alhaji Atiku Abubakar will engage in a final battle to determine who will lead Nigeria to the presidential election scheduled for tomorrow.

President Buhari defeated former president Goodluck Jonathan and became president in 2015.

While many Nigerians believe that the 2015 event that ensured the world of stability and growth of democracy in the country could recur, others think that it would be difficult for Atiku and the PDP defeat Buhari and his party All Progressives Congress.

However, several polls conducted by many mainstream media and international research organizations, social media and online have shown an imminent victory of the People's Democratic Party, PDP, presidential candidate Atiku Abubakar and his vice president, the Dr. Peter Obi.

Feedback was positive about Atiku and Obi's ability to generate growth, create jobs and begin the urgent task of lifting large numbers of Nigerians out of poverty.

In October 2018, The Economist Intelligence Unit, EIU, the research unit of The Economist Magazine, predicts that the People's Democratic Party, PDP, will oppose the ruling congressional candidate All Progressive Congress, APC, in the next presidential elections of 2019.

According to the magazine "The elections of 2019 will be a close fight between the ruling APC and the PDP. We expect the PDP presidential candidate to win.

"The next government will likely be led by the PDP, the main opposition, potentially in a coalition with smaller parties."

Supporting this postulate, Williams and Associates, the US-based polling firm that predicts Muhammadu Buhari's victory in 2015, also predicted Atiku Abubakar's victory in the upcoming presidential elections.

The survey firm had come to the conclusion using data collected in Nigeria by its agents during face-to-face interviews and using a stratification to several degrees proportional to the population sample respondents interviewed on their preferences in English and local dialects, as the case may be.
