U.S. Based Nigerian Professor Says President Buhari Will Be Reelected




U.S. Based Nigerian Professor Says President Buhari Will Be Reelected

#NigeriaDecides2019
Two men fighting the fight of their lives; what I predict is their last fight.
76 year old vs. 72 year old.
Pro poor vs. pro rich.
Hard core Muslim vs. Soft core Muslim.
Image of incorruptibility vs. Image of corruptibility.
Pro blood and civil unrest vs. Pro power and general protest.
Less internal divide amongst his powersharers vs. major internal divide amongst his powetsharers.
Pro blood loyalists willing to die for him vs. Pro verbal loyalists willing to run away from him and from bloodshed.
In the face of these oppositional standings real or near real,  I hypothesize or predict that Abubakar not Buhari will miss the presidential mark.
