Global rating company Fitch has predicted that Nigeria will experience what we know as public discontent and protests if Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the presidential candidate of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) party, wins the coming 2023 general elections.
In an October 26 report by Fitch company, Mr Tinubu was tipped to most likely to win even though it's surveys showed significant overstating support for Peter Obi, the Labour Party candidate.
“Protests and social discontent are likely to ramp up in the aftermath of Tinubu's win since this would end the recent trend of the presidency alternating between the Muslims and Christians of Nigeria”. The company said, “A win for Tinubu would break with this unwritten tradition and likely fuel sentiment of perceived marginalisation among Christians.”
