American political risk consultancy firm, Eurasia Group, has revealed that the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar will enrich himself and his cronies if he wins the presidential elections.
The group, however, said Atiku, because of âhis better health and keener intellectâ compared to President Muhammadu Buhari, the candidate of the All Progressives Congress, âwould create a brief, superficial boost to the countryâs image.â
The Eurasia Group said this in an annual report it published on December 7 for 2019 and obtained by Igbere TV.

The report says Atiku is a âgerontocrat who would focus on enriching himself and his cronies, avoiding the difficult and politically unpopular tasks necessary for reform.â
âBut it would also pose the risk of a return to an even more rent-seeking governing style,â the group added.
Eurasia Groupâs Top 10 risks report put Nigeria as the 10th risk with a focus on the nationâs February 2019 elections.
Nigeria heads to the poll in the next 36 days.
A former Vice President, Atiku will be contending with about 59 candidates for the post of presidency.
However, Atikuâs main contender will be President Buhari, who he left behind in APC to run for the presidency under the PDP.
