Few days to the election but it is still hard to know who holds the majority between Peter Obi of the Labour Party, Bola Tinubu of All Progressive Congress and PDP’s presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar.
Rabiu Kwankwaso of the NNPP has also been described in an Al Jazeera report as a wild card who can determine the outcome of the election.
