In my opinion non of them will beat the incumbent. Of course given fair chance and a level plain field, Baba may not stand a chance. Unfortunately for the youths and for the next coming elections, Trump has somewhat endorsed Baba by making a phone to Nigerias president as first in Africa and to be the first among African president to visit the white house was well saying Buhari is a man of integrity. This is aside the fact that despite the hardship in Northern Nigeria, he still enjoys an overwhelming support from his kit and kins, a large part of the Muslim umma as well as the Hausa/Fulani speaking communities in Nigeria. In addition, the man intends to increase minimum wage by the third quota of this year 2018. this singular gesture alone can spurr a lot of Public and civil servants in Nigeria to be endeared to him, considering that Nigerians forget things pretty easily. So, this among other things have put a lot of candidates in a tight corner. 2019 elections will be interesting no doubt, but i see Buhari emerging as the president if he chooses to contest again.
