The development was said to be a result of the intervention of President Muhammadu Buhari who is the chairman of the council.

In a statement released on Saturday, September 24, Festus Keyamo, the spokesman of the council, explained that it was President Buhari who directed the organisation not to include Osinbajo in the list. Keyamo noted that Buhari gave the same instruction regarding Boss Mustapha, the Secretary to the Government of the Federation.

Economist Intelligence Unit predicts winner of Nigeria's 2023 presidential election

In another report, Tinubu, the Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU) has predicted that the presidential candidate of the ruling APC, Tinubu, will win the 2023 presidential election.

The research and analysis division of The Economist magazine stated the chances of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP)'s candidate, Atiku Abubakar, have been significantly reduced by the internal crisis in the opposition party.

The report added that Atiku's chances have been narrowed by the growing popularity of Peter Obi, the candidate of the Labour Party (LP), in the southeast region which is traditionally the powerhouse of the PDP.
