Supporters of Nigerian President Bola Tinubu are sure that he will emerge victorious as they wait for the country's presidential election tribunal to rule on whether he stays as president.
Two rivals have challenged his win and installation following the elections in February this year.
During that time, Tinubu, leader of All Progressive Alliance, emerged victorious with 8,794,726 votes followed by Peoples Democratic Party leader Atiku Abubakar who had 6,984,520 and Peter Obi of the Labour Party who clinched 6,101,553 votes.
On Wednesday, Tinubu's allies were sure that he would remain as the country's President.

Tinubu is currently in India for the G20 Summit as per the invitation of India's Prime Minister, Narendra Modi.
He was expected to deliver the keynote speeches at the Nigeria-India Presidential Roundtable and Business Conference which is set to be held on the sidelines of the summit.
Meanwhile, Tinubu's administration took a decisive move this week by recalling Nigeria's "career and non-career" ambassadors with immediate effect.
In a statement, his office said: The President's directive is sequel to his careful study of the present state of affairs at Nigerian Consulate Offices and Embassies worldwide, and in line with the President's renewed hope agenda, the President is determined to ensure that world-class efficiency and quality, will henceforth, characterize foreign and domestic service delivery to citizens, residents and prospective visitors alike."
Those exempted include "Nigeria's United Nations Permanent Representatives in New York and Geneva."
The Presidency said the representatives would be given an opportunity to attend this month's 78th Session of the United Nations General Assembly where the general debate is expected to kick off from September 19.
