Election 2023: “Outright Win In 17 States” – A Fresh Survey Predicts Tinubu’s Success
The Nigerian Human Rights Community (NHRC) poll ranks Bola Tinubu as the favorite to win the presidency.
This was revealed in a survey report published on Thursday by the NHRC, an organization made up of 134 civil liberties and community-based organizations.
“Out of the 19365 respondents interviewed, 7940 (41%) are voting for the candidate of the APC while 5035 (26%), 4067 (21%), and 1743 (9%) are voting for the candidates of PDP, LP, and NNPP respectively,” the report read. “1162 (6%) of the respondents are rooting for the other candidates.”
It noted that the election is among three candidates – Peter Obi of the Labour Party, APC’s Bola Tinubu, and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP)’s Atiku Abubakar.
However, the NHRC said that based on the poll, Tinubu is the “most dominant and widely accepted candidate followed by Atiku Abubakar (PDP) and Peter Obi (LP).
Yet, it is important to keep in mind that the “gray states” (Rivers, Kebbi, Bauchi, Plateau, and Katsina), which are too close to call and have a large number of apathetic incumbent governors, could tip the scales in favor of the presidential candidate who is able to mobilize their support.
The group said that it conducted the exercise in a professional and objective manner to obtain an accurate reflection of opinions.
Including the FCT, respondents were chosen from each of the 36 states.
