An opinion poll conducted by NOI polls, If Nigeria’s presidential election was held today, Peter Obi of the Labour Party would emerge Nigeria’s next president.
The poll, commissioned by ANAP Foundation was conducted this month and suggests a three-horse presidential race between Mr Obi, Bola Tinubu of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
Rabiu Kwankwaso of the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP) came fourth in the poll and was described as a ‘dark horse’.
“The results showed a significant lead for Mr Peter Obi with 21% of voters proposing to vote for him if the presidential election were to be conducted today; and 13% each proposing to vote for Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Alhaji Atiku Abubakar who are both tied in second place. Dr Rabiu Kwankwaso was a distant fourth with 3% of voters proposing to vote for him,” a statement by ANAP foundation announcing the result of the poll shows.
Surprisingly, Peter Obi has two regions; South East and South South on lockdown as the poll further reveals that he’s sharing North Central and South West with Tinubu.
Atiku is leading in North East and North West zones.
Nigeria will hold her presidential elections in February 2023 with campaigns set to start at the end of September.
