A pre-presidential
election opinion poll has projected Peter Obi of the Labour Party
(LP) as the leading candidate ahead of the February 25 elections.
In the poll conducted by Premise Data Corp for Bloomberg News, Obi
was the preferred choice of the respondents ahead of Bola Tinubu of the All
Progressives Congress (APC) and Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party
(PDP).
The poll result released on Friday showed that the LP
candidate garnered 66 percent of the 93 percent of respondents’ votes.
Tinubu and Abubakar got 18 and 10 percent respectively. The poll was conducted between January 26 and February 4.
“San Francisco-based
Premise polled 2,384 Nigerians from Jan. 26 to Feb. 4 via a smartphone app.
Submissions were selected from quotas developed by age, gender, and location
across the country’s six geopolitical zones, the company said. Results were
then weighted against the original quotas to ensure national representation,”
Bloomberg News said.
There have been a number of polls conducted for the leading
presidential candidates.
The LP candidate has won the majority of the polls but the
opposition parties are quick to dismiss their outcome.
In September 2022, an
NOI poll placed Obi as the leading candidate with 21 percent of the votes.
Tinubu and Atiku tied in second place with 13 percent of
votes each, while Kwankwaso of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) came fourth
with three percent.
The result of the poll was dismissed by APC, NNPP, and PDP.
