The Labour Party (LP) presidential candidate, Mr. Peter Obi, is the “most preferred” candidate to win come 2023, according to the latest poll conducted in December by Anap Foundation.
The organisation had conducted a similar poll in September, in which Obi also led the other 17 candidates, including the three most formidable opponents to the country’s top job.
In its recent poll, ANAP Foundation said Obi garnered 23 percent to lead his opponents – Asiwaju Bola Tinubu of the All Progressives Congress (APC); Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples’ Democratic Party (PDP) and Rabiu Kwankwaso of the New Nigeria Peoples’ Party (NNPP).
Tinubu scored 13, Atiku got 10 and Kwankwaso polled 2 percent, according to the fresh poll released by ANAP Foundation.
“Nobody has gained or lost more than 2, 3 percent. I don’t know whether that is good news or bad news but it is as if nothing has happened fundamentally, no significant shift,” Anap Foundation President, Atedo Peterside disclosed this while featuring on Channels TV’s Politics Today on Wednesday.
According to Peterside, the election has moved past a three-horse race, as said in an earlier poll released in September, to a four-horse race following the growing popularity of the NNPP flag-bearer, Kwankwaso, especially in Northern Nigeria.
