The governor said the poll was not conducted accurately and that Mr Obi's Labour Party is using ethnicity and religious bigotry in its campaign which will also make him lose the election.
Governor Nasir El-Rufai of Kaduna State, Thursday said the Labour Party’s presidential candidate, Peter Obi, will not win the 25 February presidential election.
For instance, the ANAP polls conducted in early December 2022 showed 23 per cent of voters are willing to vote for Mr Obi in the presidential election, 13 per cent proposing to vote for Mr Tinubu who came in second place. “I was a teaching assistant for statistics, I understand it. I am not talking as a politician or a layman. The most important thing in looking at any opinion poll is the sample followed by the methodology.
“I can take every one of these opinion polls and deconstruct them because I understand what is sampling and what is a methodology and those polls are a joke with the greatest respect,” the governor said. “How can Peter Obi win any election, he is polling one per cent in Sokoto, two per cent in Katsina, and five per cent in Kano, that is where the votes are, all states are not equal.
