The February 25 presidential election looks likely to head to a runoff with Peter Obi of the Labour Party, and either Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) or Bola Ahmed Tinubu of the All Progressives Congress (APC), according to a latest poll conducted across the countryby Nextier, a public policy think tank .
The recent face-to-face nationwide poll on Nigeria’s 2023 Presidential election shows Labour Party leading the voters’ preference at 37 per cent of the survey respondents. The Peoples Democratic Party secured 27 per cent of the responses, while the All Progressives Congress secured 24 per cent, with the New Nigeria Peoples Party at six per cent.
The face-to-face interviews with the 3,000 Nigerians in urban and rural areas of the 36 states and Federal Capital Territory who have obtained their Permanent Voter Cards, showed 72 per cent of respondents having made up their mind on their preferred party. Specifically, the poll results concluded “Peter Obi has the highest net favourability amongst the top presidential candidates while Labour Party has the highest net favourability amongst the top political parties. Net favourability is calculated as each candidate’s favourable rating less their unfavourable rating.
Further analysis of the poll shows that 69.8 per cent of survey respondents feel that Nigeria “is moving in the wrong direction”, with the main challenges being insecurity, unemployment, the economy, and corruption.
