EKO HOT BLOG reports that the result of a fresh opinion poll conducted by Premise Data Corp for Bloomberg News has projected Peter Obi of the Labour Party (LP) as the leading candidate ahead of the February 25 presidential election.
Recall that the US news organization had on September 28, 2022, released a first poll that showed that Obi is ahead of his other counterparts in the race for the 2023 presidential election.
The poll surveyed 3,973 Nigerians from September 5-20, and respondents to the app-based poll were selected from quotas developed by age, gender, and location across the country’s six geopolitical zones.
But in a fresh poll conducted between January 26 and February 4, the news organization said Obi was the preferred candidate ahead of the All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate, Bola Tinubu; and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) flagbearer, Atiku Abubakar.
The poll result released on Friday showed that Obi polled 66 per cent, while Tinubu scored 18 per cent and Atiku polled 10 per cent of the 93 per cent of respondents votes.
In a statement on Friday, Bloomberg News said: “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.”
