2023 Election: Peter Obi Defeats Atiku, Tinubu With 51% In New Poll

Peter Obi, Labour Party presidential candidate, has defeated Bola Tinubu and Atiku Abubakar, candidates of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and People’s Democratic Party (PDP), respectively, by 51 percent in a new poll conducted by a public advocacy group, We2Geda Foundation.

The poll result was dated September 17, 2022 and signed by the Chairman, Board of Trustees of We2Geda, Ibrahim Abdulkareem; as well as a member of the BoT, Muna Obioha.

The group said 51 percent of respondents suggested voting for Obi as their preferred candidate, 25 percent suggested voting for Atiku, while Tinubu ranked third in the voter preference poll with 19 percent.

“Further analysis also shows that Peter Obi remained a consistent favourite in the four major geopolitical zones including North-Central, South-South, South-West and South-East, while Alhaji Atiku Abubakar was the poll leader in the North-East and North-West zones,” the group said.

We2Geda explained that Nigerians between 26 and 50 years constituted the highest number of respondents in a random survey with a total of 15,438 registered voters in 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory.

The new poll was released about two weeks after a pro-democracy group Anap Foundation released the result of its poll ahead of the 2023 presidential election which it described as a three-horse race between Obi, Atiku and Tinubu.

According to the result of the Anap poll, Obi is leading the race with 21 percent of votes.
