2015 Election: Buhari Leadsjonathan In Poll Organizedby Presidential Aide by amsad19(m): 7:22am On Oct 19, 2014
On October 15, the day former Head of
State, Muhammadu Buhari, declared his
intention to run for president in the 2015
election, news website, Sahara Reporters,
activated an opinion poll asking Nigerians to
indicate who they would vote for if the election
were to hold that day between Mr. Buhari (as
candidate of the All Progressives Congress,
APC) and President Goodluck Jonathan ( as
candidate of the Peoples Democratic, PDP).
The poll lasted for only 24 hours, and out of a
total of 15,435 persons that voted, Mr. Buhari
got 12,246 votes, representing 79 percent of the
total votes cast, while President Jonathan got
3189 votes, representing 21 percent of the total
votes.
However, ostensibly to counter the poll
conducted by Sahara Reporters, Mr. Jonathan’s
Special Assistant on Social Media, Reno Omokri,
also set up a similar poll asking almost the
same question posed by the news website.
His poll, which is still running in his blog, “Build
Up Nigeria” posed the question “If the Nigerian
Presidential election were held today, who
would you vote for between President Goodluck
Jonathan and General Muhammadu Buhari?”.
Mr. Omokri’s poll began a day after Mr. Buhari
declared to run, but unlike the one ran by
Sahara Reporters, which has since closed, the
one by Build Up Nigeria is still running.
However, the result of the poll, as at 18:32 p.m.
on Saturday, showed that Mr. Buhari was also
leading by a wide margin.
While Mr. Buhari has 6,411 votes, representing
69.87 percent of the total tally, President
Goodluck Jonathan has 2,455 votes,
representing 26.75 percent of the votes cast.
Three hundred and ten persons, representing
3.38 percent of the total votes, were undecided.
While Sahara Reporters used epoll platform, Mr.
Omokri used poll daddy.

In that case, no need wasting money conducting an election. Let's just declare Buhari president.

so u think that sahara reporters can be trusted with their biased way of reporting abi?
that poll conducted by sahara reporters was only available for themselves and the registered apc members on their site to vote.

Their poll does not represent the mind of the majority
