Williams and Associates, the United States-based polling firm hired by Goodluck Jonathan administration ahead of the 2015 presidential election but predicted victory for Muhammadu Buhari has predicted victory for Atiku Abubakar in the forthcoming presidential polls.

The company in its analysis of Nigerian presidential election said Atiku will win with less than a majority of the votes cast with 45 per cent. Buhari, according to the polls, will take 33 per cent of the votes.

The polling sample produced Kingsley Moghalu, the candidate of Young Peoples Party, YPP, with 9 per cent of the votes, Omoyele Sowore of African Action Congress, AAC, with 8 per cent of the votes.

The same company, which when it was hired by the Jonathan administration, had predicted victory for Buhari with 54 per cent to 46 per cent for Jonathan. Buhari eventually beat Jonathan by 54 to 45 per cent of the total votes cast.

In its analysis working with data collected across Nigeria by operatives of Williams and Associates through interviews, face to face interviews and using mult-stage stratification proportionate to the population sample responders were interviewed on their preferences in English and local dialects as appropriate.

The poll also reported that South-East with 76 per cent had the greatest proportion of Nigerians who believe that things are going in the wrong direction. Only 12 per cent of those in the region believed that things were going in the right direction.

The South-East was followed by the South-South with 70 per cent, the North-East with 65 per cent, North-West with 57 per cent, South-West 48 per cent.

Remarkably, the troubled North-Central with 46 per cent had the least proportion of those who believe that things were wrong.

Two weeks to the election, 64 per cent of the sample responded that President Buhari had not done enough to deserve re-election that was compared to 52 per cent, which in the same time in 2015 that believed that Dr. Jonathan had not done enough to deserve re-election.

Responding, Mr. Festus Keyamo, spokesman of the Buhari campaign said: “This is one of several predictions that various polls have projected. I am sure also that you have said President Buhari will win with a wide margin. We know that even before the primaries.

“It is an insult to give President Buhari 33 per cent of the votes, it does not reflect the reality on the ground.”

Let's stay on topic.....that means you agree that their statistical sampling was right in 2015 but circumstances can make this unright?

fergie001:

We never followed you and their polling. We never even knew it existed.

See you,see lie oooooo

Zombies do not want to believe this. Even keyamo is shaking. Zombies would have lambasted this polling firm for this but they have checked and realised that this polling firm did the same in 2015 and predicted buhari would win then but now that they predicted atiku's victory, zombies do not want to accept it.

lol. Las las baba buhari will still win.

Massive rigging through various clandestine rigging is all APC is banking on to win..There is nothig else going for them..

If elections are relatively free and fair,Atiku will beat buhari and his gang to a stupor at the polls

The last thing to leave a man is Hope.

Atiku keeps buying hope from every angle he can!

DONE DEAL . GOD BLESS ATIKU ABUBAKAR, GOD BLESS FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF NIGERIA. WE SHALL RISE AGAIN.

Lolz

Nigeria politicians


Join my signature for massive winning on today's free odds

We already know that Buhari will be defeated massively!!

Those that will not vote Buhari in February 2019 Presidential election and their reasons:

1. Shitte Muslims because of the wanton and reckless massacre and incarceration of their members by Buhari government;

2. Reasonable Nigerians who can see that Buhari is taking Nigeria to nowhere. Instead of taking the country to Canaan, Buhari (Actually the Cabal) is taking Nigeria to the deepest dungeon in the farthest part of wilderness;

3. North Central States because Buhari has been protecting and defending Fulani Killer Herdsmen that has been killing them, raping them and Snatching their ancestral lands;

4. Southeast States because Buhari called them 5% and arrogantly marginalised them by by conspicuously neglecting their region. Buhari also massacred their sons when he transformed to python;

5. Southsouth States because Buhari called them 5% and refused to site a single federal project in the region. The abandoned Ogoni clean up comes to mind;

6. Reasonable Southwest individuals who wants the good and progress of Nigeria and does not ass lick Tinubu and can clearly see that Buhari is a yoyo being teleguided by a selfish cabal!

7. Reasonable Muslims who cherish the unity of Nigeria and have seen the divisive, clanish and nepotistic government of Buhari;

9. Over 9 Million youths that lost their jobs since 2015. To add salt to injury, Buhari insulted these youths by calling them lazy;

10. Nigerian women whom Buhari dispised and stubbornly refused to integrate into his government. Buhari also demeaned Nigerian women by blabbing that they belong to the kitchen and the other room!!

11. Real Christians who can see that Buhari's government emanated from the pit of hell!

South West believes things are going fine.

I might relocate to South West Soon

Osun or Ogun
