So Obedient movement have suddenly turned to a protest

Is no longer peaceful rallies but by force protest .

The security agents had used teargas to disperse the protesters at Pastoral Centre Mile 50

OBI-DIENT protesters are marched in Abakaliki Ebonyi state. Earlier, security operatives made unsuccessful attempts to disrupt the solidarity march.

The security agents had used teargas to disperse the protesters at Pastoral Centre Mile 50 before the commencement of the protest. But shortly after, they regrouped and commenced the protest.

As at the time of this report, the protesters have just returned to Pastoral Mile 50 where they started.

They had moved from Pastoral Centre to G-hostel junction from where they moved to Spera ndeo junction to Vanco and now back to Pastoral Centre.

2023 presidential election candidates
The presidential election opinion polls conducted for ANAP foundation in 2015 and 2019 clearly said the then candidate of the APC Muhammad Buhari had a better chance of winning the last two presidential elections.

The two polls were conducted by NOI polls, the same company that conducted the September 2022 presidential poll with Peter Obi leading but which has been generating controversy since the results were released by founder of the foundation, Atedo Peterside.

In a statement issued on February 16, 2015 to announce the results of the polls, the foundation said, “from the results, when asked who respondents will be voting for in the coming 2015 presidential elections, the figures put General Muhammadu Buhari in a slight lead (32 percent) over President Goodluck Jonathan (30 percent); indicating a 2 percentage points lead. Interestingly, both candidates enjoy decent support across gender and age groups.

“Some key highlights to note – on the average, Buhari enjoys groundswell support in the North-West and North-East geo-political zones; while Jonathan remains the beautiful bride of the South-South and South-East zones.

According to the statement, “the high PVC collection rates in the North-West and North-East Zones (above 80% in several states) appear to have given Buhari the slight advantage over the incumbent President Jonathan as much lower PVC collection rates of below 60% have been recorded in several states in the South-East and South-South zones (Jonathan’s area of strength) at the time of our survey.”

On February 14, 2019, ANAP foundation released the results of a poll conducted for it by NOI and in it, the foundation said Buhari of the APC was in the lead against the main opposition candidate Atiku Abubakar.

According to a statement issued on the poll results by ANAP foundation, “from the results, when asked who respondents will be voting for in the coming 2019 Presidential elections, the figures put President Muhammadu Buhari in the lead (with roughly one-third of the votes) over Alhaji Atiku Abubakar (with approximately one-quarter of the votes). Interestingly, both candidates enjoy decent support across gender and age groups.

Atiku also has a better spread across all six geopolitical zones. Buhari falls significantly short of 25% in the South East Zone and is also in danger of falling short of 25% in the South South Zone.

“Buhari’s lead is sizeable but not unassailable because the largest concentration of Undecided voters reside in the South East Zone, where he is weakest. Voter turnout can also make a big difference on the day, especially if there is considerable disparity in turnout figures across the geopolitical zones. Buhari was always in the race as the front-runner.

Atiku started from zero and has momentum on his side. Given the size of the Undecided vote and its unique and concentration in the 3 Southern geopolitical zones and the North Central Zone, Anap Foundation has concluded that the final outcome is deemed to be too close to call.”

On on both occasions in 2015 and 2019, Bihari of the APC went on to win and the NOI poll results did not generate any controversy.

In 2011, NOI also conducted an opinion poll for ANAP foundation and the results were unveiled this way on March 22, 2011: “ahead of the presidential elections scheduled to hold on April 9, 2011, ANAP Foundation decided to commission NOI Polls Limited to conduct a face-to-face nationwide presidential poll to ascertain public sentiment on the candidacy of aspirants for the office of President.

NOI Polls administered the survey utilizing well established survey methodologies, including scientifically tested sampling techniques, developed by the Gallup Organization.

The opinion poll was carried out from February 11th – February 28th 2011 with a representative random sample of Nigerians drawn from Nigeria’s six major geo-political zones and reflecting rural urban split in population.

“The overriding objective of the poll is to empirically establish which of the presidential candidates stands the greatest chance of receiving the people’s mandate to ascend to the nation’s highest office.

The rationale for the survey in the run up to the elections is to provide Nigerians with the opportunity to express their views on salient political issues and candidates, as well as to generate data which gives an indication of the voting intentions of the citizenry prior to the elections.

Data generated from the nationwide presidential poll revealed the following: Almost all Nigerians have given at least some thought to the April elections.

“Nearly 3 out of 4 of the respondents have voted in at least one previous election. Almost all Nigerians had registered or planned to register to vote in the upcoming election. An extension of the period for the voter registration exercise would further enable registration of eligible voters in Nigeria.

“46% of Nigerians were aware that Ibrahim Shekarau is running for president. 48% of respondents were aware that Nuhu Ribadu is running for president. 73% of Nigerians were aware that Muhammed Buhari is running for president. 93% of respondents were aware that Goodluck Jonathan is running for president. For all other candidates, less than 20% of Nigerians knew that they were running for president. Majority (85%) of Nigerians feel very strongly about their choice for the presidential position. Most (53%) of the respondents think that Goodluck Jonathan will win the April presidential position. Most (68%) approve of Goodluck Jonathan’s performance as president.”

Jonathan went on to win that election as the survey suggested.

However, the APC was the first to rubbish the latest opinion by NOI poll, calling the results which put Peter Obi of Labour Party in a clear lead and some have suggested that APC blows hot and cold as it suits the party.

I really feel pity for BAT. I wonder how his urchins sleep at night knowing that bad news awaits them each morning from now till Feb 25. It's such a bad time to be a BATist.
When they listen to the news, they keep hearing about Obi & patriotic Nigerians who want to take back their country.
To make matters worse, northerners are teaching the so called sophisticated master strategist practical lessons in Politics 101.
The only thing left for him is to minimize his losses by reducing the number of bullion vans he intends to deploy for election financing, vote buying, crowd renting & campaigns.
He was banking on northern governors like Ganduje,El Rufai etc & other heavy weight politicians across the country to support him without knowing that most of them are only out for a share of his loots while acting like they care about his lifelong ambition.
Even rigging will be highly minizeed because of BVAS.
The thought of engaging in vote buying is equally a risky proposition judging by the Osun election experience where people collect the money & vote their preferred candidate hence the slogan " vote wisely" .
With Atiku dominating in the NW & NE while the OBIdient movement resonates among the grassroots in the SE,SS, most parts of NC, christains & a reasonable number of muslims in the NW,NE as well as a large number of SW voters, where is Tinubu hoping to get the numbers from to make his dream a reality.

Obi-datti 2023. The real hope to rescue our nation.
Any other is to reinforce failure.

The All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential Campaign Council on Thursday said that the candidate of the ruling party in the upcoming 2023 Elections, Bola Ahmed Tinubu is unmoved by a presidential survey conducted by frontline polling company, NOI polls.

POLITICS NIGERIA reports that a new opinion poll on the fortunes of the candidates for the 2023 presidential elections released this morning by ANAP foundation shows Peter Obi of the Labour Party holding a significant lead over both Tinubu and Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

In the nationwide poll conducted this month, Obi, a former governor of Anambra State, stands at 21% while both Tinubu and Atiku are tied in second place with 13% each. Rabiu Musa Kwankwanso of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) is at a distant fourth with only 3%.

But reacting to the outcome of the poll, the APC Presidential Campaign Council in a statement signed by its Director of Media and Publicity, Bayo Onanuga, described the NOI polls as “dubious”.

According to the council, the NOI polls are not dependable at all.

“We are unperturbed by these dubious and unreliable statistics because our research shows that NOI Polls have been off the mark at critical election periods in recent times,” the statement by Onanuga said.

Furthermore, it noted for example that preparatory to the March 2015 presidential elections, NOI published in October 2014 the results of a “Viability Poll” which used the concepts of Familiarity and Net Favourability Position to survey.

“In the results, NOI claimed that President Goodluck Jonathan has the best overall familiarity rating at 99% and Net Favourability Probability of ±25.

“By contrast, NOI dismissed the then All Progressives Congress candidate, Muhammadu Buhari as a ‘borderline candidate’ who needed ‘huge public relations’ to shore up his performance.

“But when the Nigerian people went to the polls, who won? The APC candidate and now President, Muhammadu Buhari.

“This is not the only instance when the NOI has turned its political bias in an election period to fraudulent statistics”, the council stated.

ANAP foundation has traditionally organised political opinion polls ahead of each of the presidential elections since 2011 and are conducted by NOI polls.
