AbidoyeAyobami: The Labour Party Presidential Candidate, Mr Peter Obi has stormed Rivers State to reach out to the potential Voter for the coming 2023 general elections.
OddsDoc: For the second time in four months, a new poll conducted in December has shown that the 2023 presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), Mr. Peter Obi is ahead of the three other frontline candidates.
The poll conducted by NOI Polls Limited and commissioned by Anap Foundation showed that Obi leads Bola Tinubu of the All Progressives Congress (APC); Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and Rabiu Kwankwaso of the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP).
Speaking on Channels Television, Politics Today, President of the Foundation, Atedo Peterside on Wednesday said Mr. Peter Obi’s support has strongly gone beyond social media as the election has moved past a three-horse race.
He said: ” Obi has 23 per cent, Tinubu scored 13, Atiku got 10 and Kwankwaso polled 2 percent in the fresh poll released in December.
“Nobody has gained or lost more than 2, 3 percent. I don’t know whether that is good news or bad news but it is as if nothing has happened fundamentally, no significant shift,”
He said mobile phones were the instruments used to conduct the poll because of increased mobile phone penetration in the country, adding that a large percentage of people are undecided.
Peterside also said the interest level in the next general elections is driven by economic challenges plaguing the nation, poverty, insecurity, amongst others.
He noted that the appetite of the youths in this election is high and carpeted candidates who have dodged presidential debates.
Anap Foundation had released a similar poll in September in which Obi also led the other 17 candidates in the race for Aso Rock’s top job in 2023.
It would be recalled that spokesperson for LP, Presidential Candidate Dr. Yenusa Tanko earlier insisted that the party will not be intimidated saying “the judgment against Dr. Doyin Okupe was a gimmick to de-market Mr. Peter Obi.
“Looking at the political situation, a former National Security Adviser, Sambo Dasuki who was charged of N23.3bn fraud case involving himself has been set free.
“That was why we called it a syndicated attack . Those that were supposed to be convicted are walking freely” Tanko said.
Kewtt: Igbo people are now so scared that they ascribe the ownership and control of ESN to the Jagaban...... If truly Tinubu owns Simon Ekpa..... Then all Igbo are f@@ls
Bonavi: An 86 abi 87 yr old shaky shaky old man struggling with healthy young men to control a capsizing ship, isn't that madness. He will spend all the money in the world but will lose woefully. Who are those that will vote for him, i dont think fools in this country are up to 10% because they are the only One's that will vote such a man
Thinkam: He flagged off his campaign just yesterday in zuru, the fact you're writing of sai general, clearly shows you've no single idea of the current realities of Kebbi politics.
Stick to runner up contest with labour party, you seem to hold the forte there.
PDP is dead and buried since 2015 in kebbi state, nothing can be done to bring it back.
North4Obi23: Tinubu believes CBN Naira redesign is against his planned vote-buying. He blackmails Buhari for not campaigning for him. He blackmails Yoruba Christians for rejecting his evil Muslim-muslim ticket. He blackmails Igbos for supporting Obi. Tinubu blackmails Arise, Channels TV for inviting him for interviews. Tinubu blackmails Nigerians for asking him to present his primary school certificates, mates, school name or teachers. Let's get to know if Tinubu is Blackmailing you too for rejecting a corrupt, dying druggie like him.
uzair90: Nigerians will not make the same mistake they have made in 2015 by voting for the group of people who don't have any plan for them. APC spend half year without making the complete ministerial appointments, as for now after 7 years there's a lot of government parastatals which have no DGs, no any reasonable government will do such negligent of important government offices. Atiku Abubakar is here for the job.
