2023 Polls: How Nigerians will vote Obi, Atiku, Tinubu, Kwankwaso – Nextier SPD projects

Nextier SPD, an African-based international development consulting firm has projected Peter Obi of the Labour Party as the likely winner of the 2023 presidential election to be held on February 25.

A new poll released on Sunday rated four presidential candidates; Peter Obi of the Labour Party, LP, Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Bola Tinubu of the All Progressives Congress, APC and Rabiu Kwankwaso of the New Nigeria Peoples Party, NNPP.

The assessment carried out by Nextier SPD gave a hint of the ratio of votes each candidate and party will get in the 36 States, as well as the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).

It shows the LP leading with 37 percent, followed by the PDP with 27 percent, the APC with 24 percent, and the NNPP with 6 percent.

The survey revealed that a significant percentage of registered voters, 72 percent, have already chosen their preferred contender.

Nextier indicated the possibility of a runoff between Obi and either Atiku or Tinubu on the fact that there might not be an outright victory after the first ballot.

With more than 9.5 million new registered voters as confirmed by the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, it said Obi has “the largest net favorability”.

The project revealed 47 percent of respondents believe the electoral umpire, INEC, would not tamper with the results, 29 percent do not believe so, and 23 percent are doubtful.

The APC and the PDP are considered the strongest parties in the 2023 contest due to their presence, membership, and spread in urban and rural areas.
