President Muhammadu Buhari has been tipped to win Saturday’s Presidential election as published by NOI Poll and British Business Group. The group carried out a random opinion poll and came out with a positive verdict that the All Progressive Congress candidate, will have the upper hand.
Their findings confirmed that President Buhari of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) and former Vice President Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) are clearly in a two-horse race, adding that other presidential candidates are not in serious contention.
Also, the findings did not contradict the report of New York-based global research firm, Eurasia Group, which predicted that the President will win by 60 per cent of the votes.
The NOI Poll, which was commissioned by the Anap Foundation, led by Atedo Peterside, analysed respondents’ support for President Buhari, based on six factors – continuity, fight against corruption, integrity, improving security, helping the poor and preferred choice.
Also, participants’ preference for Atiku were analysed, based on the criteria of “better economy, better governance, preferred choice, past political records, and restructuring”.
