For the third straight time, Peter Obi, candidate of the Labour Party has been predicted as winner of the forthcoming presidential election.

“We had thought that by delaying our 3rd and Final Poll until early February 2023 we would see a collapse of the Undecided Vote. “Undecided voters and those who prefer not to reveal their preferred candidate add up to a whopping 23% and 30% respectively. We believe our baseline Presidential Poll published on September 15, 2022 was the first well-publicised national poll released in connection with the 2023 Presidential elections, which was followed by a Bloomberg poll published on September 28, 2022.” We have also applied the exact same methodology in our various Governorship Polls carried out in 2011, 2014, 2015, 2019 and 2022 and the methodology generally held up well. When we carried out our first baseline poll in September 2022 we thought a long campaign period would lead to different candidates taking turns to lead the field.

It further stated that the methodology used by NOIPolls is almost the exact same methodology that was used in previous Presidential Polls.

We had thought that by delaying our 3rd and Final Poll until early February 2023 we would see a collapse of the Undecided Vote. Peter Obi has been the front-runner throughout, but we caution that the Undecided/Refused vote is still too high (in early February 2023) to be ignored. The percentage of registered voters and/or voters with their Permanent Voter’s Card (PVC) is as follows in each of the zones: 96% in the North East, 93% each in the North West and South East. If they stay committed over the course of the next fortnight and, in the absence of aggravated security concerns or unresolved PVC collection challenges, we could witness a huge turnout in the February 2023 Presidential elections,” the foundation said. The age groups that expressed the greatest willingness to vote were those between 36-45 and 46-60 years. Peter Obi leads, with 21% of registered voters proposing to vote for him if the presidential election were to be conducted today; and 13% proposing to vote for Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu who fell in second place.

The reality is that the reduction in the Undecided Vote has been more than offset by the increase in the number of voters who refuse to disclose the name of their preferred candidate. voters not wanting to reveal that they appear to be voting on the basis of ethnicity and/or religion, or voters not being comfortable disclosing on the phone that they wish to vote for a candidate other than the one from their own ethnic and/or religious grouping. The percentage of registered voters and/or voters with their Permanent Voter’s Card (PVC) is as follows in each of the zones – 96% in the North East, 93% each in the North West and South East. Peter Obi has been the front-runner throughout, but we caution that the Undecided/Refused vote is still too high (in early February 2023) to be ignored. If they stay committed over the course of the next fortnight and, in the absence of aggravated security concerns or unresolved PVC collection challenges, we could witness a huge turnout in the February 2023 Presidential elections. In all those past Presidential Polls, the front-runner that was identified by our Polls ended up winning the elections, irrespective of a rather large percentage of voters who were Undecided and/or Refused to indicate who their preferred candidate was. Our agreed methodology does NOT allow NOIPolls staff to attempt to cajole unresponsive voters into making a choice on the phone because we believe that violates the rights of a voter. The age groups that expressed the greatest willingness to vote were those between 36-45 and 46-60 years. Peter Obi leads, with 21% of registered voters proposing to vote for him if the presidential election were to be conducted today; and 13% proposing to vote for Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu who fell in second place.

We have to see how he performed in the election, his performance will not only say a lot about our country but his future chances, for example, if he finishes ahead of any of those from the major party, that is a real game changer we should not take for granted. Whatever happens on the 25th, we should not forget how and when Peter Obi started; how he joined a “structureless” party and gradually gave it structure and international acclaim. He has dismantled the infamous 2 party system; he has raised the politics in Nigeria with his civility and emotional intelligence in responding to uncouth statements from the opposition. He generally raised the temperature in the country, and from being a non-threat he has become a top contender. He got many Nigerians really interested in the politics of the country and many registered and collected their PVCs. On the flip side, it could be to his advantage, with “the bandwagon effect” or “wisdom of crowds” voters who think he will win the election may end up voting for him.

At the same time, we will maintain an approach to competition that creates a level playing field for all and encourages enterprise and growth. Nothing gives us more hope of this possibility than the organic movement for a new Nigeria, driven by its young people, who say that they are inspired by my candidacy and message of possibilities. That will take investment in agricultural technologies and innovation, and the passage of legislation that upgrades and enhances agricultural production in Nigeria. To ensure economic security, we will protect our financial markets and trade and promote the rule of law. Doing all this will provide the needed resources to redress failings in education and health care. Science and technology will be critical to our success. And a generation of politicians with narrow and dismissive views of the younger generation has ruled Nigeria for the past eight years. We must entrench a culture of productivity by providing business grants and interest-free loans that enable enterprising Nigerians to contribute to our nation’s economic prosperity. Nigeria should learn from the passion and dedication of its young people on the field and in the streets. And I believe I am the right person to guide it to recovery. There’s a direct relationship between the state of our country and the quality of its leadership. For decades, Nigeria’s political class, in collaboration with other elites, has been unimaginably corrupt and reckless with the management of the country.
