He said Obi led with 23 per cent while Tinubu scored 13. Atiku got 10 while Kwankwaso polled two per cent 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.
How the poll was conducted, Peterside reveals
The Anap Foundation president said mobile phones were the instruments used to conduct the poll because of increased mobile phone p*enetration in the country.
He further noted that the poll shows that a large percentage of people are still undecided.
According to Peterside, the interest level in the next general elections is driven by economic challenges plaguing the nation, poverty, and insecurity, amongst others.
He noted that the appetite of the youths in the forthcoming election is high.
