He tweet reads:
"Any Presidential poll that does not somehow account for voting numbers per zone (and possible turnout) is a sham, plain and simple.
"I repeat: Any poll that focuses ONLY on % of votes, without population-weighting, is a scam."
He further revealed that the six geo-political zones that make up the federation differ in voting population while noting that election victory cannot only be determined by an absolute national percentage because of the difference in voting population.
Ogunlesi said:
"The 6 geo-political zones of Nigeria do not have equal voting numbers, or turnout patterns. As a Poll you can ONLY rely exclusively on an absolute national % (i.e. simple average of the six regional %) as determinant of the winner, if and only if all zones had EQUAL numbers/patterns."
