Reactions as Stears Poll Predicts Winner of 2023 Presidency between Tinubu and Peter Obi

A predictive poll by Stears, which predicted the winner of the 2023 presidential election has stirred reactions from the supporters of the major presidential candidates.

The poll by the pan-African data company predicted that Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), will win the 2023 presidential election if there is a high turnout of voters.

It also predicted that Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the All Progressives Congress (APC)'s presidential candidate, will win if there is a low turnout of voters.

"There's no single way that Peter Obi will win the election," Dangata told Legit.ng.

Peter Obi will win - Richard Ngene

Also reacting, Hon Richard Ngene, a Labour Party chieftain, said Obi will win "no matter the turn out".

"With this CBN Naira policy, you can see APC governors and candidates already crying. They know they can’t win any election without buying votes. God bless Buhari for the finishing touches," Ngene who recently left the APC for the LP said.

Meanwhile, Ogoegbunam Kingdom, a youth/women development advocate, pointed out that while polls can predict the outcome of an election, they are not always accurate.

The director of the Platform for Youth and Women Development said:

"Polls may not accurately decide any elections but are very strong indications on how and where an outcome may sway to."

In another report, The Economist, a London-based newspaper, has picked the Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, as the best choice for Nigeria.

In a recent article, the newspaper said Nigeria desperately needs a new kind of leadership and "Peter Obi offers the best hope of it."
