BLOOMBERG PREDICTS PETER OBI AS THE 'TOP PICK' FOR 2023 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTIONS, WHILE TINUBU, ATIKU DISTANT 2ND, 3RD RESPECTIVELY 

A recent poll by New York-based media giant Bloomberg has predicted that Peter Obi, the flagbearer of the Labour Party, would win the 2023 presidential election in Nigeria. 

In a recent post shared on its website with the headline, Peter Obi Remains Top Pick for Nigerian President, Poll Shows, Bloomberg said the former governor of Anambra state is the people's choice.

The polls published on Friday, February 10, showed that two-thirds of respondents (Nigerians) intend to vote for Peter Obi in the forthcoming presidential election scheduled for Saturday, February 25. 

The survey, conducted for the Bloomberg News by Premise Data Corp., a San Francisco-based data company, showed that Obi maintains an unassailable lead in the race to become the next president of Nigeria.

It also said that out of 93%t of the participants who claimed they had decided to vote during the election, 66% had Obi as their preferred choice. 

This new result is slightly higher by 72% among decided respondents in an earlier poll conducted by Premise and released by Bloomberg in September last year.

Gathered from 2,384 Nigerians from January 26 to February 4 via a smartphone app, the poll showed that Bola Tinubu of the All Progressives Congress and Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party finished a distant second and third, respectively.

While Tinubu gained 18% of the undecided voters, his counterpart in the PDP polled 10%.
