Placing each state's population along side the data could have made more comparative meaning.

Hmmn.

It's a shame on our leaders.
Little wonder we've exceeded World's Bank poverty index estimation.

What is their percentage to the population

This is headcount.

If it's in percentage then the total population would be required for proper comparison but this is the total number of poor people in each state, it has nothing to do with total population.

Tinubu and his group of urchins said that the poor people in the south east have moved to South West , reason their number is high, expect Ganduje to give the same reason for Kano , El-Rufai will repeat same line.
