The All Progressives Congress (APC) has faulted a fresh poll conducted by NOI Polls Limited which put the 2023 presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), Peter Obi ahead of APC’s Bola Tinubu and two other frontline candidates.

The new poll commissioned by Anap Foundation led by Atedo Peterside is “deliberately skewed” to encourage Obi’s supporters whose enthusiasms have waned in recent times, said Festus Keyamo in a statement sent to Channels Television on Thursday night.

Keyamo, who is the Chief Spokesperson for the Tinubu/Shettima Presidential Campaign Council, also faulted the medium through which the poll was conducted.

Anap Foundation had on Wednesday released its second poll concluded in December which showed that participants and potential voters preferred Obi to Tinubu; Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP); and Rabiu Kwankwaso of the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP).

Peterside had said Obi has 23 percent, Tinubu scored 13, Atiku got 10 and Kwankwaso polled 2 percent in the fresh poll released in December.

He had also said mobile phones were the instruments used to conduct the poll because of increased mobile phone penetration in the country, adding that a large percentage of people are undecided.

Anap Foundation had released a similar poll in September in which Obi also led the other 17 candidates in the race for Aso Rock’s top job in 2023.

However, Keyamo, on Thursday, labeled Anap’s poll concluded at the end of December a “fallacy” with many unanswered questions.

THE FALACY OF THE SO-CALLED ANAP FOUNDATION POLL

BY FESTUS KEYAMO, SAN

There is no need to join issues with or analyse this fallacious polls any further once you see the methodology by which the polls was conducted: according to Atedo Peterside, it was ONLY by phone that it was conducted because of the ‘insecurity’ across the country. They did not conduct a person-to-person enquiry.

QUESTIONS: (1.) How did they ascertain the phone numbers of those who reside or are registered in a particular State? (2) If it is from the INEC register (was it made available to them?) how did they ascertain those that have collected their PVCs and are eligible to vote, since collection of PVC just began? (3). Assuming the INEC register was not made available to them, and they randomly sampled opinions by phone numbers and asked people to state their locations or where they are registered to vote, what gave them the assurance that respondents truthfully stated their locations? (4). It is a fact that many people in Nigeria have two to three phone numbers; if so, how sure are they that many respondents did not respond by different phone numbers that they may have? (5). It is also true that millions of under 18-year-olds have access to phones in Nigeria and the world, how did they ascertain the ages of those responding to their supposed enquiries?

Many unanswered questions. In all, in a complex country like Nigeria, anything short of a person-to-person polling, including harvesting enquiries from far flung rural areas and in local languages, is a complete exercise in futility.

Finally, my considered opinion is that this poll is deliberately skewed to encourage the supporters of a particular candidate whose enthusiasms have waned in recent times in the face of the hard realities they have seen on the ground on the campaign trail.

Op, do your own poll and give us your findings. Please be sincere with your data. I just returned from Abuja by 7pm Dana flight which was supposed to have taken off around 5:45pm but was delayed. Abuja airport witnessed an unprecedented crowd today. People were standing, no seats left. Obi's discussions rented the air. Most people I also polled in town said they're voting Peter Obi. The driver that dropped me off at the airport who hails from the middle belt said its obi. He even showed me a Whatsapp group called obidient movements. Tinubu and Atiku aren't popular in abuja which is why I trust in the recent ANAP polls. Obi's acceptance in most places was similar to baba's acceptance in 2015.

I've chosen not to respond to some myopic comments anymore. I read earlier today where urchins mocked rivers campaign turnout, saying edo crowd was the largest. Whereas, Edo campaign rally took place on a Saturday when civil servants and other salary earners were available to attend. Is it possible for Rivers civil servants to leave their jobs and attend a rally on a work day? What of bankers, students, lecturers, salary earners etc? If most of Obi's rallies were held on a Saturday, especially in places where he gains massive support, the crowd would be uncontrollable. Hearing that p-square was coming alone would have pulled more crowd.

That said, instead of attacking and insultng people in their usual habit, this is the best time for urchins to work harder for Emilokan, especially in the core north cos apc is losing members in large number daily. That's what they need to ponder upon, not obidients who have already made up their minds.

But u praise d one of 2015

If it is that forget obituaries. ...


Zombidients' keypad warriors are always purse and alert on phone 24/7

to counter any move from opposition.


Even if kanu contested with buhari on air today.

Omo! Forget kanu will win...

4yrs course for 4yrs job.
7yrs course for 7yrs job. (Bola Ahmed Tinubu)

Does Festus Keyamo think Nigerians are daft, stupid and blind to vote for APC again?

The All Progressive Congress and its campaign spokespersons are just pained that Nigerians have dumped them. Whatever relevance the APC has now, ends with President Muhammadu Buhari whose tenure expires 2023.

If it is not in eir favor it's rubbish but when it's in eir favor then d poll is telling d minds of Nigerians

Never argue with roasted corn footsoldiers

Isokuso and asiwere APC government who have impoverished Nigerians.

The poll really made alots of APC supporters went mad

Confusion don enter their life.
Una never see anything

50 percent in South east and 50 percent in South south. With this high percentage in these two zones, the poll average will definitely give Obi the lead. But the issue- is this 50 percent in the south east enough to counter one state in the north?

Keyamo self not all issues you will just releasing press . honestly I think ffk would have done a good job as a chief spokesman for campaign organization.

This online vote look like a childish to me.

Obi led with 23% and the voting strength of each region was considered.

Obi led in 3 zones: SS, SE, and NC.

No Block votes coming from the North this time for anybody , as enjoyed by buhari in 2015 and 2019 respectively. Atiku, tinubu and Obi will share northern votes next year. Lagos is another interesting state to look out for

I would rather believe ANAP Foundation than believe Festus Keyamo.

APC urchins are now moving mad. Everywhere don choke.

I'm still disturbed by some people thinking Obi can win Presidency? Like how? How will it happen

This is delusion

stuffs2002:


It is the mkporu mirri that is giving them such MAD thoughts

No wonder

Only the uninformed would rejoice at that "Polls" result. Atedo Peterside was only trying to shore up the low fortunes of his friend.

Na Clowns full APC

This poll really hit hard on Apc,in 2015 it favored them, 2019,it favored them,now they,
Are complaining, tinubu can never be Buhari.
Tinubu will be disgraced at the poll next year.

Same poll that have previously predicted victory for the APC in the time past and they won accordingly? Very stupid clownish bunch of pained assholes.

More tears to urchins

But the poll wasn't skewed in 2015, and 2019 when it predicted Buhari to win?

The poll has been correct since 2011. Stop crying.

Hehehe .

This poll really got to these guys,so much tears and gnashing of teeth .

As we da plainty e da pain them as e da pain them e da sweet us.

All I know is ANAP has called every presidential election correctly since 2011. They have even delved into polling state elections recently and still called Osun and Ekiti elections right.
That said how come the South-West has the highest percentage of respondents (38%) who did not want to reveal the candidate they intend to vote for? I find that very very interesting.

Chief Wailer, anger yield nothing, don't be angry.

Deep down your heart you know Obi can NEVER win but you just have to keep massaging that ego

Racoon:
Same poll that have previously predicted victory for the same APC and the won accordingly? Very stupid clownish bunch of assholes.

God Bless Nairaland, the incoming President Bola Tinubu is already being addressed President

This Obi na headache for many urchins
