2023: Tinubu Loses Ground As Obi Gains Ground In North Central – Anap Poll

The Anap Foundation on Wednesday claimed that the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi has gained more ground than the flagbearer of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Tinubu in the North Central.

This is the second poll Anap Foundation will be conducting in less than four months.

The former Governor of Anambra State in the poll conducted by Anap Foundation in September was tied with Tinubu at 16% in the North Central.

The presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar in the poll scored 9%, while the flagbearer of the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP), Rabiu Kwankwaso pulled 2%.

In the latest poll released by Anap Foundation, Obi pulled 24% which represents 8% increase from the September poll while Tinubu scored 9%, a 7% decrease from the last poll.

The President of Anap Foundation, Atedo Peterside disclosed this while speaking on Channels TV.

He noted that Atiku recorded a slight decrease in the North Central zone in the latest poll, recording 8% compared to the 9% he recorded in September while Kwankwaso went from 2% in the last poll to 1% in the latest poll in the zone.

Overall, Obi led the other top three candidates with 24% which shows a 3% increase from the 21% he led with in the September poll.

Tinubu’s overall score remains unchanged as he got same 13% he scored previously, while Atiku’s score reduced to 10% from the 13% he got in September. Kwankwaso’s score also went down to 2% from the 3% he got in September.

Anap said that Obi’s 10%-point lead at this stage is significant, but not sufficient to separate him from a leading pack of candidates.

The Foundation, however, added that undecided voters and those who prefer not to reveal their preferred candidate add up to a whopping 29% and 23% respectively.

It also noted that the gender split of undecided voters shows that 38% of women are undecided versus 21% of male voters.
