The All Progressives Congress, APC, has criticised a new survey done by NOI Polls Limited, claiming that the poll was manipulated to favour supporters of the Labour Party’s (LP) presidential candidate, Peter Obi.
Festus Keyamo, the spokesperson for the Tinubu/Shettima Presidential Campaign Council According to Keyamo, a new poll commissioned by Anap Foundation and led by Atedo Peterside places Obi ahead of the APC’s presidential candidate, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, and two other frontrunners.
Keyamo insisted that the latest poll was “deliberately biassed” to bolster Obi’s supporters, whose enthusiasm had dwindled in previous months.
Keyamo also criticised the media used to conduct the poll.
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).
Recall that 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.
Keyamo labeled the fresh Anap’s poll concluded at the end of December as a “fallacy” with many unanswered questions.
