Labour Party Presidential candidate, Peter Obi, has been ranked as the most likely candidate to win the 2023 presidential election according to a poll conducted by the Ngozi Okonjo Iweala Polls and commissioned by the Atedo N.A. Peterside Foundation.
According to the September Poll, the three top presidential candidates are Obi, Bola Tinubu of the All Progressives Congress, and Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.
The organisers of the pol described candidate of the New Nigeria People’s Party, Rabiu Kwankwaso, as a ‘dark horse’.
A statement by ANAP foundation stated, “The results showed a significant lead for Mr Peter Obi with 21% of voters proposing to vote for him if the presidential election were to be conducted today; and 13% each proposing to vote for Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Alhaji Atiku Abubakar who are both tied in second place.
