Court affirms Obi’s candidacy as party lauds latest poll predicting victory

Less than 24 hours after the release of a national poll showed that Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), had expanded his lead, another national survey conducted by Stears on Tuesday predicted the election of Obi as the next president of Nigeria in the event of a massive turnout. 

According to the poll, Obi has a good chance of winning the presidential election if voter turnout is high. The poll revealed that Obi could win the election with as many as 41 per cent of the votes cast, ahead of Ahmed Bola Tinubu of the All Progresses Congress (APC), who is at 31 per cent, and Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), at 20 per cent.
