An independent national poll carried out around the country by the Nigeria Polls and Survey group has shown that President Goodluck Jonathan would defeat the All Progressive Congress (APC) presidential candidate, General Muhammadu Buhari (rtd) with a 7.01 per cent margin in Saturday’s presidential poll.
This is even as two other indigenous survey firms, FORWARD MAGAZINE and Zevland Ventures Limited tipped the president who is the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate to win the election with at least a margin of 17 per cent.
In its own survey, the Nigeria Polls and Survey group said it hinged its result on a five- item questionnaire administered on a total of 10,294 registered voters picked from the 36 states of the federation and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) of which 6,592 were males and 3,702 were females.
In a statement signed by its coordinator, Dr. Ayo Alao, the group said its questions were framed in a way that the questionnaire sought to draw information on what participants knew about political parties in the country.
