Sanwo-Olu, AbdulRazaq, PDP’s Fubara, NNPP’s Yusuf, LP’s Otti tipped to win guber polls
The governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Rivers State, Siminialayi Fubara, has come first in a poll conducted by ANAP foundation.

The statewide opinion poll, commissioned by Anap Foundation and conducted by NOIPolls Limited, was concluded in October. The Poll revealed a substantially close race between Fubara and Tonye Cole of the All Progressives Congress (APC). Magnus Abe of Social Democratic Party (SDP) and Dumo Owukori Lulu-Briggs of Accord Party (A) emerged as runners-up in that order.

The results showed a small lead for Fubara with 14 per cent of voters proposing to vote for him if the governorship election were to be conducted today; and 11 per cent proposing to vote for Cole. Abe was third with six per cent and Lulu-Briggs was fourth, with four per cent.

Fubara’s three-point lead at this stage is not sufficient to separate him from a pack of candidates, showing a severely fragmented race.
IN Kano State, the poll revealed a substantially close race between Abba Yusuf of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) and Nasiru Gawuna of APC with an 18-point gap between the duo and other candidates.

The results showed a significant lead for Yusuf with 29 per cent of voters proposing to vote for him if the governorship election were to be conducted today; and 21 per cent proposing to vote for Gawuna, who fell to second place. Mohammed Sadiq Wali of PDP was a distant third with only three per cent of voters proposing to vote for him.

IN Lagos State, the poll revealed a significant lead by Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu of APC, with Azeez Olajide Adediran of PDP and Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour of Labour Party (LP) both trailing behind distantly.

The results showed a significant lead for Sanwo-Olu with 30 per cent of voters proposing to vote for him; eight per cent proposing to vote for Adediran and Rhodes-Vivour was a distant third with for percent.

Sanwo-Olu’s 22-point lead at this stage is very significant, as the opposition voters are fragmented and shared between two main challengers in the ratio 30:8:4.

IN Abia State, the poll revealed a significant lead by Alex Otti of LP, with Uchenna Ikonne of PDP and Gregory Charles Ibe of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) both trailing.

IN Kwara State, the poll confirmed a dominant lead by Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRaqaz of APC, with Shuaibu Abdullahi of PDP and Hakeem Lawal of SDP both trailing behind respectively. 

The results showed a significant lead for AbdulRaqaz with 30 per cent of voters proposing to vote for him if the governorship election were to be conducted today; and 11 per cent proposing to vote Abdullahi while Lawal was a distant third with only three per cent.
