Kevin, Charlyn and Kimberly, has said that an opinion poll carried out
by the firm shows that President Goodluck Jonathan of the Peoples
Democratic Party (PDP) will likely lead his All Progressives Congress
(APC) counterpart, Gen Muhammadu Buhari, with a margin of 13 per cent.
A consultant with the firm and director of Vince Network Limited, a
United Kingdom-based organisation, Mr Vince Onyekwelu, disclosed this
during a press conference in Abuja yesterday.
He said, "The cumulative aggregate is that PDP GEJ (Jonathan) scores
63% while the APC GMB (Buhari) gets 37% for the development of the
Nigerian economy and protection of basic human rights."
Onyekwelu said the poll was based on monkey survey samples of 28,000
respondents, 2,000 respondents from Facebook and Twitter, while 300
respondents were from face-to-face contacts and telephone interviews.
Speaking on the methodology of the survey, Onyekwelu said it was based
on the perception of the people and several other dynamics.
On the credibility of the survey, he said the research is credible
based on his capacity and knowledge, adding that the respondents were
randomly selected to ensure that justice was done to the survey.
He also acknowledged that Nigerians who responded to the survey saw
the war on terror as one of the major issues that would decide who
they would vote for.
Meanwhile, the Ijaws in Rivers State, under the auspices of Rivers
Ijaw Forum, have endorsed the second term bid of President Jonathan
and the governorship ambition of Chief Ezebunwo Nyesom Wike in this
year's elections.
The group, in a communiqué at the end of a one-day Rivers Ijaws Summit
in Port Harcourt, signed by Ijaw chiefs, elders, opinion leaders,
women and youths, resolved that all Rivers people of Ijaw extraction
should vote for President Jonathan and Wike in the March 28 and April
11 elections.
