In reaction to this development, the Peter Obi presidential campaign organisation in a statement said:
“It is wonderful to note that the findings of Nextier’s second poll for the 2023 General Elections suggest that the message of hope of our Presidential Candidate, Mr Peter Obi, is resonating strongly with the Nigerian people.
“It demonstrates that the efforts of Nigerians from across the nation to take back their country and reshape its character and fortune to benefit all Nigerians are bearing fruit.
“We are delighted that His Excellency, Mr Peter Obi, who is seen as the burden bearer and hope for true change in Nigeria has the greatest net favorability rating among the leading presidential contenders.”
With less than three weeks to the presidential polls, Peter Obi will have a difficult hurdle to contend with as he will be doing battle with political juggernauts like Tinubu and Atiku Abubakar.
However, many political pundits have tipped Obi to become the next presidential candidate if the voter turnout is massive as predicted by electoral experts.
