'Atiku again? no way sir' - Social media reacts to poll that projects victory for Atiku ahead of Tinubu, Obi in 2023

A recent poll by the media platform, Thisday Live has projected victory for Atiku Abubakar, the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

The result of the results states that the former vice president still boasts of 23 states, where he is likely to get 25 percent, while his All Progressives Congress (APC) rival, Bola Tinubu, is confident of 20 states, where he can also pull his weight.

It, however, noted that the changing realities suggest that there is an increasing likelihood that the first ballot at the February 25 presidential election may not produce a clear winner.

By implication, there may be a run-off in the presidential bout before a clear winner is returned by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), ThisDay Live reports.

According to the polls, Peter Obi and Rabiu Kwankwaso, the presidential candidates of the Peoples Democratic Party and the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) will claim the third and fourth spots and will fall short in many states to satisfy the constitutional requirement of 25 percent of votes cast in 24 states.

What happened between Willian Jefferson & Atiku about the $100 000 bribe ? What did OBJ say about Atiku lately ? What did Atiku say in Kaduna You don’t need to vote a Yoruba candidate or Ibo candidate."
