This is even as two other original survey firms, Forward Magazine and Zevland Ventures Limited tilted the president who is the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate to win the election with at least a margin of 17 per cent.
According to the Nigeria Polls and Survey group, it its result were based on a five-item survey managed on a total of 10,294 registered electorates 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.
Dr. Ayo Alao, the coordinator of the group, in his comment said its questions were enclosed in a way that the opinion poll sought to draw information on what participants knew about political parties in Nigeria.
The questions included in the survey were whether participants took permanent voters’ card (PVCs) and whether they were aware of the poll date as well as whether they were eager to vote on Saturday and who the respondents’ preferred presidential aspirant would be in the 2015 presidential election.
According to the survey, a total of 5508 citizens specified their readiness to vote for the PDP presidential aspirant, Mr. Jonathan compared to a total 4786 respondents who prefered APC’s Buhari.
The comment further stated: “The data analysis shows that the Peoples Democratic Party’s candidate, Dr. Goodluck Jonathan, may likely have a better showing in the next Saturday’s presidential election in south-south, south-east, and the Federal Capital Territory, while General Mohammed Buhari of the All Progressive Congress may poll more votes in north-west and north-east.
“South-west and north-central remain largely the battle ground that may swing victory either way.
“A new dimension to the social class dynamics is the fact that enthusiasts for the restructuring of the Nigerian State in this category may find exciting, the steps just taken by President Jonathan to ensure the implementation of the recommendation of the National Conference. This would be a plus for the president’s candidacy.”
The primary primeval factors like ethnic affiliations, religion and social class were also indicated in the analysis as factors that may influence the poll.
However, Forward Magazine, a research and publishing company since 1995 anchored by Chike Uchime and Zevland Ventures Limited, another leading research and security consultancy firm led by Daniel Dickson-Okezie, said in its poll that President Jonathan was set to defeat General Buhari of the APC with at least a margin of 17 per cent on Saturday.
