The opinion poll which held between Monday 18th
and 21st February, 2019 conducted by members of the Expose
Communications nationwide which predicted President Buhari 75% chances of
returning back to office in a democratic setting has been vindicated by the outcome of the February 23 presidential
and National Assembly elections. The poll carried out by at least 1,500
field officers spread across the 36 States of the federation became a formidable
template for measuring the possible direction the elections would go. The poll showed
clearly among others that the slippery nature of Nigerian politics, the
betrayal factor as well as the absence of strong political Institutions were
going to play major roles in bringing back President Buhari .The poll
was overwhelming in the critical role played by the elites with
statistics showing at least 45% of them not voting for Buhari. Furthermore, the poll predicted a shift in the hinterland, the
villages , the farmers with 65% of them favouring Buhari's return. They went on to vote massively for him. In addition, the poll showed a clear pattern with 70% of those in the South East and South West rooting for the PDP
while only a margin of 30% were expected to vote for President Buhari. The same
pattern was observed in the South South where poll results showed a strong
preference for PDP. From the poll result it was found out that Buhari’s
influence, especially his cult like image will play a sharp role in favoring
him rather than money factor. Above all, the poll found out that incumbency factor would
play a major role with a whopping 65% of Nigerians believing so. The poll, contrary to ominous predictions by prophets only showed 25% of Nigerians
expressing fears. 65% thought there
would be peaceful outcome. However, now that President Buhari has emerged
winner, a pilot opinion poll hurriedly conducted within the federal Capital are of the
opinion that he should shed his ethnic bias, spread federal appointments,
ensure justice, equity and fairness. While 45% of respondents want him to
concentrate on provision of portable water supply, 35% wants him to consolidate
on provision of regular power supply; the remaining 20% say he should just make
Nigeria work again. Also the poll wants President Buhari to ensure free
medical healthcare and free education for Nigerians across board. They want the
President to open up the country for real-time investors and remove whatever impediment there is to employment. They especially want him to stop perceived secret
employments in plum Establishments. Nevertheless, members of the Expose
Communications hereby congratulate Mr. President on this democratic victory.The opinion poll which held between Monday 18th
