Zeus Polls, an independent Europe-based pollsters has predicted that the All Progressives Congress, APC, may likely win most states in the 2019 gubernatorial elections.
NAN reports that Zeus Polls correctly predicted Governor Willie Obiano’s and Gov-elect Kayode Fayemi’s victories in the last gubernatorial elections held in Anambra and Ekiti.
The latest findings released on Tuesday and signed by Tanko Suleiman, Zeus Polls Chief Operating Officer, Berlin, Germany, posited that despite a seemingly voters’ antipathy to the APC in the upcoming 2019 general elections, APC was favoured to win in key states.
It noted that 51 per cent of voters polled in Kaduna State expressed a desire to return incumbent Governor Nasir el-Rufai next year.
“65 per cent of voters polled in Lagos State want incumbent Governor Ambode returned in 2019 while 58 per cent of voters polled in Edo State say they will return incumbent Governor Godwin Obaseki.
“In the PDP-held Rivers State, 65 per cent of voters polled do not want incumbent Governor Nyesom Wike back in 2019, as over 47 per cent of polled voters said they will vote Tonye Princewill, a riverine aspirant of the APC if he picks the party’s ticket.
“In Kano State, only 43 per cent of voters polled are in favour of the incumbent Governor Abdullahi Ganduje returning in 2019, as 60 per cent say they will vote for any candidate supported by former Governor Kwankwanso (of the PDP)”, it stated.
The organisation, however, said that its findings on who may likely emerge as president was still uncertain but added that going forward, it would release monthly updates, on the continuous exhaustive polling on the 2019 elections.
