JUST IN: “It’s Dubious” – Tinubu Reacts As Peter Obi Leads In NOI Poll On 2023 Elections
JUST IN: “It’s Dubious” – Tinubu has reacted as Peter Obi leads in NOI Poll on 2023 Elections.
News ToGo learned that the All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential Campaign Council on Thursday said that the candidate of the ruling party in the upcoming 2023 Elections, Bola Ahmed Tinubu is unmoved by a presidential survey conducted by frontline polling company, NOI polls.
It was reported that a new opinion poll on the fortunes of the candidates for the 2023 presidential elections released this morning by ANAP foundation shows Peter Obi of the Labour Party holding a significant lead over both Tinubu and Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
In the nationwide poll conducted this month, Obi, a former governor of Anambra State, stands at 21% while both Tinubu and Atiku are tied in second place with 13% each. Rabiu Musa Kwankwanso of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) is at a distant fourth with only 3%.
But reacting to the outcome of the poll, the APC Presidential Campaign Council in a statement signed by its Director of Media and Publicity, Bayo Onanuga, described the NOI polls as “dubious”, Politics Nigeria reports.
According to the council, the NOI polls are not dependable at all.
“We are unperturbed by these dubious and unreliable statistics because our research shows that NOI Polls have been off the mark at critical election periods in recent times,” the statement by Onanuga said.
Furthermore, it noted for example that preparatory to the March 2015 presidential elections, NOI published in October 2014 the results of a “Viability Poll” which used the concepts of Familiarity and Net Favourability Position to survey.
“In the results, NOI claimed that President Goodluck Jonathan has the best overall familiarity rating at 99% and Net Favourability Probability of ±25.
“By contrast, NOI dismissed the then All Progressives Congress candidate, Muhammadu Buhari as a ‘borderline candidate’ who needed ‘huge public relations’ to shore up his performance.
“But when the Nigerian people went to the polls, who won? The APC candidate and now President, Muhammadu Buhari.
“This is not the only instance when the NOI has turned its political bias in an election period to fraudulent statistics”, the council stated.
ANAP foundation has traditionally organised political opinion polls ahead of each of the presidential elections since 2011 and are conducted by NOI polls.
President Bola Tinubu has appointed three new persons.
He wrote a letter to the Nigerian Senate to confirm the appointees as required by the constitution.

The new ministerial appointees by Tinubu are:
1. DR Jamila Bio
2. Balarebe Abbas and
3. Olawale Olawande.
The President had appoint over 40 Ministers before now making him the first Nigerian President with the highest number of Ministers. With the appointment of the three persons, the number of his Ministers would be around 50- a number no past President had matched.
CSU has finally released Tinubu’s records.
News ToGo learned that Chicago State University (CSU) has complied with a court order to release the academic records of President Bola Tinubu, as requested by Atiku Abubakar, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate in the recent elections.
Following a directive from the US district court for the northern district of Illinois over the weekend, CSU provided the requested academic records.
TheCable reports that the university confirmed that the format of the certificate in question matched Tinubu’s replacement dated June 27, 1997. However, the gender raises doubt. This is because Tinubu filled ”Male” and the university in the new document addressed him as ”Mr”, but some transcripts reportedly show ”F” which suggests ”Female”. This raises doubt in the issue.
However, Atiku and his legal team are following up on the issue after alleging serious discrepancies in Tinubu’s academic records. They also claim that those inconsistencies will help them prove that he was not fit to contest for President of Nigeria.
Recall that Tinubu made serious effort to block the release of his records but the US courts ruled in Atiku’s favour. Atiku and his legal team will now go ahead to prove their case concerning the inconsistencies they discovered.
Tribunal has sacked an APC Governor and declared PDP winner.
News ToGo learned that the Nasarawa State Governorship Election Petition Tribunal, on Monday, nullified the victory of Governor Abdullahi Sule of the All Progressives Congress, APC.
The panel led by Justice Ezekiel Ajayi, while delivering the judgment via zoom, said Emmanuel Ombudagu of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, is the winner.
Out of three members of the panel, two of the justices agreed that the election was won by the PDP while one judge disagreed. Ezekiel maintained that the petitioner was able to prove his case beyond reasonable doubt.
Meanwhile, former Governors Abdullahi Adamu and Tanko Al-makura were among other political dignitaries present at the court.
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) had declared Abdullahi Sule the winner of the governorship election in Nasarawa State in March.
Prof Ishaya Tanko, the INEC returning officer said that the APC candidate polled a total of 347,209 votes to defeat his closest opponent, David Ombugadu, the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) who got 283, 016 votes.
