Europe Based Poll Predicts That 2019 Will Favour APC

Zeus Polls, an independent Europe-based pollsters has predicted that the All Progressives Congress (APC) will take over most states in the 2019 gubernatorial elections.

According to NAN, Zeus Polls correctly predicted Gov. Willie Obiano’s and Gov-elect Kayode Fayemi’s victories in the last gubernatorial elections held in Anambra and Ekiti.

The latest Zeus Polls findings signed by Tanko Suleiman, Zeus Polls Chief Operating Officer, Berlin, Germany, was made available to Newsmen in Lagos on Tuesday.

The polls posited that despite a seemingly voters’ antipathy to the APC in the upcoming 2019 general elections, the party was favoured to win the 2019 governorship elections in key states. Adding that 51 per cent of voters polled in Kaduna State expressed a desire to return incumbent Gov. Nasir el-Rufai come 2019.

“65 per cent of voters polled in Lagos State want incumbent Gov. Ambode returned in 2019 while 58 per cent of voters polled in Edo State say they will return incumbent Gov. Godwin Obaseki.

“In the PDP-held Rivers State, 65 per cent of voters polled do not want incumbent Gov. 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 Gov. Abdullahi Ganduje returning in 2019, as 60 per cent say they will vote for any candidate supported by former Gov Kwankwanso’s Kwankwasiyya Movement,” 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.
