…Buhari, Atiku, Moghalu, Ize-Iyamu, others make list
A group of online opinion pollsters-Truly Independent Diaspora Electoral Officers (TIDEO), has sensationally revealed that eight presidential aspirants will come tops in the February 2019 poll.
In its release dated November 1, which was obtained by our correspondent, the TIDEO came short of declaring who will actually win in the election.
Of the 61 political parties and their respective candidates it thrust out in its opinion poll, only eight contenders could win and become the next president, according to the group.
They include President Muhammadu Buhari of the All Progressives Congress (APC), former Vice President Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Omoyele Sowore of Africa Action Congress (AAC), Fela Durotoye of Alliance for New Nigeria (ANN) and Kingsley Moghalu of the Young Progressive Party (YPP).
Others in the first eight of likely winners include Rev. David Esosa Ize-Iyamu of Better Nigeria Progressive Party (BNPP), former Cross River State Governor Donald Duke of Social Democratic Party (SDP) and former Education Minister, Obiageli Ezekwesili, of Allied Congress Party of Nigeria (ACPN).
The TIDEO, however, scored 21 other parties next in that order. These include Moses Shipi of All Blending Party (ABP), Samuel Eke of Green Party of Nigeria (GPN), Mark Emmanuel of United Patriots (UP), Hamisu Santuraki of Mega Party of Nigeria (MPN), Moses Ajibiowu of National Unity Party (NUP), Onwekoafo Ikechukwu of Advanced Congress of Democrats (ACD) and Aliyu Ibrahim of African People Alliance (APP).
