Young Progressives Party (YPP), Kwara state chapter, has reiterated that its governorship candidate, Alhaji Yakub Gobir, would emerge victorious in the 2023 election in the state, basing the confidence on the general acceptability of Gobir across the 16 local government areas of the state.
According to the YPP, the result of an independent pollster by ANAP Foundation has shown that over 50 percent of Kwarans have rejected the second term bid of Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq.
YPP’s spokesperson Oyewole Oladele, while reacting to ANAP Poll on Kwara 2023 governorship election, opined that the result of the poll is an unfavorable news for AbdulRazaq.
He noted that majority of Kwarans already passed vote of no confidence in the APC led administration in the state, adding that “an independent poll of gubernatorial candidates across select states in Nigeria released on Channels TV flagship show, Politics Today, shows that incumbent Governor AbdulRazaq is in a shaky lead ahead of the 2023 elections.
“The poll commissioned by ANAP Foundation and conducted by globally accredited NOI Polls, insights from the exercise show that barely 30 percent of Kwarans are open to giving AbdulRazaq a second chance in office, while candidates of PDP and SDP come 2nd and 3rd respectively.
“It is worthy of note that whopping size of undecided voters which topple the estimated number of loyalists is not in favour of the Governor’s second term bid.
“A comprehensive evaluation of the electorate which supports other candidates or remains undecided reveals that over 50 percent of Kwarans will not vote in AbdulRahman, should elections hold today.”
