Abia: Otti Leads The Way In NOI Polls

By Ugochukwu Onyeocha
A recent survey carried by NOI Polls Limited in Abia State has shown that the governorship candidate of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), Dr. Alex Otti, is having a significant lead over his closest rival and candidate of the ruling Peoples? Democratic Party (PDP), Dr. Okezie Ikpeazu, with a twenty-seven percent point gap between the two.
When asked who voters will be casting their votes for in the coming February 2015 governorship elections in Abia State, Dr. Alex Otti led the list of candidates with 45 per cent, while Dr. Okezie Ikpeazu had 18 per cent, indicating a significant 27 per cent lead by Dr. Otti.
Other candidates such as Chikwe Udensi and Anyim Nyerere had 2 per cent and 1 per cent respectively. However, 32 per cent of those polled are either undecided (19 per cent) or sought confidentiality (13 per cent) to their choice of candidate; and could be key in deciding a winner.
The survey results also show that the former Diamond Bank boss, Otti appears to have support of voters across all age groups; particularly from first time voters of between the ages of 18 to 21 (70 per cent).
Furthermore, 24 per cent of voters in Abia-South and 21 per cent in Abia Central senatorial districts remain undecided as to their choice of candidate.
The survey shows that almost 9 in 10 eligible voters are registered to vote in the February elections, with about 8 in 10 (86 per cent) being absolutely certain that they will vote. Similarly, the working class of between 30 to 60 years, as well as Senior Citizens of age 61+, are absolutely certain they will vote.
