Although
he occupies the third highest position in Nigeria, over 700 participants in a
poll believe Bukola Saraki will most likely leave the ruling party.
Mr. Saraki, the current senate president, was
one of the six politicians available as options for participants in the Premium
Times opinion poll.
All the listed politicians had something in
common: they all joined Nigeria’s ruling APC from the Peoples Democratic Party,
PDP, in the build up to the 2015 general election. This fact, may have been
responsible for 13.7 per cent of participants (433) saying they believe all of
them will return to the PDP.
A total of 3,170 readers participated in the
online poll which lasted for five days and was carried out in a way that made
it impossible for a respondent to vote more than once from the same computer or
mobile device.
The participants were asked a single question:
Who among these politicians do you think will go back to the PDP?
About 22.6 per cent of the participants (716
voters) said they believe Mr. Saraki, former governor of Kwara, would go back
to the PDP.
Mr. Saraki was closely followed by Rabiu
Kwankwaso, a former governor of Kano State, with 20.6 per cent (652
participants) saying they believe Mr. Kwankwaso will return to the PDP.
