The
total interest in President Buhari was 8,476 while Alhaji Atiku
had 2, 631 as he kick-starts his campaign for the Presidential election with a
special address to the Nigerian people on Facebook at 12 noon tomorrow.
According to a statement from his party, the speech will also mark the launch
of his policy
document. “In the address, the PDP flag bearer will present his vision for
Nigeria and action plan to achieve it as encapsulated in his policy document,”
the statement stressed.
Analysis
has earlier revealed that Nigerians want war against corruption, restructuring,
sustainable economic growth and development, welfare and reduction in cost of
governance to be in the document. Infoprations
has equally discovered
that The Economist’s endorsement of
the PDP candidate would not have significant contributions on his success at
the polls. Analysis reveals that Nigerians believe that
alleged corruption linked to the party and some chieftains would affect Alhaji
Atiku’s victory despite being endorsed by the renowned medium.
