Forerunners' officials, at a press briefing told newsmen at the Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ) Press Centre, Iyaganku, Ibadan, that 58.2 per cent of the non-partisan persons in the zone had declared their support for Jonathan's re-election come 2015. Director-General of the group, Hareter Babatunde Oralusi, said the group arrived at the percentage of the non-partisan persons willing to support the President's re-election based on an independent survey (opinion poll) conducted by the group.
According to him, "the phase one of the poll conducted in the South West is to determine the number of the people registered with political parties and the statistics show that 14.6 per cent of the population in the region are card carrying members of one political party or the other and this indicated that 85.4 per cent are non-partisan.
"The phase two is to determine the size of non-partisan general public in the South West that is willing to support President Goodluck Jonathan's re-election in 2015 and the outcome showed that 58.2 per cent of the non-partisan persons were willing to support President Jonathan's re-election.
"Out of the voting population, 12.6 per cent of non-partisan persons were undecided on who they were willing to support, while 29.2 per cent of non-partisan persons were willing to support other candidates from different political parties," the DG stated.
Oralusi said the 2015 Presidential election in Nigeria would be similar to President Barrack Obama's re-election based on the result of the survey and could be predicted if necessary machineries were put in place.
"President Goodluck Jonathan will not only be re-elected as president but he will be re-elected with overwhelming majority votes."
