RABIU Kwankwaso says many of his supporters are not on social media, faulting several polls predicting the presidential elections. Several polls have been released ahead of the elections with many of them predicting victory for Labour Party’s Peter Obi
But Kwankwaso who is running under the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) has dismissed such projections, saying they don’t represent the realities on the ground.
“These things are on the telephone. Over 90 percent of my supporters don’t even know Twitter. They don’t even know social media,” he said Thursday on Channels Television’s election programme The 2023 Verdict, monitored by News Point Nigeria.
“If you want to meet them, go to Wuse Market, go to the markets in Kano; go to the market in Sabo, Ibadan, go to markets in Rivers and the roads and so on, and ask people.”
According to him, the sample size for these polls is insufficient and does not reflect the wishes of the people.
They only have a few goals one of which he claimed is to get donations.
“These are being sponsored to get donations,” he said during the show, warning that such polls may throw the country into trouble.
