He said those who are qualified to vote in the polls are from 23 local governments cutting across 255 wards and the 3 senatorial zones.

According to him, a fresh survey that Kaduna Progressive Groups commissioned in November 2022, APC is still expected to win the governor’s race in Kaduna State in 2023.

He stated that the opinion poll is based on the following criteria for candidates, which included experience, competence, empathy, mindset, trust, popularity, and innovation as our scoring points.

He also mentioned that there are many opinion polls currently running, but ours is different in that we gave people more time to decide and that only Kaduna residents were included.

“Voting in our Kaduna state Governorship opinion polls was different from voting in other groups where voters from other states may participate.

“In our system, a participant can only cast one vote, while other people can cast several votes, “he said.
