An online poll organised by the Tinubu Must Go TMG movement, asking Nigerians who among the leading presidential candidates they would vote for in the 2027 presidential election, has returned former Vice President and African Democratic Congress ADC presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, as the most preferred choice.

The poll, which ran for 24 hours from September 24 to 25, attracted a total of 109,799 respondents. Of that figure, 80,809 votes, representing 73.6 per cent, went to the Atiku/Amaechi ticket, while 24,519 votes, representing 22.3 per cent, went to the Nigeria Democratic Congress NDC ticket of Peter Obi and Rabiu Kwankwaso. The remaining 4,471 respondents, representing 4.1 per cent, voted for other candidates in the poll.
According to a statement by the pollsters, the margin held steady from early in the exercise. “Approximately seven minutes after voting commenced, the figures stood at about 76.6 percent in support of the Atiku/Amaechi ticket and 20.9 percent for Obi/Kwankwaso,” the statement read.
It added that “as participation expanded dramatically, the percentages settled and remained remarkably consistent.”
The TMG movement, which is promoted by Abba Hikima, has grown in reputation for its opposition to the Tinubu administration over hardship occasioned by its economic policies.
The group noted that a comprehensive report documenting the methodology, participation growth, timestamp analysis, reach, limitations and organisational significance of the exercise would be published in due course.
