The current waves of Nigerian opinion polls are nothing but false, sensational and fabricated statements by spin doctors and political merchants, President, Civil Rights Congress, Kaduna, Malam Shehu Sani, has said. Speaking yesterday on the backdrop of controversies surrounding opinion polls few days to the April general elections, Sani said that Nigerian pollsters are paid fortune tellers, entrepreneurial seers and false prophets.
“They have a familiar penchant for forecasting election victories for incumbents and allotting marginal votes for the opposition. Majority of Nigerians have never heard of or seen a pollster in their villages, towns or cities but only to read of their opinion on papers.
“Nigerian pollsters imagine and coupled results in their offices and homes and churn it out as a product of a conducted survey. Over the years and prelude to elections, they have a consistent but fraudulent pattern of predicting victories for incumbents and their paymasters,” Sani said.
He advised Nigerians to disregard the made-up and make believe opinion polls and go ahead to vote for candidates that will best represent and defend their interests.
