Opinion: Online Polls Don’t Matter In Elections

Prior to the 2019 Presidential elections there were several online polls conducted, many of those polls predicted the candidate of the PDP, Alh Atiku Abubakar as the winner of the election, however in a twist of event President Muhammad Buhari of the APC won the election.
The 2023 Presidential elections is just three(3) days from now and there have been several online polls predicting who will become the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
Majority of the polls conducted predict Peter Gregory Obi as the winner, even polls conducted on Nairaland forecasts Obi as the winner.
In my opinion the reality is that all these online polls do not really matter because those who will vote are not even online and we witnessed this in 2019 when Atiku was favoured to be the winner over Buhari.
For example I can say that some of the people who voted on Nairaland Presidential poll have not even attained the legally approved age to participate in an election, there are Nairlanders who are below the age of eighteen (18) and they also voted for the candidate of their choice online but in reality they don’t have their PVC talkmore of voting.

Below are some polls conducted on Nairaland prior to the 2019 elections.

Here is a poll conducted on Nairaland and it favours Peter Gregory Obi as the people’s choice ‘online’

Dear Nigerians, the only way your online opinion can really count and become a reality is when you go to your polling units and vote for the candidate of your choice.
Don’t just vote online, exercise your right as a Nigerian, your candidate will not win if you only vote online and refuse vote physically.

No talk say I no warn you, no be say you go dey say dem rig election because your candidate win online and no win for election day, e fit be because you no go comot go vote.

VOTE NOT FIGHT!
DON’T SELL YOUR VOTE!

May the best candidate win!!
God bless Nigeria.
