An
online poll set up by African Independent Television AIT, AIT belongs to one of President Goodluck Jonathan’s closest
friends, yes it does Well, the poll has further underlined his unpopularity as the opposition
candidate, Muhammadu Buhari, is currently defeating him by at least 75
per cent.
To
add insult to injury, AIT has since last Saturday been running a
documentary aimed at hurting the public perception of Buhari. The
hour-long documentary, “The Real Buhari”, reportedly costs the Jonathan
campaign N5 million each time it is aired. Lol
The
campaign also made a copy of the documentary available online but
rather than do damage to Buhari’s support, it seems to have further
emboldened his supporters to troop online to vote massively for him.
In
reaction to the first of those unfavorable polls, Reno Omokri, who
serves as Mr. Jonathan’s social media aide, rushed out to set up another
poll on Facebook he called “BuildNigeria”.
But
when it became clear that Buhari was defeating Jonathan in his own
poll, Reno manipulated the poll and hurriedly closed it after managing
to put Jonathan ahead by a mere 1%.
