processed at the end of the two-week polling exercise which ended on Wednesday,
last week, as the respondents provided all the measurable answers that were
germane to the analysis of the data supplied.
“We were able to process 3,400 questionnaires in Ondo North; 4,000
questionnaires in Ondo Centraland 1,600 questionnaires in Ondo South and the
choices were among the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) candidate, Barr. Rotimi
Akeredolu; the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate, Olusola Oke and Labour
candidate, Dr. Olusegun Mimiko.
“The analysis of the responses as to whom the respondents would likely
vote for on Saturday October 20 showed that the candidate of the Labour, Dr.
Mimiko, was the most preferred in all the three Senatorial Districts with as
much as 85percent of the respondents preferring him,” the statement read.
