In a Facebook poll of 7,951 respondents, 39.8% chose “Rivers State Governor Rotimi Amaechi”. How we count
From the opening day, Rivers State Governor Rotimi Amaechi ran away with it — 41% on day one, settling at 39.8% by the finish, never once losing the lead across the poll's two-day run. Fashola shadowed him the whole way but couldn't close the gap, finishing at 26.9% with no turning point in between.
The real story is the collapse behind them: Oshiomole and Fayemi tied dead-even at 10.8%, Osibanjo trailed at 8.8%, and Tinubu — a former Lagos governor — mustered just 3%. Nigeria, the UK, the US and South Africa all leaned Amaechi; only smaller pockets like Canada, Malaysia and Finland preferred Fashola.
