Tinubu Leads Oxford-Metro Poll Ahead of 2027 Elections

President Bola Tinubu emerged as the frontrunner in the National Trust Poll, conducted by Oxford Metro Analytics, ahead of the 2027 general elections. He finished ahead of Peter Obi, the candidate from the NDC, and former Vice President Atiku Abubakar.

Festus Keyamo, the Aviation and Aerospace Development Minister, responded to the poll results on Sunday, September 13, 2026, by reposting a report on his X account accompanied by a smiling emoji, without further commentary. The minister's post elicited mixed reactions from Nigerians on social media, with some questioning the poll's relevance to real electoral outcomes.

The poll adds to the ongoing discourse surrounding the upcoming presidential contest, reflecting the popularity of Nigeria's leading political figures as the elections approach.
