As the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) holds its governorship pri­maries today, an opinion poll conducted by Accu­rate Resources, a media and marketing research firm, has put business mo­gul and guber aspirant in Abia State, Dr. Uche Ogah, in the lead among 13 contestants in the state.

This is coming at a time when the Ogah Campaign Organisation told its sup­porters to discountenance a news item on the Broad­casting Corporation of Abia State that there would be two venues for accredita­tion and voting in today’s governorship primaries.

The poll conducted be­tween November 22 and 28 on 1,000 prospective voters in each of the 17 local gov­ernment areas in the state saw Ogah polling 15, 634 out of 17, 000 votes, rep­resenting 82.49 per cent. He was trailed by former Group Managing Direc­tor of Diamond Bank Plc, Alex Otti of the All Pro­gressives Grand Alliance (APGA), who garnered 760 votes. Other aspirants, like Ochiagha Reagan Ufomba, polled 519; Senator Eny­innaya Abaribe, 501; Eric Acho Nwakanma, 481; Chief Chikwe Udensi, 207 and Okey Emuchay, 14.

In the opinion, Mac Wabara, polled 14 votes; Senator Nkechi Nwogu, 105; Friday Nwosu, 105, Chief Iheanocho Okezie, 70; Dr. Okezie Ikpeazu, 81; Chief Emeka Nwogu, 14 and Chief Chris Akomas 43.

The poll, which was ran­domly selected, was carried out simultaneously in all the councils, at work places, streets and motor garages.
