The firm predicts the states that will be won by the top three candidates in the election, namely:

- Peter Obi of the Labour Party (LP)
2023 presidential election set to be the tightest, says SBM
According to the SBM, the 2023 presidential election is set to be the tightest in Nigeria’s history. As such, the research firm predicts that there will be a run-off, the first in the country’s history.
Nevertheless, the SBM gave a caveat that “a week is a long time in politics”.
