With the results of 23 states announced so far in the 2023 Gubernatorial elections by the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC the All-Progressives Congress Party is maintaining a comfortable lead.

 

Out of the 23 states the APC has clinched 15 states which include Lagos, Ogun, Sokoto, Jigawa, Kwara, Niger, Benue, Kaduna, Katsina, Borno, Cross River, Gombe, Yobe, Ebonyi and Nasarawa.

 

The People’s Democratic Party on its part emerged victorious in 7 states Rivers, Akwa Ibom, Bauchi, Plateau, Zamfara, Taraba and Delta. 

 

Kano State voted in a keenly contested Gubernatorial election for the New Nigeria People’s Party, NNPP.

 

Major shifts in the elections were recorded in Plateau(APC to PDP), Sokoto (PDP to APC),  Benue (PDP to APC), Zamfara(APC to PDP) and Kano (APC to NNPP). 

 

Elections in Kebbi and Adamawa states were declared inconclusive, while the collation results in Abia and Enugu states were postponed because of issues of violence and electoral issues that need to be rectified.

 

PDP retained its dominance in Akwa Ibom, Rivers, Taraba and Delta states which has been the political equation since 1999. 

 

 

Just like the botched third republic in 1993 that had a Catholic Priest Reverend Father Moses Adasu, thirty years(30) later Reverend Father Hyacinth Alia has emerged another priest that has won the Benue State Gubernatorial elections.

 

The elections which held across the 28 states of the federation was marred by violence and low voter turnout. Observer Groups have estimated that over 20 people lost their lives during the Gubernatorial elections.
