- The 2023 general election has remained a historic event in the Nigeria political milieu following many unforeseen defeats
- Many second-term governors were being shaken by the advent of the third force, both in the northern and southern parts of Nigeria
- The Labour Party defeated the dominant PDP in Abia, while NNPP unseated the ruling APC in Kano, and governors-elect are already becoming headaches for the outgoing governors
Following the March 18 governorship and state house of assembly election, some state governors lost their holds in their states to their major challengers.
The affected governors are those who have served their states for 2 terms of 8 years, but after their terms, they could not retain their people’s trust and ensure their preferred candidate succeeded them.
