After the shambolic Presidential and senatorial elections conducted by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), which declared President Muhammadu Buhari re-elected on February 23, 2019, Nigeria will again today March 9, 2019 conduct another elections across 29 states of the federation to decide the governors of the affected 29 states of the federation. From Rivers State where the ‘battle’ is fierce to Lagos State where politicians are pitching the Yoruba against the Igbo and to Imo State where out-going governor Rochas Okorocha is doing all within his powers to intimidate the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) among others, Newsbitsng.com presents you in no particular order the top contenders out of the thousands that are seeking to govern the states in Nigeria.
