The governorship election petition tribunals across the 28 states where governorship elections were held on March 18 have commenced hearing and giving verdicts across the states.

According to the Electoral Act 2022, the tribunals were mandated to hear and give their verdicts within 180 days.

So far, 20 of the 28 governors have known their fates at the tribunals. The elections of 18 governors have been affirmed, while the tribunals have sacked Governors Abba Kabir Yusuf of Kano and Abdullahi Sule of Nasarawa.

However, the tribunals are expected to determine the fate of eight governors by either sacking them or affirming their victory in the 2023 election.

Below is the list of the governors:

Alex Otti of Abia state. The Abia state governorship election petition tribunal has fixed Friday, October 6, to deliver its verdict on the fate of the Labour Party governor.

The victory of Governor Babagana Zulum of Borno state is being challenged before the state governorship election petition tribunal, and the court may deliver its verdict this month.

Mal Umar Namadi Danmodi of Jigawa

The APC Governor Umar Namadi of Jigawa was declared the winner of the March 18 governorship election in the state.

Namadi’s victory was rejected by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the state, but it cannot be ascertained if the opposition has challenged the outcome at the tribunal.

Dr Dikko Umar Radda of Katsina

Governor Dikko Umar of Katsina was declared the winner of the 2023 governorship election in the state. His victory was neither challenged nor rejected by the northwest state’s opposition party.

Nasir Idris of Kebbi

The victory of Governor Nasir Idris, his deputy, Abubakar Umar Tafida and APC is being challenged by the PDP and its candidate, Aminu Bande.

The state governorship election petition tribunal sitting in Birnin Kebbi recently hinted that it may soon deliver its verdict on the suit filed against the governor.

Other states Yobe, Kwara, Niger

The 2023 governorship election petition tribunals in at least 28 states where the March 18 governorship election was held have sacked at least two governors within five months they resumed sitting.

The Nigeria Electoral Act provided that aggrieved parties are to file their petitions against the winning party within 21 days, and the tribunals are expected to hear and deliver their verdicts on the petitions within 180 days.
