The governorship election will not hold in
seven states of the federation and the
Federal Capital Territory (FCT).
The affected states, Anambra, Bayelsa,
Edo, Ekiti, Kogi, Ondo and Osun, will not
be participating because their
governorship elections held at different
times or `off season’, the News Agency
of Nigeria (NAN) reports.
This was mainly due to court judgments
that nullified the election of their
governors at different times in the past.

However, the State Houses of Assembly
elections will be conducted in all the 36
states.
The FCT will not witness both elections
because it is run by a minister, who is
appointed by the President, with laws
made by the National Assembly.
But Saturday will witness election of new
chairmen and councillors in the six Area
Councils of the territory, namely Abaji,
Abuja Municipal, Bwari, Gwagwalada,
Kuje and Kwali.
Meanwhile, Legit.ng had reported that
the Defence headquarters reiterated on
Friday, March 8, that the role of the
Armed Forces in the ongoing elections is
to support the police in providing
security for voters to exercise their
franchise .
