Seven states exempted from governorship polls

Saturday’s governorship election  will not hold in seven states 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 various times or `off season’.

This was mainly due to court judgements that nullified the election of their governors at various times in the past.

However, House 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.
