Candidates for the major political parties in the state include, Mr Valentine Ozigbo of PDP,
Sen. Andy Uba of APC and Prof. Charles Soludo of APGA.
Vanguard reports that election won’t hold in 86 polling units of the state. According to the report, the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC Chairman Prof. Mahmood Yakubu said that electoral materials won’t be deployed in those affected units because there no record of registered voters.
