Full list: PDP outshines APC on inauguration day, clinches 15 of 29 guber seats 

 

Of the 29 new governors sworn in yesterday, 15 are from the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) while 14 are from the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Four years ago, the table was the other way round; the statistics then were in favour of the APC which swept 20 states into its fold while the PDP’s umbrella was only able to accommodate nine states.
The internal crisis that rocked the APC could be said to be one of the major causes of the turnaround. In the build-up to the elections, the party was unable to unite its members in the various states, causing the ruling party to lose its strongholds like Zamfara and Imo.
Although some states initially under the PDP such as Kwara and Gombe fell to the APC, the main opposition party was able to win over a good number of “progressives” states.
