The Independent National Electoral Commission
has fixed dates for the conduct of governorship
elections in Kogi and Bayelsa states. The commission said in Abuja on Friday that
governorship election will hold in Kogi State on
November 21 while that of Bayelsa State is to hold
on December 5, 2015. This information was contained in a statement by
INEC’s Chairman, Information and Voter Education
Committee, Dr. Chris Iyimoga. Iyimoda added that primaries for the elections
shall be held on or before August 23, 2015 and
September 5, 2015, respectively for the two states
in accordance with the provisions of the Electoral
Act 2014 (as amended). The commission added that campaigns by political
parties shall commence on July 24 and end
on November 29 in Kogi while that of Bayelsa will
be from September 6 to December 4, 2015. Governorship elections did not hold in the affected
states during the last April 11 governorship
election because the tenure of the two governors
have yet to end. The two states are in the hand of the main
opposition party, the Peoples Democratic Party. However, while Governor Idris Wada of Kogi State
is battling with the All Progressives Congress,
which has made serious incursion into the state,
Governor Seriake Dickson on the other, is facing
internal rebellion within his party in Bayelsa State. The APC had the upper hand in Kogi State during
the last general electios. Meanwhile, there are also rumours that Wada may
be denied his party’s ticket for the election due to
what a member of the National Working Committee
of the PDP attributed to the governor’s “poor
performance.” “The information we are having is that Wada is not
doing well and that if we field him, we may lose the
state,” the source added. Indication that Wada may not have things easy
appears to be manifesting. When the governor visited the party headquarters
over the cancellation of the ad-hoc delegates for
the Ward Congresses in the state 10 days ago, he
stormed out of the party national secretariat,
shortly after meeting with the Acting National
Chairman of the party, Prince Uche Secondus. Wada, who arrived at the party secretariat early in
the morning to have a meeting the NWC, was kept
waiting for hours.

After which, Ondo, Rivers, Akwa Ibom and Abia States follow!

From my calculations, PDP may go into 2019 elections with only 7 Governors and a handful of Senators and Reps!
