A fierce contest is expected to take place on Saturday as 80 female candidates square up against 987 male for 29 governorship seats in the states.
Similarly, that day, elections into the Federal Council Territory (FCT) area councils for chairmen and councillors will also be conducted by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
Just as it was penultimate week in the Presidential and National Assembly elections, the governorship race is largely going to be a straight fight between the candidates of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and those of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
In the 2015 general elections, about 368 candidates vied for the governorship seats in 29 states, 58 of them were APC and PDP candidates.
Governorship elections won’t be taking place in seven states. The states are: Kogi, Anambra, Bayelsa, Osun, Ondo, Edo and Ekiti.
Out of the 1,067 candidates vying for the governorship seats in 29 states on Saturday, 28 of them are APC and 29 are PDP candidates.
The APC is not presenting governorship candidate in Rivers State due to a court ruling on its governorship primaries.
According to New Telegraph findings, only 80 of the 1,067 governorship candidates are female, representing 7.5 per cent of the governorship hopeful.
All of the 29 states have female as their gubernatorial candidates except three states. The states with no female governorship candidates are: Borno, Kastina and Plateau states.
The Change Advocacy Party (CAP) recorded the highest number of female gubernatorial flag bearers by a political party. It has seven women as candidates.

The female interest in politics these days is quite impressive. It takes emotional beings to really lead with feelings for the masses in Nigerian politics. The male politicians have crossed the rubicon; they have dined and wined with the devil, so they don't care.
