The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has released the final list of governorship candidates for upcoming 2019 elections.
In the candidates list obtained by Okay, All Progressives Congress (APC) was excluded in both Rivers and Zamfara states.
Okay reported that a court of appeal sitting in Port Harcourt, Rivers state, had ruled the party cannot field candidates for the forthcoming elections.
However, a similar federal high court sitting in Abuja had ruled that the party did not conduct valid primaries in Zamfara and therefore is ineligible to field candidates for the elections.
INEC released in the list a total of 1,066 candidates to participate for governorship elections to be conducted in 29 states.
