Among the notable governors preparing to hand over their positions are Okezie Ikpeazu of Abia, Udom Emmanuel of Akwa Ibom, Samuel Ortom of Benue, and many more.

A throwback to when the PDP bromance between Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike and his his Sokoto State counterpart, Aminu Tambuwal, bloomed.

Each governor will pass the baton to their respective successors, representing a significant shift in political leadership across the nation.

As the countdown to May 29 approaches, all eyes are on the incoming governors and the challenges they will face as they assume their new roles.
