The current political landscape suggests that the election will be highly competitive, and the outcome will be closely watched in the days ahead. The APC, facing internal challenges arising from unresolved issues in its gubernatorial primaries, adds an element of uncertainty to the political dynamics, potentially influencing the final results.
