2nd Term Governors Name Likely Successors For 2023

Governor Aminu Bello Masari has promised to give all aspirants equal opportunity in the primary election of the APC, but there is rising speculation in the state pointing to the managing director of the Nigeria Security Printing and Minting Company , Umar Abbas Masanawa, as the most likely aspirant for the ticket.

Officially, the governor, who is contesting for president under the ruling APC, has not come out to endorse any aspirant as a possible successor. Three names however keep coming up: The Benue North West senatorial district, which is currently occupying the governorship seat via Samuel Ortom, will not be presenting an aspirant during the delegates conference.In Kaduna State, Governor Nasir El-Rufai recently endorsed the senator representing Kaduna Central senatorial district, Uba Sani as a potential successor.

More than 20 aspirants from the PDP, APC and All Progressives Grand Alliance are vying to be the landlord of the Lion Building in Enugu. The five aspirants ready to slug it out are the incumbent deputy governor, Manir Muhammad Dan’Iya; immediate past commissioner for environment, Sagir Bafarawa; former minister of water resources, Muktari Shagari; ex-SSG, Sa’idu Umar and incumbent PDP state chairman, Bello Goronyo.

The aspirants said the only condition that would make them remain in the APC is if due process is followed in the selection of the party’s candidate during the May governorship primaries. The two candidates, who had already picked and submitted their nomination forms, are the secretary to the state government, Dr. Tammy Danagogo and the accountant-general of the state, Siminalaye Fubara.

The chairman, PDP Leaders and Stakeholders’ Forum in Delta South, Chief Mike Loyibo, said, “We have agreed to go with the Speaker and ensure that he clinches the ticket of the party even though the Urhobo Progress Union Worldwide in a statement by its president general, Olorogun Taiga, and others endorsed David Edevbie’s aspiration.

Conversely, Deputy Senate President Ovie Omo-Agege has said the Delta State APC would frustrate Governor Okowa’s plan to impose his successor on Deltans in the 2023 governorship election and determine who becomes the next governor.Governor Abubakar Sani Bello has said he has no anointed aspirant, as he said those associated with him who may be seen supporting any candidate were on their own.
