Of course, we are not going to be looking at Nigeria’s 36 states and their governors alone but their deputies as well.

While each State has Governors who are elected for a term of four years (a maximum of two terms), the Federal Capital Territory in Abuja is governed by a minister who is appointed by the President of Nigeria.

Let me now take you through the list of current state governors of Nigeria from which you will see who the northern governors are in Nigeria, the South West governors and the list of PDP governors, and APC governors.
