Anambra has had a governor installed by the Court of Appeal, Nigeria's first female governor, a governor removed by the Supreme Court after 17 days, and two decades of APGA rule. Every governorship result since 1999.
Imo has voted out a sitting governor, elected an APGA governor, and in January 2020 saw the Supreme Court remove Emeka Ihedioha and install Hope Uzodimma, who had finished fourth. Every governorship result since 1999.
Enugu gave the PDP some of its biggest wins anywhere for 20 years, then nearly lost to the Labour Party in 2023. In 2025 Governor Peter Mbah took the state into the APC. Every governorship result since 1999.
Ebonyi elected PDP governors for 20 years, often with lopsided margins, until Governor Dave Umahi crossed to the APC in 2020 and handed over to his Speaker. Every governorship result since 1999, and the 2027 race.
Abia has had five governors since 1999 and has never voted out a sitting governor, but its 2015 result was overturned and restored in the courts, and in 2023 the Labour Party ended the PDP's long hold. Every result since 1999.
