According to Channels TV, the governors of Ebonyi, Ogun, Imo, Zamfara, Kebbi, Yobe, Lagos, Kaduna, Kano, Kwara, and Niger states are all in attendance.

The ruling party, APC, will be up against the candidates of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Labour Party (LP), and the New Nigerian People’s Party (NNPP) in the presidential, national assembly, governorship and state houses of assembly elections that will hold between February 25, and March 11, 2023.
