2023 Election: Tambuwal's Fate Hangs as 7 Governors Lose Senatorial Bids
Sokoto State Governor Aminu Tambuwal, who contested on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), is awaiting the outcome of the senatorial election in Sokoto South held on Saturday. 

In related news, seven governors who vied for senatorial positions lost their bids. The casualties include Ben Ayade (Cross River), Samuel Ortom (Benue), Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi (Enugu), Darius Ishaku (Taraba), Simon Lalong (Plateau), Okezie Ikpeazu (Abia), and Atiku Bagudu (Kebbi). 

In contrast, Governor Dave Umahi of Ebonyi State and Governor Abubakar Bello of Niger State secured their seats in the Senate. 

Umahi, who ran under the All Progressives Congress (APC), emerged as senator-elect for Ebonyi South senatorial district after garnering 28,378 votes, while Bello won the Niger North senatorial election with 100,197 votes under the APC, beating out the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) candidates.
