Nigerian Elections: Dual Combats Between APC and PDP Today

Nigeria's ruling party, All progressive Congress and PDP, People Democratic Party engage in another tussle for two governorship seats in two states (Kogi and Bayelsa). Is the PDP going to lose more states today to the APC or is it going to be a form of "first stage come back" for the PDP? Should the PDP win these two states today, it is going to be a moral boaster for them in their new position as the major opposition party in Nigeria. On the other hand, if the APC eventually sweeps the two states, it will simply be a moral killer more especially as the defeated former incumbent president is from Bayelsa state. It will amount to him being conquered in his own home; another bigger blow. Kogi governorship election aside, it will also be a big blow to the Bayelsans and to the entire South-South.
