APC Now Governs 31 of 36 States as Makinde Stands Alone for PDP

A recent breakdown of Nigeria’s governorships as of May 2026 shows the APC in control of 31 out of 36 states. Five states are held by smaller parties, each with a single governor. These parties are the PDP, LP, APGA, Accord, and APM. Seyi Makinde of Oyo State remains the only PDP governor in office, highlighting the party’s dwindling presence at the state level. Analysts say this distribution underscores the APC’s growing influence and the fragmented nature of opposition politics across the country.
