Nigerians return to the polls on Saturday to elect new state governors, with many focusing on the race in commercial hub Lagos and how the electoral body conducts voting after criticism of its handling of last month's disputed presidential election.
Governors wield enormous influence in Africa's most populous nation of more than 200 million and their support often decides who becomes president. Some governors preside over states whose annual budgets are bigger than some small African countries.
The electoral commission postponed the governor's poll by a week, saying it needed more time to reconfigure electronic voting machines that are at the centre of the dispute over the presidential vote won by Bola Tinubu of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) party.
