In Nigeria, ballots are still being counted following Saturday's elections in 29 of the 36 states.
The was seen as another popularity contest between the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) and the main opposition People's Democratic Party (PDP).
The results that have been released and winners declared are in the following states:
Lagos (APC), Kwara (APC), Gombe (APC), Enugu (PDP), Oyo (PDP), Abia (PDP), Kebbi (APC), Jigawa (APC), Katsina (APC) , Ogun (APC), Akwa Ibom (PDP), Ebonyi (PDP), Cross River (PDP), Nasarawa (APC) and Niger (APC).
The election in Rivers state has been suspended indefinitely by Nigeria’s electoral body, the Independent National Electoral Commission (Inec).
The commission took this decision because of the widespread disruption of elections and violence in polling units and collation centres.
Inec also declared governorship elections in Adamawa and Sokoto states inconclusive.
Elections in seven states - Edo, Ondo, Ekiti, Bayelsa, Kogi, Anambra and Osun - were not held because the tenure of their governors has not yet expired.
