Accord Party's Akin Ogunbiyi, the Labour Party's Lasun Yusuff, the Social Democratic Party's Oyegoke Omigbodun, the African Action Congress' Segun Awojide, the Action Democratic Party's Kehinde Atanda, the Allied Peoples Movement's Awoyemi Lukuman, the All Peoples Party's Adebayo Elisha, and the Boot Party's Adeleke Adedapo.

There was a significant voter turnout and the election, which was held in 3,763 units across the state's 30 LGAs, was relatively calm.

A total of 1,479,595 Permanent Voter Cards were gathered before to the election out of the 1,955,657 registered voters in the state.

In addition to the military and the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, the Inspector General of Police, Usman Baba Alkali, had sent roughly 21,000 police officers to maintain calm in the state.

However, the poll was marked by widespread vote-buying, which was denounced by certain candidates and civil society organizations.
