In continuation of the 2019 general elections in Nigeria, the Governorship and state assembly elections was held in 29 states, including the six FCT area council. The election like the presidential and National assembly election also suffered postponement from March 02 to March 09, 2019 due to logistic challenges from the election management body, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).

The African Centre for Leadership, Strategy & Development (Centre LSD), one of the INEC accredited observer organization, observed the election with the Priests Peace and Justice Initiative (PPJ), the social arm of Palace of Priests Assembly (PPA) – a Pentecostal organization based in Abuja. The organizations deployed a total of 420 observers across the six geopolitical zones and the FCT.
