Yes, they have started speaking!
Two spoke recently:
Kogi state:
New York Times: NIGERIA, Oct. 10 — A judge in the northern state of Kogi has ordered a rerun of the election for governor that took place in April, ruling in favor of an opposition candidate who argued that the polls were so marred by fraud and violence that the results lacked legitimacy.
… Kebbi state:
“State election petition tribunal yesterday nullified election of Senator Tanko Ayuba, representing Kebbi South Senatorial District in the National Assembly, and ordered for a bye-election.”
And more will speak before the end of the month - in Ondo state particularly. The legal battles have been fierce in Edo and Osun states as well.
Agagu is a gonner and this is a forgone conclusion. The polls in Ondo State especially the do or die announcement of Agagu who lost hands up to Mimiko who won with more than majority really shocked the world. All eyes are on Ondo State and to be honest the election judiciary have been doing a good job, giving honest verdicts and not allowing anyone to subvert the cause of justice. Let us pray that they remain true to the end.

I hope this will encourage other states to do the same.
