Anyway, i would prefer Chime to Obi and Fashola to Tinubu.

Fashola is the man!! cool

On almost every lips of Lagosians, Tinubu will forever be remembered as a one time governor who initiated and legalized AGBEROISM in Lagos.

For the Op's information about Tinubu, Antenatal Care is not free in Lagos. I am talking from experience. Though the state hospitals provide quality health care services to pregnant women, it is not FREE!!

You get personal beef with BAT I see.

Which Ngige? I don't think you know the troubles of Ngige/Uba when he was in power.
This guy, You know nothing really.. Ngige recalled the teachers from strike, Reopened the schools.. Ngige is one of the best governors in Anambra history. He started the road revolution in Anambra. Even the roads he did are still in better condition than peter obi roads today ask any anambra person. His only undoing was joining APC, If not he would still be the most popular politician in Anambra today..

I think many people don't really know his antecedent or maybe they are too blinded by party and media sentiment.

As for Southsouth, Amaechi's political battle of 2013-2015 took toll on his government and eroded some of his past gains. That is where Akpabio got over him.
OK now I get u. nice post keep it up

You are just funny.. Only people that take your serious are nairaland mods that still push your junk threads to the frontpage.. How can you write confidently on something you lack information about. You have not been to any of these states you mentioned to start with, your judgement is based on hearsay.. What did tinubu achieve as governor apart from the substandard stadium he built.. Placing Peter obi above Chime (the best Nigerian Governor so far who is rather publicity shy) madness. The same Peter obi whose aide was once caught in Lagos airport trying to ferry 250 million in raw cash abroad as governor is prudent? Visit Enugu and tell us how many states in Nigeria are better than Enugu.. Even with lesser allocations


In every society facts is what make argument constructive and educative.

When you layout your facts and I layout my own facts than we can talk educativelly.

Since the return of democracy in 1999, Nigeria has had mixed characters with mixed legacies in various state of the "federation". From the celebrated Babatunde Fashola of Lagos to the "pedophilic" Ahmed Sani Yerima of Zamfara state. Find below the best men that have served as states executives per geopolitical zone. Note that this is strictly based on performance while the listed were in office, and not a certificate of moral cleanliness(a term I coined from palmchat)...

[size=18pt]SOUTHWEST ZONE[/size]:
NAME: Senator Bola Ahmed Tinubu (AD/AC)
STATE: Lagos state (1999-2007)


The Southwest geopolitical zone has had her fair share of the good, the bad and the ugly governors since 1999. While many would remember Raji Fashola of Lagos(2007-2015) for his well-media captured performance and charisma that stood out as one of the best among his contemporaries, I will rather give the honor of the best Governor to the Asiwaju himself, the former Lagos West Senator, Chief Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

When the Jagaban was sworn in as Lagos state Governor in 1999, he inherited a state of near comatose with dilapidated infrastructure. He introduced a financial blueprint that saw Lagos increased her IGR to the tune of N7billion monthly, and created a form of self-survival for Lagos, which was evident when the Obasanjo administration unconstitutionally withheld Lagos state LGAs allocation for a whole THREE years even against the ruling of Supreme Court.

He pioneered the establishment of Bus Rapid Transit System(BRT) and LAGBUS to ease movement of commuters to their places of work and schools especially within the congested Island; He established Lagos State traffic Management Authority(LASTMA) to address the traffic problem of Lagos; he also established Kick Against Indiscipline brigade(KAI) to address the scourge of disorderliness in the metropolis.

Other of his legacies include but not limited to free healthcare services including free ante-natal care for women, free eye treatments and free glasses, popularly called ‘JIGI BOLA’; creation of the Citizens Mediation Centre; a well-staffed and independent Office of the Public Defender, offering legal services for the poor FREE OF CHARGE; establishment of FIVE General Hospitals and Upgrade of existing ones to standard; Upgrade of Lagos State University Teaching Hospital etc.

Tinubu touched virtually all areas of governance that his successor Raji Fashola was full of praise of him at a point when others across the federation were complaining of inheriting a bad state from their predecessors. According to Fashola in his May 2008 Speech on Tinubu's achievement, "he(Tinubu) was able to address a number of socio-economic challenges confronting the State and succeeded in proffering solutions to them. His outstanding achievements in health, education, environment, transportation and many more remain the great legacies which today, serve as a springboard for the smooth take-off of this administration. I am indeed happy and find it a great privilege to have succeeded this great leader in Lagos State."

Think of any policies of both Fashola and Ambode, and I will show you a trace of Tinubu.

Closely following Tinubu is another former Lagos state Governor, Mr Raji Fashola SAN, that served between 2007 and 2015. He no doubt continued the path of his former boss whom he served as Chief of Staff. Eko o ni baje.

[size=18pt]SOUTHEAST GEOPOLITICAL ZONE[/size]
NAME: Mr Peter Obi (APGA)
STATE: Anambra State(2006-2014)


Though now a PDP Chieftain, Mr Peter Obi will no doubt go into the annals of history as not just the best produced by his Anambra state, but the best in the entire Southeast zone.

Obi rise to the coveted seat in Anambra state came to many as a shock when he won the ruling PDP at the Court of Appeal and Supreme Court in 2006 to claim the Anambra seat as the legitimate authentic governor, which saw the sack of PDP's Dr Chris Nwabueze Ngige and the Uba dynasty.

For a full year, teachers were on strike, and life seemed to go on. With the strategic intervention of the Obi Administration, the education sector was resuscitated and enabled to great heights from 2012, and the State has maintained first position in WAEC and NECO examinations even till this day.

Obi inherited a state where civil service were at a low, a state with financial mess, a state where Bakassi boys held supreme, a state where many Anambrarians could not be proud of.

He came, worked prudently with meager resources at his disposal, he addressed myriads of challenges including providing infrastructure, creating a financial blueprint kept the state on self survival, fixing the dilapidated civil service, bequeathing. While his peers were embezzeling state funds, Anambra under Obi invested in SABMiller Breweries Corporation, Onitsha(producer of Hero Beer), Orient Petroleum etc.

Before he came to office, Anambra State did not have any accredited hospital or health institution, but within 6 years, the state had Onitsha General Hospital and Amaku Teaching Hospital are accredited. Many health institutions such as School of Nursing and Midwifery, Nkpor; School of Health Technology, Obosi also became now accredited, also those owned by churches became accredited. The Governmrnt also built Anambra state Teaching Hospital and College of Medicine. In fact, he won the Bill & Melinda Gates Award for outstanding performance in the health sector.

When leaving office, Obi handed over N75 Billion in cash and investment. The breakdown is as follows: N27 billion in local currency investment; N26. 5 billion in foreign currency investment and N28.1 billion in Certified State/ MDS balances to his successor Obiano, and paid all salaries, pensions an gratuities. Though the government of Obiano is insisting that what was left was N37 billion. This claim was countered by Obi, who through his Aide published Account details of various government accounts where the said 75 billion were as at March 2014 to back up his claim. http://www.vanguardngr.com/2015/11/obiano-denies-obis-n75bn-handover/

Only those with little grasp of Anambra state pre-2006 will not appreciate the Man, Mr Peter Obi.


[size=18pt]SOUTH-SOUTH GEOPOLITICAL ZONE[/size]
NAME: Obong Godswill Akpabio(PDP)
STATE: Akwa Ibom(2007-2015).


Now the minority leader of the Senate, the Uncommon former Governor of Akwa Ibom state has left a shoe too big to wear just like Sir Alex Ferguson did while retiring from Manchester United FC of England.

Obong Godswill Akpabio inherited an Akwa ibom state that was a mockery in the south-south region despite the huge allocations it got in the PDP's Obong Attah era(1999-2007). While the media was singing the praises of ACN's Raji fashola and PDP's Rotimi Amaechi of Lagos and Rivers states respectively, a certain and uncommon Governor Akpabio was silently restoring Akwa Ibom state to the path of glory.

He built infrastructures which include a state of the art Hospital, Stadium, road networks, beautified Uyo and other areas, and did relatively well.

Akpabio wasted no time in salvaging the project and completing it on schedule. Ibom International Airport reputed to have one of the longest runways in Nigeria, international flights have already commenced from the airport. But as a man of vision, Governor Akpabio has moved on to complete the second phase which would have the Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul (MRO) facilities to serve the West African sub-region. With the MRO facility, airlines could do some basic checks of their fleet of aircrafts in Akwa Ibom State and save the nation capital flight.

Akwa Ibom State under Akpabio also boasts of the first-in-West Africa e-library. The project is a component of the free and compulsory education policy of the administration, which impact has been phenomenal. Apart from the five floor edifice which is an architectural masterpiece in itself, it is the only library in Nigeria with a multi-media conference hall with a capacity for 200 guests. It also has facilities for teleconferencing from any part of the globe.

In addition to these, he connected the whole of Akwa Ibom state to national grid by embarking on massive rural electrification project in all communities of the state. He also introduced free and compulsory education for Akwa Ibomites and change the image of Akwa Ibom people from the "Ekaete the housegirl to Ekaete the girl from the beautiful Akwa Ibom".

Through his uncommon works, he addressed the issue of flooding that was always prevalent after heavy downpour in the state.

Under his watch, the state became a choice destination for Local and International conferences, seminars and workshop.

Closely following Akpabio is the immediate past Governor of Rivers state, Hon Rotimi Amaechi(PDP/APC) that served between 2007 and 2015. In fact, the former Governor was at one time the best in the entire southsouth until he was caught in a political feud over the soul of the state with the former first lady, Mrs Faka Jonathan and his former Chief of Staff Barr Nyesom Wike. However, not even his staunchest critics can take away the fact that Amaechi's Achievement from 2007-2012 was the best in the South-south and Rivers history.

Both the Uncommon Senator Godswill Akpabio and the rugged Rotimi Amaechi left legacies in their respective states that would take only genius(es) to eclipse.


After Akpabio is Donald Duke not Rotimi Amaechi. Thats a wrong analysis

As much as I recognize the sterling achievement of Raji Fashola, i have always argued that Sen Tinubu is the real MVP. Like Ambode, all Fashola had to do was to consolidate on Tinubu's achievement and work on his blueprint. Though in Fash's case, he had lots of media attention while BAT had to deal with distractions from Obj's FG especially with respect to seized LGA allocation for THREE YEARS. How many Govs can survive in that situation?


As for Obi, I looked at where he came from and where he left, and couldn't help but give it to him. Especially in the area of prudency and financial stability for the state.

Antenatal care has never been free my dear. Just that the fees were reduced to help those who can't afford it. it wasn't absolute free.

I observed that you skillfully avoided the part where I said Area Boys were integrated into LASTMA and KAI brigades.

As for BRT/LAGBUS pioneer drivers, it is on record that agberos were the first set of drivers that took up the jobs. This is a fact.

Lemme explain a fact to you. Before Tinubu era, Falomo was an EYESORE. The under-bridge was littered with touts, thieves and agberos despite its proximity to Army barrack(signal) and Police Barrack. The place was high disorganized. When Tinubu came, most of the known faced Agberos were integrated into KAI brigade, while BAT fixed and dualised Awolowo Road that stretches to French embassy. He also beautified the round about and converted the under-bridge into car park for corporate organisations there.

Though I don't know his reason for Obi hate but I think he should be fair at least.

Truth is that Obi had every reason to fail. He was constantly distracted by PDP dominated House of Assembly and NASS representatives, and was at a point impeached for political reasons yet it never dissuaded him. How many Governors performed under such harsh environment? Amaechi couldn't keep up with his performance when political distraction set in but Obi never allowed his to derail his work.

Today, Anambra has the might to take care of her responsibilities despite the drop in oil price due to the administration of Obi. Obi performance will definitely outlive him.

I disagree with you on KAI sha.

Fashola performed more than Tinubu, that's the fact! Which Lagos resident doesn't know that?
In what area? not playing down Fash's achievement but Ambo has proven that what is working in Lagos is literally BAT's model.

Honestly, those KAI brigades(pioneers) were former agberoes. They were trained and integrated for the job.
