Its an indication that PDP is a backward party as such their governors are backward in performance. Anyways, APC will always lead. #KudosAPC #VoteBuhari.

Very true.
Sai amaechi,
Sai buhari!

Nigerians will start arguing blindly now. In a contest of what seems to be predicated on argumentum ad ignorantia. I think what we must understand is that the federal government allocation to states like Rivers, Lagos and Akwa Ibom are sometimes three times more than what other states take home every month. I will simply be obeying the law of logic when I say, the governors with more resources do more, or so it appears.

Again, since it is a poll, popularity of these political actors complemented with the population of their various states; plays a chief role. Howbeit, I still believe APC governors are by far more efficient when compared with their PDP counterparts. To my mind, they cannot just stop depending on the national milk from the crest fallen brest of their mother, FG. Hence, their juvenile state of poor performance.

Op wait let me check if my governor is there

PDP

Amaechi before Akpabio? Una dey mad o.

And people will open there dirty mouth to say Amaechi is corrupt. Even if he is, this shows the guy is a rare gem. See land slide!!! Thought fashola would win though.

Security: In security, the Lagos State Governor Babatunde Fashola came tops after polling 33.33% of the total polls while Rivers State governor Chibuike Amaechi came second with 22.22%. The Anambra state governor willi Obiano came third with 16.67%. Some participant who commented in this sector cited some winning security programs and initiatives the lagos state administration embarked to reduce crimes and insecurity to the barest minimum. Such initiatives includes RRS, CSA, OPMESA, Lagos State Security Trust Fund, Safe city among others

Upon all odd.
Sai Buhari.

Useless rating!
Compare how much allocation each states receive along with their population and achievements.
The 2nd - 4th governors should come before Amaechi.

But if you remove all their achievements before they joined APC.. Oops..

They're mostly praising PDP, APGA and AC governors achievements.

Who the hell put Abdulfatai Ahmed of kwara state here.. The guy did nothing,operation fill the pot holes.... All they do in kwara is share kwara money... How many roads did he constructed... Rating him ahead Amosun and Aregbesola is an insult to democracy. He shouldn't even be on this list. Chai there is God ooooooo. Why do we always celebrate failure in Nigeria. Chai diaris God ooooo.

What a kangaroo rating!!

Rural and Regional development: In this sector, the Jigawa state governor sule Lamido came tops after securing 50% of the total polls while the Rivers State governor Rotimi Chibuike Amaechi came second after muzzling 20% and anambra state governor willi obiano came third with 15%. some of the commentators pointed out that the Jigawa State government has embarked on numerous rural development program chief among others includes: Rural Electrification (mainly with solar power), Massive housing projects, impressive rural road network among others

Some Rural infrastructure in Jigawa

Very obvious that premiumratings belongs to APC.
Aregbesola supposed to be number35 if not 36

Thats fair but I expected Gov Akpabio taking the top spot. Not seeing delta state gov gives me relief as he doesn't qualify one bit.
