Pleas don't mention Imoke cus e is a sleeping governor who is taking glory for what Donald duke did b4 leaving CRS for Imoke to govern.

He's keeping the momentum going, inspite of the decrease in Federal funding.

This is much better than what some state governors do when they come into office and leave good projects to go to waste (such as the Enugu International Conference Center).

You cannot fix that which is not broken. People in Nigeria are quick to criticize those leaders that come into office and scrap good projects started by predecessors, in Liyel Imoke you have a man whose ego appears to be in check.

Sule Lamido and Akpabio

I don't see the work Fashola did in Lagos that people are shouting "Fashola is working", for a state that generates up to N16B a month, it is not it at all.

Rochas had it before he started messsing up.

The Kwankwaso guy i don't really know.


The only way to appreciate Fashola is to have been living in Lagos for a long time. If you were there when Marwa ruled, then Tinubu's 8 years and now Fashola, the "the difference is clear" like 7up.

If you know what Lagos used to be like you'd be forced to praise Fashola too.


Our collective problem as Nigerians however, is that we are not used to a governor actually doing what he was elected to do. So we tend to blow up the little a governor like Fashola does like that's the best he could do given the resources at his disposal.

But Fashola is a one-eyed man in a country of the blind.

I stand by Chime Sullivan being our most presidential governor.

Rochas is a performer. While his ambitions reflect in the scale of change he can bring to a constituency, his habit of overheating the polity, lack of diplomacy, and dictatorial governing style would make a Rochas presidency a step back

Godswil Akpabio is a great governor and super-cedes the rest in his taste alone. Because he has a taste for quality, it reflects on what he does. At the same time Akpabio is flagrantly corrupt. There is almost no Nigerian politician that's free of corruption, but the openness of Akpabio's own is worrying.

Fashola is not a man of his own. While his intelligence has been well reflected in his efforts for Nigeria, he has no barring even in his own party outside of Tinubu. Tinubu is an estate builder and would use Fashola to turn Nigeria into his own private estate as we are yet to see an ex-governor horde their states resources the way Tinubu has in Lagos. Fashola is also ok with mediocre which has been the case in his governing style of Lagos.

Rabiu Kwankwaso is bold. His boldness, like with Rochas, allows him to take leaps others wouldn't and imagine things others don't. He's also not a showboat like Rochas which works to his advantage. His main issue is he's not a Nigerian, he's a northern Hausa man. Kwankwaso has built for hausas in Niger what he hasn't build for Tivs in Benue. He abides by very primitive sharia structures in Kano which dismisses non muslims and seems to have no problem with it. Of everyone listed, he's the most regional/tribal oriented which is worrying because his boldness can translate to stiffness with others.

Sullivan is a man of Akpabio's taste, Rocha's ambition, Kwankwaso's boldness, and Fashola's intelligence that doesn't bring the tribal/religious loyalty, godfather, showboating or blunt corruption that the other guys do and hence why Enugu is arguably the most livable city in Nigeria right now.

The list was not compiled without taking into consideration the shortcomings/weaknesses of the nominees.


All of them are guilty of one wrong act or the other but in spite of that, the list was done with respect to their performances on ground.

In view of aforesaid, I hereby submit that Godswill Akpabio deserves a place in this impartial list of excellence.

From their maturity, tolerance, performances, utterances and actions, I think these governors can adequately perform the responsibilities of the president if opportunity presents itself:

1. Godswill Akpabio

2. Owelle Rochas Okorocha

3. Sule Lamido

4. Babatunde Raji Fashola

5. Mohammed Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso

Any contrary opinion?

I don't agree with the list if contains Akpabio. I'm 100% in support of Fashola. Others I don't know much about, except Kwankwaso whom I may give a chance.

Lagos state generates more money internally than some 10 states put together can do. Not adding monthly funds from Abuja. There's absolutely no reason why a Lagos state Governor should not perform, whether Fashola or someone else.

Having said that, he tried. But, that may just be because he have the advantage to do so. And, if only Tinubu had allowed him free hand to govern, he would have done even better.
