The former national ruling party, People's Democratic Party (PDP) was in power from May 29, 1999 to May 29, 2015. And PDP was in control of majority of the states. But all the states, including the oil producing states failed woefully in human development, because their failures made millions of their people to migrate to Lagos State and other states belonging to the main opposition party.

Forget all bragging rights of PDP governors in the south-south like Akwa Ibom and Cross River, who boasted of building world class stadium, roads, airports and hospitals. But many of their rural areas still look like villages in the great Chinua Achebe's all time classic novel "Things Fall Apart". They failed woefully to create jobs for their people.
Majority of the people are backward and uncivilized. And till date, thousands of their people are still leaving for Lagos, their heaven on earth. Even their governors also prefer living in Lagos too. Lagos is better, safer and richer than their states.
If they developed their states, majority of their people will not be in Lagos today.

Two of the worst PDP states are Abia and Bayelsa. They look like states governed by demons and not by civilized humans.
When you also visit the rural areas of PDP states in the north, you will see that every state government of the former ruling party has been a political fraud; making the PDP the greatest political fraud in Africa since the fall of the British Empire.
Another political fraud of the PDP is still going on in every PDP state.
The most pathetic case is Bayelsa where the state government has been collecting annual federal revenue allocation of more than N170 billion for a state with a small population of less than 3 million people and yet is one of the worst states in Nigeria.

It's not just states governed by PDP, it's all over Nigeria, infact, the whole West Africa. I don't know what is wrong with our African leaders.

This is a fallacy.
I can see APC written all over the face and heart of the writer while composing this deluding and deceitful article.

Op thanks for this insightful analysis, indeed a woeful and wasted years from the poverty development party...

If PDP had been ruling lagos, it would. Have been a disaster.
God Bless our nation

This is nothing new. It's obvious to a new born baby! !!

Aregbesola is the best governor in the world!

Prove me wrong with facts.
Have you visited all the states as I have been doing?
I have a national project for more than 6 million underprivileged girls out of school in Nigeria and I know the most critical states in this humanitarian emergency.

Lest you forgets, some of the former PDP governors are now in the new ruling party, All Progressives Congress (APC).
Edo State does not collect up to what Bayelsa State collects in annual federal revenue allocation, but the state is 100 times more developed than Bayelsa State.
True or false?
Abia is terrible. And I am from Abia.

McKren:
Aregbesola is the best governor in the world!

Who says?
He is struggling and a poor economist. He would fair better as a commissioner of works or education.

I guess that includes your hero Ameachi, Saraki and Kwakwoso

No Nigerian politician is my hero or role model.
They have compromised their principles.

I would have loved this better if you said Nigeria's governors, or even leaders failed.
Arent they all birds of same feather?
