In some countries, it is possible to see a top politician who still belongs to society’s middle-class, due to the manner the system had been structured. But here in Nigeria, a top politician, particularly a Governor, is usually already part of the wealthiest people in the society.


We should note that some of these guys are already doing fine in their careers or businesses before emerging as Governor.

Nevertheless, in present-day Nigeria, one of the sure ways of growing your wealth is to find your way into a top political office. So, we are not making a mistake if we say all the Governors in Nigeria are massively rich, but the fact remains that some are richer than the others.
