Northern governors are by far, better than southern governors; The best being professor Zulum of Borno state, followed Sanwo-Olu of Lagos state. Others are frigging playing..

Worst region goes to the south east, followed by north central. But they're busy fighting for Lagos, as if they're done developing their place..

I'm not Yoruba, but dragging their birth right with them, is a no no...
