Governors as chief administrators of the 36 states in Nigeria have crucial role in the development of the country. Unfortunately, they have not lived to that expectation. They have always claimed paucity of funds in allocation between them and the federal government but they have never united in their advantageous strength and numbers to fight that stusquo. All they have ever done is to wait for the allocation and then spend it as if it is their personal money

In all these, some of the past and present governors have impacted positively on the states they governed while others performed terribly.

Havjng actively followed Nigerian politics since the return to civilian rule in 1999, i personally feel these 3 governors are the worst. I will itemise them from bottom to the top:

3 Ben Ayade - the immediate past Cross River governor. At a point he was said to have apoointed 10,000 SAs and SSAs in the middle of his first tenure and Nigerians were awed

2 - Okezie Ikpeazu, immediate past governor of Abia state. This governor left his state unattended while following Wike around like a puppet.

1 - Soludo, current governor of Anambra state. Having served as the CBN governor under Olusegun Obasanjo, i personally felt vying for governorship was below his status. He contested twice before the last one that ushered him into the Anambra government house. He failed in the first two occasions and someone like me felt Anambrarians were shooting themselves in the foot by missing such rare opportunity in Soludo.

When he failed the first governorship bid in 2009 against Peter Obi of all people, i felt so sad. An elderly schorlar then told me Soludo is overhyped that i shouldnt even think that.
Today Soludo is Anambra state governor. Anambrarians gave him the massive support and he made wide promises and one of the promises is turning Anambra to Dubai/Taiwan of Africa.
18 months into his governorship amidst improved allocations Anambra is retrogressing.

The roads are in shambles
Refuse litter everywhere taking months to be evacuated among other anomalies.
In all of these he continues promising Anambra heaven on earth...

As per last:

Peter Obi for sure was one of the worst. A thread was dedicated just to curse and insult him for bad governance on Nairaland.

Tinubu is in the same mould with Mbadinuju.

1. Godwin obaseki

2. Peter obi_ he's too stingy, he can never be a good sugar daddy, never!!!

The man's failure is unrivaled in the history of nigeria.

You people don forget that Orji for Abia state that year

1. Tinubu: Only tribalism and ignorance can make anyone not to take Tinubu as one of the worst Governors ever in Nigeria.
During his tenure, every coner of Lagos was spelling. All he was after was how to raise money for himself.

2. Arigbeshola: This one, if you have been to Osun state when he was in power, wouldve wondered if there was actually goverent in Power. It surprises me how this people still get power.

3. Okezie Igbeazu: This one, i bet it, he was not aware of what governance was all about.

obi as a governor was the worst. His government was terrible.

Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi

After Fashola tenure

No one could doubt that Tinubu was a scam

Elechi of Ebonyi is another Worthy mention

Yahaya Bello
Abdulrahman Abdulrasaq
Ikpeazu
Theodore Orji
Kalu Orji
Elechi

Top worst 3 is among the above list

Chime
Amechi
Umahi
Obiano
Ganduji
Fashola
Akpabio

Top best 3 is among the above.

What of Yeye Bingo of kogi state he is the chairman

The white powder drug lord is overall worst

aQUINandmore:
1. Godwin obaseki

2. Peter obi_ he's too stingy, he can never be a good sugar daddy, never!!!

3.Godwin obaseki

The man's failure is unrivaled in the history of nigeria.

obaseki is the worst governor, I have seen

Olaromiti or what is the governor of Ondo state and that Oletola of osun state and Hope of lmo state

GeneralPula:
Bayelsa past & present Governors are suppose to carry all..

I’ve never heard of that state commissioning any project before..

A small state collecting huge 13% derivation monthly! Normal normal, e suppose be best state in Nigeria..

Do you think bayelsa is small?

1. All past and present governors of Bayelsa state. They should be the first to face firing squad if Military take over in Nigeria.

2. Lucky Igbinedion

3. Ikpeazu of Abia

4. Godwin Obaseki of Edo. The guy is just good at engaging in political problems than governing and developing a state. Edo state roads, public schools and healthcare is now a total write-off compared to how Oshiomole left it.

5. Past and present governors of Benue, Kogi, Zamfara, Adamawa, Yobe, Ogun, Ondo and Ekiti states.

Infact, Nigeria is just cursed with evil visionless leaders... Thanks to the multiethnic and multi language in Nigeria this country will never develop unless the country is restructured so that Yorubas can have Tinubu as president, Igbos can have Peter Obi as president, Hausa/Fulani can have Atiku as president while Niger Delta can have Wike/Oshiomole as president.
