No one can win Otti in the coming elections.

1. Alex Otti
2. Alex Otti

LabStores:
Otti definitely top on the list.
He has proven to us that good governance is about individual being good, disciplined and not federal allocation.

Over many years, Abia state was cursed by very irresponsible and corrupt people being incharge.
It was a really backward state with one of the worst infrastructures.
One was even given women was just delivered #500 naira gift...

I agree 💯. I'm not his fan but I don't even care. He's a performer.The man redefined governance in Abia and I just wish the other Eastern states governors can follow in his footsteps. He's the only one, amongst those seeking reelection, I know that will win a second term effortlessly

Alex otti of abia state

and

Ogbonnaya Nwifuru of ebonyi state

Have u travel out of south east, or let me ask if you have been to at least 30 state for the past 3years

Some governors in Nigeria have performed exceptionally well in the past three years and truly deserve re-election.

Many people believe campaigns today are filled with propaganda and empty promises.
However, a few governors have focused more on delivering results than making noise. These are leaders who have kept their promises and shown visible impact in their states.

Putting aside sentiment, tribe, or political party, which current governors have genuinely earned a second term without even needing to campaign?

I can said the 2 governor to win re-election in Nigeria without campaigning is Alex Otti and Peter Mba.

brain54:
I don't think any governor qualifies based on performance...


Otti that's been mentioned is an average governor/performer. It's unfortunate that governance has now become mediocre in Nigeria. And as they say in the land of the blind a one eyed man is king!

Fubara has performed, just because his projects aren't loud due to political battle that has been the main topic doesn't mean he is not working.

He reabilitated all general hospitals to a standard that people will be happy to use it and stop patronizing private hospitals.
He did all these in the face of provocations from other arms of government, he is the only governor that has lost six months in his administration yet one of the best performers.

If you think he hasn't performed, then what is ur basis of performance

Alex Otti and Hyacinth Alia

Anambra state Governor Professor Chukwuma Soludo CFR won his re-election 21/21 landslide. It is very rare in the south east and can only happen if your people really love you. I don't think Dr Alex Otti of Abia state can win all 17 LGAs in his state regardless of the propaganda machinery in his favour.

There's really no serious election in Anambra because the people are sentimentally attached to APGA. Anyone the party makes its flagbearer wins the guber election.

Ekiti state governor don't even have opposition for this coming election so I will pick him

Abia

obayendo1010:
Gov, sheriff of Delta state, deserved to be govt for life.

A sensible person will not even contest against him in the next election.
He supposed to go unopposed

With inflated contracts and delta states the Keke capital of the world

Since 1999 no governor has performed EXCEPTIONALLY well.

One can confidently say that NONE of the150 or so governors of the 36 states in the past 27 years has performed well.

How many of them provided basic government services and utilities to all residents of their state? Services like free education for all children. Utilities like water supply to all households.

Clearly, none of them has done anything near what Jakande did in just four years before he was jailed by Buhari. None!!!

Splashme:
The first civilian governor of Lagos State, Alhaji Lateef Jakande, on Tuesday, said that the cancellation of the Lagos metroline project in 1985 was a major mistake and disservice to many Nigerians.

Jakande spoke in Lagos during the launch of a book which chronicled his life in politics and journalism.

The book, entitled, ‘Jakande: Leadership in Action’ is written by Dr. Bola Olaosebikan, who told the audience at the event that the All Progressives Congress presidential candidate, Maj. Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), was not responsible for the cancellation of the project.

Jakande said, “Reflecting on the metroline project, I think it is a major disservice to many Nigerians. Imagine how many people would have benefitted. It would have made life easier and changed the face of transport in Lagos. Whoever cancelled it or gave the advice towards its cancellation didn’t do right.”

The former governor asked Nigerians not to vote for unserious leaders in the coming polls, saying the elections presented Nigerians with a good opportunity that should not be squandered.

Expressing the hope that Nigeria would soon overcome its developmental challenges, Jakande said hope would be actualised faster if credible people emerged as leaders in the next dispensation.

He said, “This book comes at a very auspicious time in Nigeria’s history as we need leaders who can act. We need leaders who would not compromise the standards of good governance. God has blessed this nation the most in Africa, although we have not reached where we should be; with the right leaders, Nigeria would overcome its challenges.”

WHO SAYS 4 YEARS IN OFFICE IS NOT ENOUGH FOR MEANINGFUL ACHIEVEMENTS?

IT'S A FACT THAT 90% OF GOVERNORS IN NIGERIA SINCE 1999 WITH REVENUES AT THEIR DISPOSAL CANNOT BOAST OF A QUARTER OF THESE ACHIEVEMENTS EVEN WITHIN THEIR EIGHT YEARS IN OFFICE.

Even if that man contest as an independent candidate he will win.

Who is your dealer?

Only one governor. Abia State

That guy call Agbu kefas

Hmmm 😡😡

If you think he hasn't performed, then what is ur basis of performance

Rivers state is comfortably amongst the top 5 richest states in Nigeria...


Put that in comparison side by side with what his predecessors have done... even woke the last governor before him... then you would realize his performance is mediocre and nothing to be proud about.


The truth is as I mentioned governance is now mediocre that is why anyone would celebrate fubara for rehabilitating hospitals.


And in addition because you raised the matter not because it's significant to the topic under discussion... fubara is trying to prove a point hence trying to impress. If not for the pressure on someone like fubara I would not be surprised if he sits as governor of rivers state and become silent with no tangible achievements/ performance after 4 years. I may be wrong in my judgement too though about him on that...


But honestly I don't see his achievements or performance so far as outstanding and worth commendations.... what he has done so far are just the basic and routine requirements of governor especially with resources at his disposal!

Peter Mbah of Enugu State


Alex Oti of Abia State

Non of them all na useless governors
Particularly the northern ones

Rindo69:
Majority of them have earned themselves a second term simply by decamping!

Performance and campaigning does not win you elections in Nigeria. That is them deceiving you that your votes count.

What wins you elections is having Federal Might on your side

You are obviously a child who knows absolutely nothing about politics.

Fubara
Otti

SIM outperformed Wike by miles, the only thing Wike did was to build flyover, not a single road was constructed, not half a human was employed, no empowerment, using Wike as a basis was dead on arrival.

Also saying saying was trying to impress the people cos pressure was on him was pure assumption and not fact.
What we know was that he was the one who started the fight because he wanted to stop Wike from looting the state treasury and allow Rivers money for the development of Rivers state, he didn't perform to impress Rivers state, he impressed them because he fought for them from the beginning even when he could have stayed under Wike flag which was the easy way out

Always about themselves only
kai, these people

Lagos Sanwo Olu (I personally don't like him for being a Tinubu boy). His records in governance is good (like Fashola reincarnated himself) that notwithstanding.

Akwa Ibom Eno. Go to Akwa Ibom for yourself and see why .

Fubara outperformed wike by miles...?

Not a single road constructed? no empowerment... I see you are a fubara man... whatever your affiliations with him. As they say monkey no go fine but him mama go like am. As you already pointed out earlier in your post people love fubara because they hate wike. I suspect that is what is playing out with you.


But no matter your hatred for wike don't rubbish is records or achievements. Comparing fubara to wike... even claiming fubara outperformed wike is witchcraft.


And if you think fubara is fighting for you or for rivers people then you are still sitting on the looooooong thing.


Fubara is the worst governor rivers state ever had undoubtedly. Odili, amaechi, wike all played prominent roles in federal/national politics after their tenures partly due to their performances.


Wike almost became a presidential candidate. He missed being president by the whiskers... if I want to exaggerate.


I dare fubara to beat these people's records I mentioned after his tenure and not rot in oblivion. As it is the support he enjoys as you have said is based on the sympathy he has from people that hate wike and not because of performance.


Like I said he isn't the best governor rivers has produced by miles... infact, he is the worst based on how he has handled matters so far due to poor and costly decisions so far. On many occasions he has had to retract and retrace his positions even beg for forgiveness at the cost of rivers state people.

You said he lost 6 months of governance...who should be blamed for that?

chidi2003:

Best performing governor in recent history.

Kaido:

In Benue presently.

YourGFsnatcher:

No it's the reality. The man has performed in 3 years what others could not do since 1999.

psychologist:
If Nigeria is a real place

Alex Otti should be contesting for presidency

He performed very well too, when he was the MD of Diamond Bank.
