Why is that yhu people aren't seeing Yahaya Bello of Kogi State?

Judging by Nigerian standard, I will join others to give it to Ambode. However, if it's about the real quality which means what governance should be then all our 36 governors are waste of sperm.

Unfortunately our standard here is just too low when compared to the rest if the world and that is question is asked in the first place.

The question should be: which governor is the most useless?

I left ph for a project in the north, I've seen their extent here. I don't know about Ambode. please tell me who you thought is the best. imagine Rivers State is in peace? That man has done more than people imagined. I'm not from Rivers State, but if I don't say the truth, then my conscience will worry me. the issue of past administration started them is past. He's incharge Now and he won't leave ones Amaechi started and pursue unfruitful ones
we can not imagine that rivers state is in peace , we need to see the peace , if I tell you ,imagine if Nigeria is not in recession , those are just wishes we need results , schools , health centers are in a bad shape , even the he said he will no longer sponsor the state university again .. And that cause an increase in school fees , he is trying but NOT THE BEST

what exactly did he do in woji road ? I stay in woji and the port hole he fixed is not up to five , I can name the exacts spots for you , and he commissioned it like he built the road , rupokwu to SARS road , the contract was awarded by past administration , yes he tried for the traffic lights , you talking about just one school , what about the rest of the primary schools that are in a bad shape ? Or health centers? Or the salary he has not paid teachers ? Should I talk about security in etche , omoku , eleme , akpajo? My brother he is not the best , he is trying but definitely not the best
One pot hole is enough to make a fine road impassable. U know what Wike is the governor of Rivers State till 2019. And if there is a reason to declare SOE in Rivers State you will be the victim.
Re: The Best Performing Governors In 2016? by Nobody:
I really dont know why people are arguing here. Isn't it rather obvious that Willie Obiano is by far the best performing governor.

Were not just talking of building roads or other construction projects. Were talking of real in depth transformation. He is a governor that has dealt with root issues like industrialization. An road (unmaintained) may go bad in a couple of years but things but what Willie is doing would have a long lasting effect in Anambra.

I believe that while many other governors are painting cracked walls, Willie tears them down and erects new ones from the foundation. That is real development.

Ambode
People be saying Lagos generate bigger revenue
I ask them

How much allocation enter bayelsa with few local government?

Lagos state generate revenue because they want to

Imagine if they wait only for Fed to give them money?
Imagine dey dont have foresight to get this revenue?

If other state had done that we will still be saying the same thing

Bros I dnt mean to be rude ooo. But how can u pple love someone that stole billions of naira from u? I don't get dis naija mentality.
Good and polite question, now lemme ask you some questions, please can you point out any saint out of the 36 governors? And have you been to delta state before?

90% of the infrastructural development in delta state was carried out by James Ibori, yes, he was not a "saint" but he made sure he delivered the dividends of democracy to the good people of delta state.

James Onanefe Ibori was just unlucky because i know that Tinubu and Lucky Igbenedion were legends in the game of looting.
Re: The Best Performing Governors In 2016? by ransomed: 9:43am On Dec 31, 2016
Nyeso Wike for orchestrating political rascality, supervising electoral violence and killings, staging a coup d'etat against the speaker of Rivers' house, for taking loan worth billions without tangible projects to show for it. I would have stated Amechi's performance in the negative but he is not a serving governor.

so stop sounding like he constructed one magnificent road , if he doesn't want the SOE he should tackle the security challenges ,you can't call him the best because of few road amendments , what about jobs , salaries , major infrastructure , skill acquisition in various LGA's

MrTruth4real:
I ll give it to ambode, but I think he's lucky because Lagos generates a very large revenue compare to other states.while I ll gv worst performing to okowa, but its not also his fault, ibori use delta state as collateral to take loan, and we are still paying the debt till tomorrow.
He is not lucky. It takes a working governor to keep revenues flowing in and the economy thriving. Under ambode, lagos became the 5th largest economy in Africa. Bigger than many countries

I disagree with you on the bolded part of your comment.

The revenue generated doesn't guarantee your performance but it is the will to perform makes you perform well.

You might generate less revenue and still perform better than someone who generated huge revenue. All you need is the will to perform by making do with the little you have and be transparent about it.

Safe
I disagree with you on this one. Revenue is very vital to performance in a state like Delta with a large staff strenght. Or how would the governor pay salaries.

am given you raw facts , because he REPAIRED a few roads does not make him the best , other areas he has been lacking , security , job creation , innovations etc you get my point ?
He has empowered people. I forgot the name of that scheme people were given about 50k each. Security situation is caused by Amaechi so as to force the state to be declared state of emergency. God pass am. innovation,....tell me the type you meant

Ambode performed well below average. Though media hype has portrayed him as a performing governor. Taking a cursory look at Lagos, one can only link the governor to underperformance. For instance, since Ambode became governor, supply of water has become epileptic. Some areas in Lagos could only boast of 36hour water supply per week. Education under Ambode has experienced a free fall. You can imagine a condition where students of public schools in Lagos dont have teachers in major subjects like Chemistry, Physics, Mathematics for science students and Literature, CRK, History for art students. A ready example is Ajumoni secondary school in Iyana Isolo, Atunrase High school in Ishaga et cetera. Ambode has refused to conduct long overdue LG elections in Lagos bacause of fear of losing to the opposition. What about health? Lagos has lost it. Lagos is now dirtier courtesy Gov. Ambode.
Did you answer the question posted by the OP? Definitely no! And by your post, it is quite easy to discern you are all out to attack Ambode. The question remains who is the best performing governor for 2016, not who you hate amongst the governors in question. I would have taken you more seriously if you had taken your time to compare and contrast the performances of the above listed governor.

Once again, stop the attack on Ambode. And maybe you should talk about the performance of the governor from your own home state, assuming you are not from Lagos. And I quite bet you are not!

Enice:
Okowa's lack of achievement is not because of Ibori but because of drop in the revenue and allocation from FAAC. When the Niger Delta Avengers were bombing, some of you guys were shouting GOOD! Now this same bombing has come back to bite your ass. The revenue of Delta state has dropped drastically making it difficult to pay salaries talkless of projects. If you bring a infested wood of ants into your house, do not complain when the lizards come.
Abeg go through all my comments and show me where I have supported militants. I agree wit u, but still does not change the fact that delta state is owing huge debt.

With the governors you've seen their prowess, can you list three states without Rivers State? truth helps one to go forward and live long

There is what is called chain reaction. It is one at a time. Easy movement will stimulate other sectors.

scheme that they gave 50k in Rivers state ? To how many people , you have no evidence its amaechi , its just like me telling you pdp is sponsoring ipob to make Nigeria ungovernable for buhari , doesn't make sense . he should fix schools , pay salaries , and create jobs. Not dashing 50k to a selected few

What is your take on some Niger delta states that receive more than Lagos, have a far lesser population to cater to, far lesser developed areas to maintain but still have nothing important going on in the state?
Bad leaders from Niger Delta, is one reason for the underdevelopment in Niger Delta.
