Best performing Governor... DAVE UMAHI.



Worst performing Governor
Ladies and gentleman can we give it up to....Dr IKPEAZU of Abia state, that dude deserve a statue.


B2mario everyone appears to be saying the same thing about your dead Abia state. Please come and prove them wrong with pictures. Lol

The best in the East is Engr Dave Umahi , he is building from the scratch unlike Anambra and Imo State where successive govt. have developed the states. Every governor of Lagos state is seen as the best simply because the state is developed. what they do is look for few projects and plant and maintain flowers.

Not his fan though.
I still believe his scorecard is very poor, indeed unsatisfactory, however some of his projects are..
Dualization and expansion of several Owerri township roads
Dualization of Orlu - Ideato express way
Dualization of Orlu township roads (several adjoining dual carriageways within Orlu metropolis)
Standard general hospitals in each of the 27 LGAs (almost all of them completed)
Heroes square
Concord tunnel
Another tunnel along PH road
Completion of 2 flyovers linking Orlu road with Okigwe road (met the project at a level less than 15%)
Completed the renovation/expansion of Orlu Road from Warehouse.
Rebranded former Modotel to a five star magnicent Rockview hotel giving the Douglas a befitting look.
Also dualized Umuna Okigwe road by the express.
So many other structures like the Ikemba square, Ochiedike diagnosis centre, the ICC, the ecumenical center, Trade and investment center etc.
Eastern Palm University Ogboko
IMO state college of edu Ihitte Uboma
IMO state college of Nursing (along Orlu Owerri road Orlu)
Several modern markets (Mgbidi, Umuaka, Anara, Akokwa ) etc

Please note, I'm not based in IMO state but as my home state,i come in from time to time and everything I listed above here are projects I have seen with my eyes not on paper
Okorocha's greatest undoing is his attitude to civil servants where he has made workers salary look like a favour he's doing them rather a statutory obligation as well as their inalienable right... That's the Genesis of his downfall.
I dont like rochas okorocha but let's tell ourselves the truth...rochas remains imo states best governor asides Sam mbakwe and ohalkim(clean and green initiative). Rochas turned imo into a metropolitan city. Now the argument isnt whether hes performed its usually the quality of work done and the fact he awards contracts to himself and wants to become another tinubu. Rochas should be compared with the likes of Peter obi. His biggest undoing ( in the eyes of the masses which dont mean nada)are his destruction of apga and joining a pc. Then his unpatriotic utterances against the igbo cause. Asides that hes set a legacy that the next governor would have to work hard to beat. Let's be realistic here not emmotional.rochas should be number 2 or 3. His worst policy was the failed attempt at free education which greatly marked the end of imo domination as national bests for decades.

very true. Lagos governors are over hyped. I just realised all the roads they put elephant projects on are federal roads. There's no single state road thats in good condition. So technically most govts in smaller states even outperform them. They never build fron scratch because lagos was capital for over 40yrs.

Atleast he is beautifying Owerri with statues.
He's beautifying owerri as one of the prostitution hub in South East..

The only tangible things u can find in Owerri that merry the heart are hotels,and brothels,.
Re: The Best And Worst Performing Governors In The South-East? by honeyB2018: 9:02am On Sep 08, 2018
Guys, am so happy with this post and comments. Honestly, this is what i had expected IPOB and its leadership to do, other than the sit at home order, that will shrink the economy of Ala Igbo. IPOB, with its leadership and level of acceptance, mounting pressure on the governors of south east as pressure group, will do the Igbo land lots of good and endure the development of the regime
As for, i have never seen Rochas as a governor. To me, he is a serious 419. This is what i have tell all around me even before his stattute moulding projec, he will soon mould buhari

Okorocha's greatest undoing is his attitude to civil servants where he has made workers salary look like a favour he's doing them rather a statutory obligation as well as their inalienable right... That's the Genesis of his downfall.

let's go through each item on your list one at a time.

1. Dualization and expansion of several Owerri township roads
Granted he opened new roads but calling them roads is an insult to the definition to the word "Road". within 6 months of finishing a road port holes appear and expand. the roads are so terrible that you are justified to drive one way in owerri on most of them. some of those expansion projects are so shabby that they are guaranteed not to last one year unlike when Julius Berger project that last 5 years or more. besides, the roads are done without consideration of drainage thus breakdown of the roads are inevitable. Indirectly, this increases transportation and logistics cost. for example, before the road construction project started i could drive from Assumpta church to Fire service in 10 mins. now i spend 45 to one hour for the same distance.

2.Dualization of Orlu - Ideato express way
kindly refer to explanation in point one

3. Dualization of Orlu township roads (several adjoining dual carriageways within Orlu metropolis)
Ditto

4. Standard general hospitals in each of the 27 LGAs (almost all of them completed)
i have visited the said structures in Isu, Nwangele, Orlu and for other places. what i saw are dilapidated buildings with overgrown grasses and no activity in them. the buildings are empty husks, a white elephant project that has been abandoned. of the 27 of such structures only 3 are working. the one at okigwe, the one at ikeduru and the one along the Aba road. i have visited all three and seen for myself that they are working. At the structure at Isu, i was chased by a snake.

5. Heroes square
to be fair he built a wonderful structure at Hero's square. but lately i dont understand what is going on there. i passed there this morning and he is expanding it, involving the road going to concord hotel and into the park in front of the hotel. i don't believe the man utilizes the master plan for owerri. he just wakes up and decides this he what he wants. as typical as his projects, the work is already shabby.

6. Concord tunnel & Another tunnel along PH road
permit me, i combined the two projects together
you are joking right?
the two tunnels are so dark that even at noon you develop a primordial fear driving into it. while in the tunnel the structural integrity is so poor you realize you have not written your will when you are in the middle. the road above both tunnels, leading to and away from the tunnels are so bad that regarding the second tunnel close to First bank, you cant drive into the tunnel except your shock absorbers are brand new. there are online pitures of a jeep that was submerged into water while driving through the tunnel during a storm.

7. Completion of 2 flyovers linking Orlu road with Okigwe road (met the project at a level less than 15%)
the flyovers ( and i use the word loosely) are shabbily completed but the roads are not. kindly view the picture below of the road to the flyover at the Orlu road and the road After the Okigwe road. while on the subject of Flyovers (again loosely used) compare the picture of the said bridge to that at Awka and consider the duration to completion of both projects

8. Completed the renovation/expansion of Orlu Road from Warehouse.
i regret i did not take pictures of the flood and port holes on that road yesterday while it was raining.this was a road completed about 7 months ago and already the port holes have taken over by force. the road demarcators are so shabbily done that a well aimed kick from a sick child can break it. some are already broken by the wind.

9 Rebranded former Modotel to a five star magnicent Rockview hotel giving the Douglas a befitting look.
firstly, the hotel is at the beginning of wetheal and Bank road, not Douglas. Secondly, are you sure you know who owns the hotel?
are you also aware of the story behind that hotel? why didn't you mention the library, sorry the boutique, sorry the abandoned shabby building in front of the road to the government house?

10. So many other structures like the Ikemba square, Ochiedike diagnosis centre, the ICC, the ecumenical center, Trade and investment center etc.
Eastern Palm University Ogboko
if i start the story of each and everyone of the structures you mentioned here night will come day will break and the story will not have finished.

11. Several modern markets (Mgbidi, Umuaka, Anara, Akokwa ) etc
its exactly one year that those markets were torn down and yet neither have they been completed or have been utilized by the people he said he tore it down for. we are not talking about the market at Naze. if you doubt me, ask anyone back in the state to send you pictures of the markets you mentioned. the completed structure and people utilizing them.

by the way, these are basic infrastructures you expect the government to do for the people of the state. if these have an issue then what about the extra services ?

Point of correction, Owerri has always been a metropolitan city right from the days of yore..Owerri was the capital of abians(before the state was created)..I'm from abia state but my birth certificate says I'm from imo state..abịa was just created as recent as 1991..Enugu and Owerri have always been the bastion cities of easterners..

The topic is worse gov in SE. It's Okorocha.

You campaign here for Orlu zone Senate seat for Okorocha.

Okorocha underdeveloped Orlu, even destroyed the infrastructures he met in Orlu, without bringing any worthy project.

Re: The Best And Worst Performing Governors In The South-East? by mandax: 11:21am On Sep 08, 2018
LIFEisSIMPLE:

Which is why i say that Ikpeazu has not earned an E for his effort. I have gone round the five eastern states, and Abia state is currently the worst. Not comparable to Enugu, Anambra, Imo and the last 3 years has seen Ebonyi state overtake God's own state. This rubbish will not continue. We cannot continue insulting God in the name of playing politics. This rubbish must stop

It seems that you are from Abia state, and with a dislike, like me, for Ikpeazu's snail speed in recovering Aba from the ruins which the two Kalus from Bende/Umuahia axis left Aba in 16 years.


Why Ikpeazu has not been using about 90% of Abia state's capital development funds to rebuild Aba baffles me.

For 16 years, the two Kalus devoted almost all ABIA state capital development funds on building Umuahia, because a military HoS happened to have pronounced Umuahia the capital of Abia state, that's all. Thereafter, clannish state governors with their supporters channelled the state's capital development funds and resources to developing capital city, Umuahia, but abandoned the once business hub of Igbo land, Aba.


In Imo state, similar thing as in Abia state has been going on. Because Owerri was pronounced capital of Imo state, the once developing towns like Okigwe and Orlu have been abandoned, as every state governor is literally bent to believe that because Owerri is capital city, nearly all capital development funds of Imo state must be channelled to urbanization and modernization of Owerri.

Abia is even better than Imo state, as Abia has two principal cities - Aba and Umuahia. In Imo state, it's only Owerri. And Owerri people are very happy over this.

The worst governor in the east is that governor who believes that the state capital is all there is to develop in his state - that is Rochas Okorocha.

Owerri people are very delighted with Okorocha, very delighted with Imo state having only one modern town - Owerri.
