NEWISSUES MAGAZINE, Abuja
Despite the accolades the activities of
most Nigerian governors remain a hype,
the work of aggressive Public Relation
stunt. A close look at the work of these
shrewd shaddy politicians always reveal
much more than meets the eyes. Behind
the curtain is systematic looting and
money laundering activities going on and
everyone is involved. Despite the
shameless corruption some of these
governors have done relatively well or have
been percieved to have done well. Today
we are discussing those who haven’t done
much or upto expectation, those who don’t
even know why they are governor. We are
looking at the first ten starting from 10
to number 1.
(10) Delta State Governor : Despite the
huge revenue allocated to Delta State,
Governor Oduaghan hasn’t been able to
bring remarkable change to Delta State.
When we hear what people like Governor
Rotimi Ameachi have been able to achieve
in Rivers State, his Delta State
counterpart is not known for any serious
infrastructural development. Oduaghan
became governor like most governor. He
was the cousin of the previous governor,
James Ibori, who is now languishing in a
London prison after he was found guilty
of money laundery. Oduaghan’s
government is characterised by
sorrounding himself with friends and
family members and making them rich to
the detriment of the state. He has spent
almost eight years as Delta State
governor and we haven’t seen anything
remarkable yet.
(9) TA Orji of Abia State is the worst
governor in Igbo land for 2013. In Nigeria
he came as number 9. The people haven’t
seen anything like dividend of democracy
and many Abia indegenous people have
personally called to say he is the worst
governor in Nigeria. NEWISSUES
categorise him as number 9. His people
expect much from him but in the end
governance to some of these men in
government is about personal business and
wealth accumulation for themselves and
their friends.
( Kebbi State Governor Dakingari is
number 8 on the list. After talking to
many people in Kebbi State, they seem to
all agree that the man hasn’t done much.
The good thing is that the man doesn’t
talk too much.
(7) FCT Minister Bala Muhammad, is the
number 7th on the list of the worst
governor in 2013. Forget the title FCT
Minister, we consider the 37th Governor of
Nigeria. Bala Muhammad is going on
record as the worst FCT Minister in the
history of the FCT Admiistration in
Nigeria. The FCT Minister is just doing
anything but as those who know him say,
accumulating wealth for his campaign for
the 2015 Bauchi State Governor election.
His posters and billboards are already all
over the Bauchi State capital. He has been
accused of land racketeering. The FCT
administration is shamelessly corrupt and
nobody cares. Bala Muhammad efforts at
reforms in the transport area is the
worst and ludicrous. It is obvious that all
the FCT Minister cares about is
generating revenue to the detriment of
the people. Under his nose the FCT will
demolish then later collaboarate with the
natives to sell these plots again. The man
simply lacks idea and Nigerians wonder
why he hasn’t been replaced. We heard it
is because he is a very good friend to
Patience Jonathan, the First Lady.
(6) Lamaran Yero of Kaduna state . After
Yakowa died his assistant became the
governor of Kaduna State. Governor Yero
has not been able to do anything since
then. As a young man people expect
dynamic leadership in a conflict State.
Governor Yero hasn’t shown that he is a
promising leader.
(5) Murtala Nyako of Adamawa State is
number 5 worst governor on our list. Being
an old man one would think the man would
do something spectacular to leave a legacy
for his people. Nyako did nothing. He has
been busy throughout this year fighting
the president. That is more important to
him than his people.
(4) Gabriel Suswan of Benue State and
Isa Yuguda of Bauchi State. These people
have made it to number 4 of the worst
governors in Nigeria. Suswan has not been
able to pay salaries, even to primary
school teachers. In the area of
development, not much is on ground. Benue
is still one of the poorest states in
Nigeria in terms of infrastructures. Since
1999 Benue State has been lucky with
governor and Gabriel Suswan is the worst
of them all.
Isa Yuguda was once quoted as saying
former governor Muazu has done
everything, so there is no need to do
anything. Muazu was overwhelmingly voted
in the first term despite leaving the PDP
to join the ANPP. He would have lost if
not for the rioting in 2011 but after the
CPC rioting he won. Isa Yuguda hasn’t
done much and if in 2015 the PDP lost to
APC it wouldn’t be because of Goodluck
Jonathan hate in the North
The worst three governors in the Nigeria
is coming soon.
