Nigerians react to list of performing governors

However, Adeyanju did not give a reason or how the rating was done, but the list has generated reactions from Nigerians. Below are some of their reactions:

Chibueze Austine said:

"Omo, we are not sincere for this country. Who doesn't know that Alex Otti is the best governor in the country now, but his party affiliation is about to push you to the gutter."

Unwana Assam wrote:

"Why is Governor Umo Eno of Akwa Ibom State not there? Uno Eno has done very well, too, though I support Governor Ododo for being the first, second, and third."

Moshood queried:

"On what ground did you scale Fubara ahead of Umar Bago??? Or because he's busy fighting Wike?"

"Usman Ododo’s greatest achievement in the office is meeting with the NSA Ribadu on behalf of the Kogi people. Only Odumeje can rescue Kogi people from their political bondage."

A Nigerian with the handle @jopele2171 called for the contest of the position next time. He tweeted:

"You need to contest for this position next time!!"

Below is the tweet from Adeyanju:

Former governors who acted drama over EFCC arrest

Legit.ng earlier reported the drama that followed the EFCC's move to arrest the immediate past governor of Kogi state, Yahaya Bello, on Wednesday, April 17. Bello has refused to leave the media space in Nigeria.

The EFCC operatives were obstructed by some police officers and supporters of the former governor as the anti-graft agency laid siege at the residence of Yahaya Bello at Zone 4 in Abuja in a bid to arrest him.
