Akinwunmi Ambode, governor of Lagos State, is leading other governors in a poll organised by the African Leadership Magazine to determine Nigeria’s top performing governor.
The poll, tagged: Good Governance Polls for Nigeria’s Top Performing Governor, started two weeks ago with Governor Ambode maintaining the lead.
So far, he has scored 36.1 per cent of the total vote cast, while Willie Obiano of Anambra State is trailing Governor Ambode with 25 per cent of the total votes cast.
The poll, according to its organisers, was designed by the group as part of its strategic engagement tool to monitor performance and gauge the mood of the electorate in Nigeria in line with its objective of providing credible information and support to leaders in Nigeria and Africa at large.
An overwhelming 35 per cent popularity rating for Governor Ambode, among other governors, clearly shows his popularity as he continues in his task of delivering good governance, promoting infrastructural development and people-centred policies that better the lives of the people of Lagos.
The Ogun State Governor, Ibikunle Amosun, is in the third place with 8.8 per cent, while Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, is in the fourth position with 7.9 per cent of the total vote casts.
The Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai, sits in the fifth position with 5 per cent, while as at press time, voting is still ongoing and is expected to close in the next three days.
