Mr. Ambode is closely trailed by the Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike with 29%; while Governor Willie Obiano of Anambra state secured 18% of total vote casts to maintain a spot in the third place.
In the fourth place is Delta State Governor, Patrick Okowa with 13%; and Governor Nasir El-Rufai of Kaduna state sits in the fifth position with 5% of vote casts. The Good Governance Poll, which ended on Wednesday 3rd, 2016, by 2:pm, Nigerian time, was initiated by the African Leadership Magazine UK, in line with the magazine’s objective of providing credible information and support to leaders in Nigeria and Africa at large.
The Poll is part of the group's strategic engagement tool designed to monitor performance, gauge the mood of the electorates, promote good governance, as well as engender peer review mechanisms amongst leaders in Nigeria and Africa at large. The Good Governance Poll is particularly important in Nigeria, following the country's prevailing realities; while some Governors in the country have been unable to meet their obligation to the electorates, others have been ingenious in managing state resources and also making concerted efforts towards shoring up their IGR. These States Chief Executives deserve to be celebrated.
The Publisher, Dr. ken Giami , in announcing the winners of the Good Governance Poll, stated that "African Leadership Magazine leverages its robust offline and online engagements - with about 2.2 Million daily online post reaches and over 400,000 Monthly magazine circulation to promote purposeful leadership and actively engage leaders for the greater good of the citizenry."
He also maintained that "Mr. Ambode's emergence as the winner of the polls is a clear indication, that more Nigerians are increasingly becoming aware of his strides in Lagos State, which is quite commendable.” One of those polled noted that “Akinwunmi Ambode came to power with his blue-print for the greater development of Lagos State which he has since then pursued with precision. His pursuit of 24-hour economic mechanism, when attained, would propel revenue generation for Lagos State in ways unmatchable by any other state in Africa.”
The online poll which commenced on the 5th of July 2016 attracted Nigerians from all works of life voting to select the country's top 5 Best Performing Governors in the country. The Winners of the Poll will be formally decorated with the prestigious African Leadership Excellence Award as Best Performing Governor, during the International Forum on African Leadership, billed to hold at the Waldorf Astoria, New York on the 22 September 20016, by 11.00am-3.00pm.
The winners would also be presented with endorsement from various US State's and non-state actors, and hosted to Investment & Partnership discussions on the side-lines of the event. This is no doubt a further validation and commendation for the good work they have been doing in Nigeria and the continent and the hope they represent for the future of Nigeria - in spite of the monumental challenges being faced by the country today.
YES I CAN AGREE TO WIKE AND OBIANO. BUT FOR AMBODE??
ReplyDeleteObiano and Ambode did it for me. Linda take note!
DeleteStern, Someone called you a curtain seller. Is that true?
DeleteThis stern is so so Biafra.... As for me Ambode is a great leader and bihari should continue his fight against corruption(Igbo's) and Nigeria will be great....To All Nigerians- IT IS ALWAYS DARKEST BEFORE DAWN.
DeleteWonder what Wike is doing on that list
DeleteCongrats to him

ReplyDeleteGod bless you Gov. Ambode. theres always a new project / development somewhere. You have exceeded my expectations! people wont comment oh! why do we like negative news so much!!
ReplyDeleteWhy do they have to be honored in New York? What happened to all the event places in Nigeria? This is our problem. How many times have people from other country used our country as a destination to celebrate? We are always going to the US to get awards. SHAME!!!
ReplyDeleteMy sentiments exactly!
DeleteCongratulations
ReplyDeleteHonoured for what and by who? Anyway am sure the so called honour would be from one mushroom group.
ReplyDeleteHonoured in New York? Imagine a US Governor honoured in Nigeria for his work in the US.
ReplyDeleteGud 4 em
ReplyDeleteI have not seen any performance of Ambode cos oriade local govt area is nothing to write home about
ReplyDeleteNice one Ambose.....
ReplyDeleteNice one Ambode....
ReplyDeleteGovernor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi is best performing Governor in Nigeria. how did this magazine come about this? have they seen the wonders Gburugburu is performing in Enugu State?
ReplyDeleteKudos to H.E IFEANYI UGWUANYI of Enugu State
Am not from rivers state but I Base here and I can see clearly with my two eyes that this man called wike is really working though I never liked him from d one bt I most confess,if he continuous like this,then rivers state will be much more better than anyother state in o ur country Nigeria.
ReplyDeleteAmbo is trying even though I'm not a party to the failures of his treacherous party, APCheats. I reside in lagos, I must say he has touched the immediate needs of lagosians especially Berger bridge and iyana oworo that builds traffic on third mainland bridge. Ahh, Eko o ni baje oo! Ifeanyi Okowa please learn faaassstt!
ReplyDeleteThis guy call Stern is a frustrated human being.
ReplyDeleteOf course ambode would win. Lagos has the highest number of Internet users. This is not a good poll. El-rufai should have been first/2nd but Internet in the north is poor.
ReplyDeleteAnd where is Enugu governor?
ReplyDeleteyes am quite sure too that AMABO will win.
ReplyDeleteAm very sure of my Governor Willi Obiano
