Godswill Akpabio

1.      Governor Godswill Akpabio (Akwa Ibom, PDP): The “Uncommon man” as popularly called by the people in the state is in no doubt an outstandingly performer governor. Akpabio used his experience while serving as a Commissioner in three key Ministries in Akwa Ibom State to turn around an hitherto sleepy state into a centre of attraction in the nation. Chief Akpabio wasted no time in salvaging the many abandoned projects in the state and completing it on schedule. His massive investments in infrastructure, sports, education and youth empowerment are well documented.
In the area of rural electrification, the achievement of the Akpabio administration has been unprecedented. Over 1600 Communities have been linked to the national grid. This has raised electricity coverage in the State to not less than 85 per cent. He delivered on his youth empowerment programmes which have adequately engaged a lot of people. The Akwa Ibom Carnival, the Akwa Ibom township stadium, the Uyo International Airport, the Akwa Ibom Christmas Carol choir; listed in the Guiness World Book of Records. Indeed, Godswill has been done in Akwa Ibom State.

Sullivan Chime
.     
Sullivan Chime (Enugu, PDP): A gentleman to the core and a silent achiever. A conservative politician, who is known for less talk and more actions. Chime embarked on a major infrastructural drive to change the face of Enugu and he has been commended by analysts for a job well done despite his health challenges which almost ruined his government.. He is not the type of man you find on media houses or newspapers everytime. Unlike his counterparts from around the country who spend huge funds in the media celebrating their achievements or gather VIPs to commission projects executed. He is most times sees in Enugu conducting the affairs of the state and indeed delivering his promises to his people. He is also not known for touring the entire nation looking for recognization or relevance unlike some of his colleagues.


Rabiu Musa Kwankaso
5.      Rabiu Kwankwaso (Kano, APC): One keeps wondering what still keeps this man in the good eyes of the people of Kano state. This is evident in the last general elections in the state where people of the state voted massively for his party  Kwankwaso is synonymous to excellence. That is why his famous ‘Kwankwasiya movement’  in the commercial city of Kano is very popular and has a large number of followers. Kwankwaso has delivered in all fronts to his people. His policies were geared towards the betterment the less privileges in the society and they were effectively implemented to the latter. Kwankwaso is one politician that can comfortably walk the streets of Kano without fear of harassment from the residents. Although Boko Haram insurgents terrorised the state for a period of time during his second term in office, his efforts to curb the growing threats by the Boko Haram terrorist group didn’t also go unnoticed.
