Now, let's talk about how much both states have earned over their istration. Both Federal Allocations, Grants, Donor aides & IGR.

The next phase of this discussion will center on the impact of this projects on the people of both states, the Feasibility and ease of completion.

Ok

Soludo is currently the undisputable worse governor in South Eastern Nigeria

Uzodinmma has actively killed Ndi Imo and turned Imo into a warzone, while Soludo's only project is burning traditional shrines , harassing market women and commenting on Peter Obi.
I will pick Uzo D.

the words used will tell you that you're dealing with an ineffectual man. No results, just aims and prioritzing

Ofodirinwa:

Soludo is a disappointment. Peter mbah under just a year has completed more projects than soludo that has almost wasted 4 year constructing funcity & ekwulobia flyover.

ALEX OTTI of abia state is the worst governor in south east and the worst among the 36 states governors

One was duly elected, the other one was appointed by Kekere-Ekun's Supreme court ruling.

Not listening or thinking he knows it all might be a character flaw....but that's not the point here.

We are talking of Gross earnings, and project initiated, ongoing and completed initiated by either of them.

Security is on another level as both States are plagued by pockets of criminal elements who I think the leaders in either state knows!

If fowl loss for area, go ask men wey mount, them go tell you who fit run am!

SGANIVA:

Another dimension....lol.

Assuming it's past tense now. Let's talk about what either of them have done with income both States received.

Dalohad:

Facts..... Not emotions. And we aren't comparing with other parts of Nigeria, to avoid turning the thread to a hot spot for vawulence...

Soludo vs Otti....

You can compare your state governor with others in your region

that ekwulobia own they pain me because iam currently their now the bridge sub standard the road stretching to Awka connecting both isuofia nanka and others also sub standard despite he is from those axis . The materials used in filling cannot withstand test of time, never adhere to the compaction procedures.

I am not Apc. Uzodimma doesn't make noise about many projects he is executing. Though Governors are Chief security Officers, i can not use insecurity to rate any Governor or President. Politicians are desparate, it takes only money for your opponent or enemy to hire killers to continue on killing rampage. Uzodimma road projects is putting food on my table, by enabling smooth business. Owerri do not observe sit at home. Uzodimma is a silent achiever. I stoped puting my trust on only innocent looking Governors when Udenwa performed.

It appears you know Uzodinma projects very well. Since.he doesn't make noise and have executed many projects according to you, do well to him make the noise now. Mention 5 outstanding project executed by Uzodinma not awuru awu projects I.

Soludo and Peter mba and Alex oti are the best in the SE so far.
Hope is the worst!
Come to anambra and see things for yourself.
Come to enugu and see things
Come to abịa and see things

I have gone to imo severally, you will weep.

Op for the fact that u are comparing uzodimma and soludo shows you know know nothing happeing in Anambra

This should not be a topic for discussion. It is obvious that Hope Uzodimma is the worst.

I share this sentiment too. I once met him in 2006 or there about. I tell you, I never expected him to be an abysmal failure!

Damn....a Prof of Economics at that!

luvinhubby:

Soludo might slightly edge over Hope in this regards, cos Hope has actually done nothing worthy of commending!

Well, the facts will show itself shortly

Goldsplash:

I beg to disagree. Honestly, I have been following developments in Anambra since Soludo came onboard... Sincerely speaking I'm disappointed.

Do you know with less than $10M the coastlines on Anambra side of River Niger at Onitsha, through Otuocha will be one of the hottest selling piece of real estate in West Africa?

Yes.... A little reclaimation and Piers.... people will pay to just walk through and feel the cool breeze of River Niger.

The odds favor him.... Asaba has a local Movie industry independent off Lagos. There are thousands of money bags...etc

But....Prof disappoint terribly!

Solsix:

I don't argue with people who don't have facts, pls check next door

Hope is the only governor that kills his own people. Hope is the worst governor on earth, someone that removed the only zoological garden in the east, cut all the trees of over 99 years old, move all the animals and fence the area against the court order that he should leave the ancestral land to the owners. Hope has virtually sold all the lands in new owerri to his friends including cubana chief priest and co. Go to owerri you’ll hardly see light and it’s all his arrangement. On getting to assumpta cathedral owerri he has dug a very big hole claiming he wants to build a fly over. Abeg make we leave matter.

This is a very disproportionate comparison in every sense of it.

No governor in Nigeria, comes close to Hope uzodinma..

Since 1999, no imolite travelled from Owerri to Enugu in less than one hour, until Hope came on board and constructed the 47 km federal road project.

Hope uzodinma, constructed the 37km Owerri orlu federal road projects and other federal by es

Hope is currently constructing the 39km Owerri umuahia federal road (which is at its finishing stage as we speak).


During the first tenure of hope, he tarred streets of commoners in Owerri, which earned him a return in second term

Hope uzodinma embarked on several rural road projects.

Hope uzodinma is the only governor among the NDDC states that's holding NNDC able to projects meant for Development; visitors to imo, during the yuletide, will testify to these projects scatted all over Imo communities.
Visit many health centers in Imo communities today, you will be highly impressed with staffing and equipments.

Hope uzodinma is the reason almost all LGA is having the ambience of Owerri



#Nwangele LGA

Many visitors now appreciate how beautiful Owerri is, because you have to use alternative routes as the construction of assumpta flyover continues

Hitting Port harcourt road from one of the byes



Owerri is too cute and Hope uzodinma is still rehabilitating failed section of roads in the capital city
