The Lagos State Governor, Akinwunmi Ambode has come under criticism from the Lagos State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, following his rating as the best performing Governor in the country in a poll conducted by the African Leadership Magazine.
The Lagos State chapter of the PDP in reaction to the rating claimed the Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose and his Ondo State counterpart, Olusegun Mimiko had performed better than the Lagos State governor.
The Lagos state PDP in reaction to the poll titled: “Good governance poll for Nigeria’s top performing governors” said the magazine’s poll was allegedly sponsored by the Lagos state government adding that the rating was aimed at misleading the public.
Further in defence of its point, the Publicity Secretary of the Lagos PDP, Gani Taofik, said: “Can Governor Akinwunmi Ambode walk on the streets and receive the same kind of support that Governor Fayose gets in Ekiti? Ambode’s elitist style cannot be compared to that of Mimiko and Fayose, who are governors that the common man recognises and relates easily with.
“Ambode cannot match the popularity and acceptability that both Mimiko and Fayose command in Ondo and Ekiti states respectively. Fayose and Mimiko are far better than Ambode”.
