A chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Rilwan Olanrewaju, has named three governors who have performed well within their first years in office.

Speaking in an exclusive interview with Legit.ng, he said Governor Ademola Adeleke of Osun state, and his counterparts in Delta and Adamawa states, Sheriff Oborevwori and Ahmadu Fintiri, are currently the best-performing governors in Nigeria.

He opined that the governors, who are from the southwest, south-south, and northeast have done well in delivering good governance to their people.

He commended the governors for implementing realistic policies, promoting infrastructural development, and maintaining peace in their states. However, he noted that governors can only do so much because the president and ministers mostly implement national policies.

His statement reads: "I know the majority of governors are trying their best, but what can they do when the president and the ministers are in charge of making national policies?

"I can say Governor Ademola Adeleke of Osun state, Governor Ahmadu Fintiri of Adamawa state, and Governor Sheriff Francis Oborevwori of Delta state are my three outstanding governors in terms of physical policies, infrastructural developments, and less unrest.

"I can only urge the rest of the governors to brace up and make a difference so that the citizens can at least enjoy the dividends of democracy."
