PDP’s 2015 OUTRAGEOUS LONG LIST OF GUBERNATORIAL ASPIRANTS FOR EACH STATE IN NIGERIA (7)

The number of people interested in vying for political elective post is increasing with each year since 1999. Every Nigerian understands that the increase in the business is due to the high earnings of elected politicians, coupled with the fact that corruption is unchecked.

As a friend would always say, politics is the only functioning factory in Nigeria, so everyone has to seek employment from there. Most other employable institutions have long been rundown by the carelessness of the leaders. The business is also one of the only one in the world where a ‘no-body’ could rise to the level of the world’s richest in just a few years after getting hold of a position.

It is also evident that politics has no particular qualification requirement; hence every Tom, Dick and Harry has equal opportunity to aspire. These have given birth to the current do-or-die attitude of politicians who employ every whim to belong.

Politics in Nigeria is now a free-for-all profession and Nigeria has never witnessed a lower quality of leadership.

The following are names and number of Gubernatorial Aspirants for each State so far. More states are to follow;
