His Excellency (Rt. Hon.) Mohammed Umaru Bago has joined the ranks of what OrderPaper Nigeria terms the "ICONS of the Fourth Republic" - governors who climbed from legislative seats to executive positions.

Bago's journey from being a three-term member of the House of Representatives to Governor of Niger state follows a predictable path in Nigerian politics.

Since 1999, The Nigerian Senate has become a launching pad for political ambitions, and Senator Bassey Edet Otu is one of the personalities to make the jump from federal lawmaker to state governor.

Governor Otu's transition from the Senate to the governor's office follows a familiar pattern in Nigerian politics. This move is part of what OrderPaper Nigeria calls the "ICONS of the Fourth Republic" - a growing number of governors who previously served as lawmakers.

Before occupying the governor's seat, Governor Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri spent years in the Adamawa State House of Assembly, learning the nuts and bolts of lawmaking and governance.

Today, as Adamawa's governor, Fintiri represents a fascinating trend in Nigerian politics where former state lawmakers are taking charge of their states. Since 1999, this path from assembly member to governor has become increasingly common across the country.

This local legislative experience places him among the "ICONS of the Fourth Republic" - leaders studied by OrderPaper Nigeria who have successfully transitioned from making laws to implementing them.

Before taking the oath as Edo State's chief executive, Governor Monday Okpebholo served as a Senator, representing his constituents in the red chamber.

Now, as governor, Okpebholo joins a select group of Nigerian leaders who have successfully made the transition from federal lawmaker to state executive. This trend has become increasingly common since Nigeria's return to democracy in 1999.

This background makes him one of the "ICONS of the Fourth Republic" - a term coined by OrderPaper Nigeria to describe governors whose legislative experience gives them unique insights into governance.
