The Governor is the riveting tale of Angela Ochello , the Deputy Governor of Savannah State who with no governorship ambitions finds herself suddenly entangled in a web of political intrigue after the untimely death of the incumbent Governor.
As audiences embark on this journey with Angela , we see how with the help of her trusted Chief of Staff, she learns how to maneuver through the rough and shark - infested waters of politics whilst balancing the demands of her matrimonial home.
The Governor is set in Savannah , a coastal state in Western Africa established in 1964 and extremely rich in iron ore . Known for its widely spaced grassland with temperate weather conditions and unique tourist attractions , Savannah has a population of 15 million people majority of who are fishermen and farmers . The rich cultural diversity and political awareness of the people makes it one of the most politically active states in the country .
The Governor will take constituents and citizens alike through the shadowy often gruesome corridors of power and promises to be packed with lots of intrigue , drama and sometimes humour . Can Angela standup to her rivals and assume her place as Governor ? Will the fear of losing her husband cause her to forfeit this opportunity?
