At a time when Tinubu and other ACN governors were busy lying to the electorates,Governor Olusegun Mimiko's chance of victory on saturday got a boast as a faction of the Ondo pdp endorsed the Governor for a second term based on his performance.


PDP faction endorses Mimiko, expels Agagu, others


THE crisis in the Ondo state Peoples Democratic Party PDP yesterday became messier as a faction of the party announced the expulsion of the immediate past governor, Dr. Olusegun Agagu and five other leaders of the party over alleged anti party activities.

The factional leaders had themselves been expelled from the party on Sunday also announced their endorsment of Dr. Mimiko.

Addressing newsmen in Akure, the PDP factional leader, Prof Olu Agbi said that they decided to endorse Governor Mimiko for a second term because the PDP candidate, Chief Olusola Oke cannot fly in the coming election.

According to Agbi, “the candidacy of Oke is faulty from the foundation, the circumstances surrounding his emergence shows that he is not prepared and that he is still having “under corruption charges against him pending at the EFCC which was used against him in 2007.”

Agbi, who is a former Ambassador to Austria, said that the purported expulsion of his faction was void and of no consequence because the state executive of the party led by Alabi” is not only illegal and existing in contempt of a valid court order that has not been set aside. “The arbitrariness of this action that smacks of lack of respect for constituted authority which had been our complaints about how the party was being run has again manifested itself to the whole world.

Reacting, the state PDP described the factional leaders as “expired politicians whose economic woes have forced them to worship for a pittance at the altar of Governor Mimiko.

The Special Adviser Media and Publicity of the Olusola Oke Campaign organisation, Kunle Adebayo said “instead of attempting to stop the moving train of progress driven by the masses of Ondo state, for the very last time, we urge Governor Mimiko to tow the path of honour by throwing in the towel and joining the PDP before humiliation and disgrace drops its luggage at his doorstep on Saturday October 20th. PDP knows neither faction nor disagreement. It does not know or support Labour Party or anybody named Rahman Olusegun Mimiko.”

” It supports integrity, Honesty, Modesty and action which our candidate Chief Olusola Oke represents.”

The Akpata Community Development Association in Ese Odo local government area of Ondo State has thrown its weight behind the re-election of Dr Olusegun Mimiko of Ondo State.

In a statement by its Publicity Secretary, Mr Legbe Oyerigha, the association it hinged its support for Dr Mimiko over “his giant strides in the riverine areas of the state. He has taken governance from a theoretical to a practical realm.”

It added that “the Labour Party-led administration has been able to demonstrate that it is possible for a viable synergy to be created between the government and the governed by putting in place projects that will make people see themselves as part of government”.

Besides, the forum explained that the initiative taken by Dr Mimiko, “has been able to take people off the streets and relocate them into better places. The new urban programmes has helped in transforming glorified villages to befitting cities.”

Sunshine State, BRACE YOURSELF. Saturday is going to be a turning point in your existence.

that's true and Mimiko is taking the day

IROKO JOR...............GBASIBE.... yes i'm razz

I DEY LAUGH

We are waiting to see where all these defections and alliances will eventually lead to. I dey wait for the result which i'm sure will shock a lot of people! If any of these candidates (Mimiko, Akeredolu and Oke) no win as much as they believe they will, hmmm...Ondo go boil pass Borno! It's foreseeable>>>

nah God go punish una, if una non go desist frm telling lies....name one development una don bring to riverine area....*don't forget dis is whr d state resources comes frm ooo

I pray Mimiko takes that day, I think olusola OKE should support mimiko's re-election bid. It may be too late for that but I allign with that PDP faction because Mimiko remains a PDP member in a deeper sense so the common enemies are Tinubu , his puppet, Akeredolu and their bigotry party.

MIMIKO all the way

PDP candidate, your colleagues say make you go queue.case closed

POLITICS IS LIKE WOMAN


The same people who expelled people for anti-party activities are the very same people behind an opposition member.

The fear of Hunger is the beginning of wisdom.

GOOD PEOPLE OF ONDO STATE, PLEASE DO NOT VOTE BASED ON PARTY, KINDLY SEARCH YOUR HEART AND VOTE FOR THE RIGHT CANDIDATE. DO NOT BE DECEIVED BY THESE POLITICIANS AND THEIR EMPTY PROMISES, I AM NOT FROM ONDO SO I WOULDN'T KNOW WHICH CANDIDATE IS BETTER.

MY ADVISE IS, IF THE CURRENT GOVERNOR HAS DONE WELL PLS VOTE FOR HIM AGAIN, BUT IF HE DIDN'T PERFORM WELL KINDLY VOTE HIM OUT. THIS IS WHAT WE WILL DO TO ROCHAS AT THE EXPIRATION OF HIS TENURE. DURING THAT TIME WE WILL ACCESS IMO VERY WELL, IF WE THINK HE HAS DONE WELL WE WILL VOTE FOR HIM AGAIN, IF HE DIDN'T PERFORM WELL WE WILL VOTE HIM OUT OF OFFICE LIKE WHAT WE DID TO OHAKIM...

I MUST ADD THIS, IT SEEMS MOST GOVERNORS DON'T DO WELL DURING SECOND TERM. TAKE AMAECHI AND FASHOLA FOR INSTANCE. WE ALL KNOW FASHOLA DID WONDERS DURING HIS FIRST TERM, BUT THIS TIME HE IS TOO SLOW. AMAECHI OF RIVERS STATE WAS ON CRUISE CONTROL DURING HIS FIRST TERM, HE BUILT WORLD CLASS SCHOOLS ALL OVER THE STATE, STANDARD ROADS /HOSPITALS IN MANY PARTS OF THE STATE ETC, BUT THIS TIME WE DON'T KNOW WHAT AMAECHI IS DOING. IT SEEMS THESE GOVERNORS USUALLY USE SECOND TERM TO SETTLE THEIR FRIENDS/FAMILIES AND SAVE MONEY FOR RAINY DAYS

Whot do u xpect frm party lyk PDP to do b4 than to support a rulin party in state. They never support ACN because is their rival. All dsame saturday election will tell.

THE LIST OF MEDIA BEHIND MIMIKO, VANGUARD, TRIBUNE,AIT,NATIONAL MIRROR, THESE MEDIA THERE OWN IS TO WRITE BAD AGAINST OPPOSITION PARTY.

[color=#990000][/color][font=Lucida Sans Unicode][/font]PROF. AGBI, ADEKOGE AND THE REST AT THAT PRESS CONFERENCE DEMONSTRATED THEIR LEVEL SANITY. OLD MEN OF THEIR STATURE COULD HAVE TAKEN THE STATE TO A PEACEFUL ELECTION ON SATURDAY, BUT YOUNGER PEOPLE LIKE ME ARE HIGHLY EMBARRASSED. IT IS SHOW OF SHAME. OLUSHOLA OKE IS STILL IN THE RACE. LET THE PEOPLE OF ONDO STATE DECIDE.
