Yes that is what i am saying as well, that the Beginning and the end of the LP is Ondo State...and people should stop nailing Tinubu because every Nigerian politician is a prospective GODFATHER...Mimiko is the beginning and the end of the Labor Party and gradually building himself into a godfather also though a weak one. He is enjoying his ride now and isolation seem to be working for him, but it wont work for life...even in Ondo state because he is the only vote-able person in that party. The rest are just onlookers...

The ACN selection style did not work this time, but has worked before (Oyo,Ekiti,Osun,etc) and can work again, the LP is worst than ACN if we are talking about internal democracy as we only have ONE MAN in the Party and the PDP that encourages internal democracy produces candidates of questionable characters for the South West...

I voted for him because I know he has not performed so badly and it is almost an impossible mission to remove him from office. The easiest way to fight Godfathers is to provide the people with the dividends of democracy. FASHOLA would have won a second term even as an INDEPENDENT candidate without a party.

My suggestion, people should ignore these parties and just vote for the best persons in our elections...

take dat: The first thing I noticed from this election is that they seem to be a lot of voters apathy. One would have thought with the election fever that pervaded everywhere before the actual election, more voters would have turned out to cast their votes for a candidate of their choice.

From my own view this is still a good showing from LP. The mere fact that Mimiko got high votes in perceived ACN and PDP stronghold shows that the people of Ondo likes him.

ACN also tried even with all the anti Tinubu sentiment he still pulled a 100k plus votes out of say 500k valid votes. Not minding the it has more of a political novice as its candidate and it is a relatively new party in Ondo State (reasons for a long time they dilly dialled with Mimiko thinking he was going to decamp to ACN. Guess there started putting in structures on ground in Ondo just say 2yrs ago).

PDP just lost that seat less than 4yrs ago, one would have thought they should still have structures on ground. Some people from Abuja (ie Agagu, minister representing Ondo, Kuku etc) just didn't put things right and I think they had this problem of imposition just like ACN.

Mimiko himself stated in an interview that he co operates with the ACN governors when it comes to regional integration. Mind you Governors Forum has no political colouration.

The people of Ondo have made their choice

Alxmyr: Its a call to the likes of Ayo Fayose to return to Labour Party and stop frolicking with PDP.
PDP will not fly in SW. ACN is gathering much hatred and stemming from Mimiko's victory, a rapport with Mimiko will sway people's sympathy to him.
SW always want to be seen as independent. Fayose will do better, if he start building his strong in LP.
Likewise, Ladoja should find his way to LP. This will automatically give him a better stand and an independent candidature free from PDP and Tinubu.

politician:


What you have said is just the TRUTH!!
I worked with Mimiko campaign orgainzation in 2007! Ȋ̝̊̅ write articles for the partisan newspaper he used to flush agagu!!

ACN made a mistake of TRUST!! Something that does not exist in politics!!
Let's leave performance index, this election is about an agreement!! -- help me to fight my enemy, Ȋ̝̊̅ would join you.

ACN left ondo state out of the political scheme during the last election believing mimiko would cross carpet!!

Prof boroface + others could not renegade on the agreement, they joined ACN from LP!!

The prof days are numbered as a senator as a petition is on ground already!!

ACN funded mimiko's court cases, even used adaba Fm to counter OSRC!!

And ACN that i know( yes i do) knew it was a lost-cause, little wonder, they didn't even try to rig!!
The alleged riggers were all LP!!

The choice of akeredolu further stress the system of fielding technocrats by ACN!! Accomplished professionals in their field and that was a mistake in this case, olusola oke on an ACN platform will have closed the gap!! Ale was just too musch of a gentleman!

Jagaban taking the election personal too really fuelled mimiko' strategy of ''appeal to pity''.
Mimiko survives only as a one-man entity!!
A very good strategist!!

As for the apathy, some people were I̶̲̥̅̊n̶̲̥̅̊ a dilemma on who to vote for, others are just too scared to be seen voting the opposition!!

ACN played politics of brotherhood----- trust and investment gone awry!!

And bro, the people of Ondo did not like mimiko, they only hate tinubu, can't forget the Cocoa house issue and want to protect their oil from the so-called tinubu-company!!

politician:

If all this should happen as you professed,

And what would that make MIMIKO...... A GODFATHER too..

Just a cycle of events... One Godfather down, another rise from the ashes!!!

alphonso k: mimiko wil fail in d next 4yrs.mimiko s a bad governor wen it comes 2 performance n ondo shu prepare 4 fruitless yrs.ondo ppl r like a dog that want 2 get loss wil nt yield 2 d whistle of a hunter.good luck 2 ondo state ppl as dey continue in poor governance.dat s their destiny

Alxmyr:

Mimiko need not be a godfather.
The system is already divided against ACN.
People will not go back to PDP.
ACN is performing less than their expectation and more importantly, people are seeing ACn as another PDP in a new garb.
Mimiko election is the tipping point that another political strategist in SW can latch on and capitalise on.

omiobo:

Abegi,leave all this Godfather bullshit! Do you know what it takes to be a godfather? Money!!

take dat: I concur. For ACN to still have a little appeal they most not challenge the outcome of this election if not that will spell doom for them. I'd expect them to be the first to congratulate Mimiko so that other SW neutrals won't see them as bad losers.
In the long run I see ACN, LP and some other parties merging. The only way to get rid of god fatherism is by having Mega Parties in Nigeria.

garri_gangster:
The AC-HEN and LP can't merge. Darkness and Light can't work together

garri_gangster:

take dat: All political parties are the same but with different individuals. My only reason for them to merge is because we can't keep creating god fathers in the SW and so that Tinubu's power can be usurped. The people in LP today were in AD the day before and PDP yesterday. Politicians are all the same all they need is a platform

politician:


Like i said sir!! The discussion is for mature minds and adult!!

Pls ask him, where is the former ondo state chairman of LP -- olaiya oni!!

Carrying an ACN membership card!!

Senator Prof boroface -- LP -ACN

And mimiko too was. AD -- PDP--LP


Ȋ̝̊̅ won't mention the jumpology to PDP!!

The problem is with the system!! We often vote parties out hoping for a change and they just turn out to be the same!!

CrazyMan: I won't be surprised if INEC declears ACN winner.

I would therefore suggest that we keep our fingers crossed till the main results comes out.

Maxymilliano: Failure is indeed an orphan, where are the online voters who were screaming Aketi for governor few weeks ago?

The era of propaganda is over and this should served as lessons to Tinubu and his Asiwaju Corporation of Nincompoop, you can't force your will on people.

The expected outcome of the election will sure prove to the whole world that Tinubu is just a human afterall, and not a god.

What a waste of time and money for Tinubu, what a misadventure, what a way to be demystified.

omiobo: From the onset,PDP didn't have political structure in SW. As far as PDP is kicked out,I'm happy.
I'm not a member of A.CN,but I so much cherish their strong ideology to stand against PDP. Hadn't been Tinubu is not strong enough to stand against PDP,mimiko won't be where he is today. Tinubu fought for him to retain his mandate.
