Activist Urges Ondo People To Vote Wisely by MacAnietie(m): 11:29pm On Jun 02, 2016 |
Lagos lawyer Yemi Omodele has advised the people of
Ondo State to resist any attempt by the out-going
governor , Dr. Segun Mimiko, to impose a candidate on
them during the November governorship election.
Omodele advised the people to vote for a candidate who
will serve them and make good use of the resources to
correct what he described as the “anormalies that have
bedeviled the state in the last eight years”.
He told reporters in Lagos that those who have been
imposing candidates on the people do so for selfish
reasons.
The lawyer, who is also an indigene of the state, said:
“the people of the state are hereby advised to and
persuaded to vote wisely and vote for a credible
candidate. They should avoid voting based on successor
or incumbency but vote on who has plans and focus for
the state now and in the nearest future. They should shun
politicians with sugar coated mouths and those who
make promises that cannot be fulfilled. Those who share
rice, salt, money and the likes primarily to get their votes
should be jettisoned.
“A candidate who is willingly and ready to render
selfless services for the state should be the one to be
elected.”
The activist accused the present administration of the
state of having failed the people pointing out that the
government has not done enough to improve their lot in
terms of performances.
“Poverty keeps on growing in the state just as the rich
are getting richer, the poor are getting poorer. Workers
salaries are not paid as at when due while the debt
profile continue to grow in spite that the state has
resources to make it shine above others.”
Omodele accused Mimiko of not doing enough in the area
of education and implementing segregation education
policy to the neglect of some communities.....#copied |
