Ojo alleged that governor Mimiko had perfected plans to rig the polls in Ondo, Oyo, Osun, Ekiti, Lagos state and in some areas of Edo, Sahara Reporters informs.

Speaking with a correspondent in Akure, Ojo added that Mimiko had distributed N7m to each of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) wards in Ondo. The ex commissioner also disclosed how Mimiko would use “political thugs” to ensure Jonathan’s success. According to him, GEJ cannot win legally in Ondo.

“Governor Mimiko can’t lie to me that he didn’t received two billion naira. The money is now been dispatched ward to ward for the purpose of rigging this presidential election. We all can see that the governor has been moving with his agents from one local government to another in the name of gathering support for President Goodluck Jonathan, doling out funds for people to vote the PDP candidate.

“I bet, President Goodluck Jonathan and his PDP candidates can’t win elections in Ondo State because the people have seen that they were only been cajoled and deceived by the PDP. They know PDP is a failure in Ondo State, and Mimiko came to the party for further destruction.”

Then Ojo attacked governor Mimiko’s person by referring to his past:

“Go and ask people who knew the journey of how Raman Mimiko became the governor of Ondo State. They will tell you that he is never a man someone can trust with his own life. We know what we lost for bringing Mimiko into government. He later became the governor, after many people sold their house, properties and some even lost their life for his ambition. He started witch hunting the people that helped him into power.

“He forgot the fingers that fed him while the road was still very rough. Already, he has failed and if there is anything you can compare him with, it is ‘evil’ because he deserves nothing more from the people of the state than to send him and his Jonathan parking.”

The All Progressives Congress (APC) member, Ojo insisted that 18 parties were ready to support Muhammadu Buhari and his running mate Yemi Osinbajo.

“Buhari must come as president, Mimiko must go as governor. We are ready to show Mimiko out of Ondo State, and if Jonathan is sent parking, our betrayer Governor Mimiko knows he is leaving as well. He has been following the President up and down like a loose dog, lavishing the resources of the state on trips and private costs while civil servants and people of the state are languishing in poverty.”

He concluded by vowing to ensure backing for the APC presidential candidate.

“I can assure you that we would use the current crisis rocking the PDP in Ondo State to gain more support for General Muhammadu Buhari.”

It was reported earlier today that about 2,000 APC members defected to the PDP in Ondo State. The incident occurred during Mimiko’s rally in support of Jonathan.
