Mimiko has failed Ondo people – Gov’s ex-aides

mimiko
Some former lawmaker, commissioners and
special assistants to the Ondo State Governor,
Dr. Olusegun Mimiko, have said the governor
had disappointed the people of the state who
voted for him.

The former aides were among members of the
Peoples Democratic Party who defected to the
main opposition party, the All Progressives
Congress, in Akure, the Ondo State capital.

Among the defectors were former
Commissioner for Technical and Adult
Education, Mrs. Kehinde Momoh; former
Commissioner for Local Government Affairs and
Chieftaincy Matter, Mr. Tayo Oluwatuyi; former
state lawmaker, who represented Ilaje State
Constituency 1, Mr. Oyebo Aladetan; a former
Senior Special Assistant to the Governor, Mr.
Banji Kuroloja, among others.

The defectors said they decided to join the APC
in their bid to join the ‘Change Train’ which, they
said, was moving in the state.

They alleged that the ruling PDP under the
leadership of Mimiko had failed the state.

At the ceremony held at the state secretariat of
the APC in Akure, a former PDP chieftain, Mr.
Bailey Arohunmolase, who spoke on behalf of
others, said the former PDP chieftains were
ready to work with the APC towards achieving
the goal of winning the November 26, 2016
governorship election in the state.

In his reaction to the development, the Director
of Media and Publicity of the PDP, Mr. Ayo
Fadaka, described the defectors as ‘light weights’
whose departure would not shake the party.
Fadaka, who stressed that many of the defectors
would be disappointed in the APC, said the PDP
was waxing stronger on daily basis.

He said, “They are hardly assets wherever they
are, they were not relevant in our party and
their politics is based on opportunism; wherever
they see opportunity, they move. You can be
rest assured that within the next few months,
they will be disappointed in the APC.”
