Iroko carry go. No shipishipin
2 GOD ALMIGHTY B ALL GLORY, Iroko, Ondo people has spoken, 2 hear dat Acn came a distance 3rd is shocking considering all d abrakadabra Tinubu n his loyalist brought 2 d stage, nigerians are now wiser, IROKO I WISH U D VERY BEST, This is wat we prayed 4, Thank GOD. 08032087784
The Electorates, has the power to chose who governs them, unperforming governors take note of this. Congrats mimiko.
Shame to Mr. Ojuyobo, Tinubu, dont ever dare to up-root iroko with his mere broom.
tank God 4 mimiko
whoever is the winner what we need in nigeria is change!i thank God for him ooooooo
lt is unbelivable dat ACN came third afta tinibu’s gospel and 4bn laudge by PDP.it is indeed victory & humilation 2 ACN nationwide.this victory confirm Mimiko’s truthfulness 2 pple like us 4m another state.Ondo made a wise choice.congrat Mimiko!
Congrats to the great Iroko, mimiko. U can nvr sweep away an iroko tree with a mere broom nor neither cover an iroko with an umbrella. If not for the useless and extremely corrupt salami, this tribalistic party ACN would have remain relevant in only lagos island nt even lagos as a whole. Apart 4rm edo state, which oshiomole won cos of his personality, acn has nvr won any election cos they r too tribalistic and serial riggers. This election has shown who they are. Ondo people have said no to tribalism,lies and thuggery. I am very certain that acn will lose all d state they fraudulently acquired thru salami. Acn as a party is a living dead party as far as democracy is concern even if they control all the lagos media, they will still lose in future election and will always take their customary position which is last. Even the corrupt PDP is better than the tribalistic ACN
Dis is good news. Kudos to Ondo pple. Shame on all those on ego trip & empire building @ all cost. Hope all nigerians wil replicate dis performance come 2015.
It is not surprising anyway, but did they think IROKO tree is easily removed, and get it clear Ondo is not voting for party but for personality, so consider your next attempt. ok? IROKO be a shade to all and lets feel your impact, Congrat
Good, Nigeria is becoming good since PDP were unable to carry the victory as usual, or may be we are tired of corruption, Thanks be to God for good things are coming to Nigeria. Amen.
Congratulations Iroko !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Where is Tinubu The Noise Maker? His Days Are Numbered.

I have said it b4 and will continue to say it, apart from Fashola other ACN members are agberos represented by their chairmen and counsellors who are being selected and imposed by an “Area Father”. When u talk of ACN, people only think of Fashola. Let Fashola finish his tenure, it is then dat Tinubu will come to terms with reality. If not for d fact dat Lagos LGA election was conducted and manipulated by ACN, their area boys were completely rejected. Nonsense. Fashola even try to call Tinubu to order on his 60th birth celebration but he was so full of himself telling Fashola dat he can not change b’cos he is d modern day King Solomon. I am not a member of any party but I admire Fashola and Oshomole.
Hon. Mimiko u know we prayd 4 u & God has answerd our prayrs. I wish u gud yrs in office. Plz dn’t 4get us while in office- 07039094231 & 08093809039

Mimiko was a good leader! I said it before the Election day,Nigerian problem was PDP bad leadership. Iwish God should wipe away the Government in Nigeria.

Ondo pple have spoken , Ondo say no to godfatherism ,bad governance and political gold diggers . Congratulations Dr. Mimiko
He got less than 45% of the votes. The people of Ondo surely are not satisfied with his performance.
No weaponry vendata,blackmail,calumny or intimidation can vancuish the people’s wish with God on our side. Hallelujah! MIMIKO,Please be magnanimous. Do not give reasons for the opponents to say their prediction is right. Do even more in places you were not even voted for. We love u &shall continue to pray for u. Fear God,don’t forget Him. Let the coastal coasters return to their coast. Abanije bara re je. Igi ti Oluwa gbin,eda kan ko le faa tu. CONGRATS JOo

Most of you that added comment are fools,including all the useless igbo man in the house. How many eastern state can you people compare to the states CAN is controlling ? That’s why we will never allow the igbo’s to rule us in Nigeria beacuse they reason from their anus. Despite all Fashola as done in Lagos,igbo men still compalin he as done nothing while all their governor,with exception of Rochas Okorocha of Imo state,none his performing. Talking about those casting aspersion on the person of Bola Amhed Tinubu,most of you do it because of are jealous and no matter how you tarnish hois hard earned image,Asiwaju will alwayz be at the forefront will your father’s will be behind. Talking about an election that is not as free as fair as that of Edo,did you hear of snatchoing of ballot during Edo election. Like it happened in Ondo in the just concluded election ? Soneone said CAN as never won election because he his a stranger in his own country. Thank God Mimiko won,we shall see what will become of Ondo state in the next four years. And for those that voted LP,may it not be well with whoever complain about Mimiko for the next four years. You all voted for Jonathan massively the same way and tell me what you peope have got to show for it. CAN won with a very wide margin in Edo compared to what happened in Ondo state. Mimiko won less than 45 percent that’s to tell you he his not being accepted like generality of the people
In the face of GEJ’s inadequacies, ostensible is the manifest unwavering devotion of this man to enshrining “your vote must count in Nigeria”. Ondo State has buttressed his promise. Owing to this lone act,therefore, I am of an undaunted support to giving him a chance to return to ASO ROCK come 2015 except he decides otherwise. Election manipulation and squabbling is on a slow but steady decline since president GEJ took over the helm of affairs in this country. Congrats Ondonists, Good job Jega and INEC, well done GEJ, welcome back Mimiko. If you disagree with me, then shoot your argument for discussion
Congratulation’s to mimiko
Let Tinubu go back to lagos and continue where he stoped, pls let’s not forget to ask Tinubu who killed funsh williams.
Shame to Tinubu
Some ppl are not conversant wt ondo politics. 4 anyone 2 say dat nobody had won d second time is to say Baba Ajasin was never from Ondo state. That apart, congrats 2 Mimiko. Larger percentage of those who think beyond their stomach had given you a second chance. So live beyond sentiment, think of a means to consolidate on your past achievement & make all pessimists liars. The task before u & Oshiomole is a herculean one. Dont allow ds second term to rubbish the niche dat you have carved for yourself. Dont sideline those areas where u had less votes. They do not hate u but money really exchaged hands in those places. The ppl value you from the inside. No right thinking person will exchange d educational fortune of his chidren for a pot of porridge. Allow development to spread evenly as you know dat rain from God fall all d same without consideration for anyone, whether you are His or not. Bai Mimiko, do more on education & trust God, your legacy wl remain 4 life. Kudos
@joseph becky, yu are the most senseless idiot, for calling igbo’s names. The developer of nigeria, including yr tribe yoruba, can yu go to any eastern state nd establish yr self there, useless idiot, just wash yr tongue.
Congratz Dr Mimiko d Iroko of Ondo……Carry go
The edo & ondo state election attest that,under democratic system,govermental power lie in d hand of electorate.free & fair election belong 2 d masses and not d president.However,d president “must”provide a fair playing ground 4 d success of any election regardless of any party @ d helm of affair of d state.
then please can you people tell the GOC that the election has finished and a winner has emerged so let him take his shooters back to the barrack..congrats MIMIKO
Congratulation Mr. Mimiko. Just remember that your victory is for all Ondo people irrespective of who voted for you or not. You are the father of the State and must see to the welfare of all. Never join the cream of our corrupt leaders to impoverish your state.
This is victory for hard work and hope for democracy in Nigeria. Tinubu should learn how not to play god. He can never be one.
An Iroko Tree Is One Of The Hard Wood In The Forest Distinguihes Itself To Form An Entity Of Is Own.
In deed, Dr Olusegun Rahman Mimiko You Are An Iroko Tree.
Congratulations.
Joseph Becky or whatever you call yourself, you are a tribalistic bigot and an illitrate per excellence. Please go back to Nursery school and learn how to spell ACN, HAS and IS before you come back to comment on public domain. That is if any school will accept you.
Pls mr GOVERNOR ,GOVERNOR WELL.GOD BLESS AS U DO.
Edo & Ondo state election attest 2 fact dat democracy is all about d ruled and not d ruler.free and fair election lied in d hand of electorate and not president.However, president “must”provide a fair playing-ground 4 d success of any election regardless of any party in power in d 36 states of d federation of Nig.
The election of Imo, Edo and Ondo States conducted by INEC which the votes of people count and the right chioce of the people emerge, there will be mega transformation in the State.
Gradually, the confidence of INEC is restore because the margin of the winner of Ondo State election
Dr Olusegun Mimiko, Barrister Olusola Oke and Barrister Rotimi Akeredolu is slim.
Prof. Biyi Daramola of the Federal University Of Technology did a good job.
Bravo Zuru Prof. Biyi Daramola.
what makes me to feel bad sometimes is that some idiots will leave the point of discussions here and start talking about tribes here..i am a core igbo man and i’m ready to die for my tribe if what they are doing is good so i will be the last idiot to support an igbo who is fucking only because he is an igbo God forbid..please my brodas let us follow fact before discussing ok..we are talking about the election here castes and worn by MIMIKO …so please talk only about this issue period
Congratulations to Mimiko and INEC for their wonderful performance during the election.
Every body should understand that victory comes from God
Ondo pple have spoken , Ondo say no to
godfather’s ,bad governance,no to those political vultures and political gold
diggers . Congratulations Dr. Mimiko man of the people

I think a right thinking person should expect this victory,because we have began to sustain democracy in Nigeria. It is a victory for democracy and not for Mimmiko. INEC is now independent. kudos to our president for upholding the rule of law and not rule to finish like past governments.
