Mimiko rounds off his campaign, tasks INEC on free, fair poll

From TUNDE RAHEEM, Akure

The Labour Party in Ondo State yesterday rounded off its rally with pomp and ceremony, as the candidate of the party in the Saturday election, Governor Olusegun Mimiko called on the INEC Chairman, Professor Attahiru Jega to ensure the election is free, fair and devoid of all forms of malpractice. Mimiko said the call became imperative, reminding the commission to protect its image by desisting from any election manipulation and rigging in favour of an unpopular party.

 
He also called on security agents to be up and doing during the election to ensure that the election was violence free.
Governor Mimiko assured the people of the state that his administration, if voted in for the second term, would continue his developmental programmes that would further take the state to a greater height. Also at the rally, the National Chairman of Labour Party, Dan Nwanyanwu called on the INEC Chairman, Professor Attahiru Jega to remove the Federal Commissioner of INEC Professor Lai Olorode, whom he described as card-carrying member of Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN).

 
Nwanyanwu, while addressing the LP supporters at the grand rally of the party in Akure said that for free, fair and credible election in the Saturday governorship election to take place, the federal INEC commissioner must be removed.
According to him, Olorode was representing the interest of ACN and working for the party in all states, saying investigation had shown that with him in INEC, the election in the state might be manipulated in favour of ACN candidate.
The former secretary to the Federal Government and leader of Afenifere, Chief Olu Falae in his turn lambasted Asiwaju Bola Tinubu of throwing decorum to the wind and displaying rascality in the public glare.

 
Falae also described him as an ingrate who, he said, forgot about the past easily. He said if not for his backing Tinubu would not have been governor of Lagos State.
The former minister of finance who went down memory lane said that his intervention saved Tinubu from being dropped as the candidate of Alliance for Democracy, saying that the late Funsho Williams was unanimously picked by the chieftains of the party and the late Abraham Adesanya that Tinubu must be picked.

 
“ Of course because of the respect we have for the late Adesanya we could not change his decision when he said he had picked him, I appealed to other elders to abide by our leader’s decision on the choice of Bola. That was how he was our party candidate.”
In a swift reaction, the Akeredolu Campaign Organization (ACO) has described the utterance of Chief Falae at the Labour Party (LP) Rally in Akure yesterday as a disappointment and unbecoming of someone who pretends to be an elderstatesman.
In a statement signed by Mr. Idowu Ajanaku, (ACO) director of media, publicity and strategy, the group said: “Falae is a man who has enjoyed so much goodwill from the Yoruba nation with nothing to show for it.

 
“The question that one who need Chief Falae to answer is why he would at old age stoop so low to tell lies in the name of canvassing for Governor Olusegun Mimiko, why would Falae forget so soon that at the formal declaration of Mimiko, he personally confirmed that he has failed to provide jobs for the teeming youths of Ondo State? Why would an old man like Falae be in concert with Mimiko to celebrate markets, fountain in a roundabout, boreholes as achievement by an oil-producing state in the 21st century?

    The account of Yinka Odumakin and “Bishop” Olu Falae were two different stories. This means that both are liars.

    The member in free trial
    membership cannot invite other
    people

    until he or

    And for a free trial
    member to migrate to full

    he or she has to activate his or
    her membership,
    by paying N1,500
    membership activation fee to

    So, that
    the person that invited him/her
    will
    activate his/her membership.
    After
    his/her membership activation,
    then would he/she be able to
    invite other

      I DON’T KNOW WHY IGBO BOYS SHOULD BE DECIDING FOR THE YORUBAS. OR ARE YOU SAYING THAT YOUR IGBO LAND IS BETTER THAN SOUTHWEST. BETTER SHUT YOUR MOUTHS AND LISTEN TO ONDO DECIDE.

    Tinubu has planned to rig the election with the help of INEC resident electoral commissioner together with good number of area boys from warri, Lagos, Ogun, and Benin. Jega pls be watchful on these elements from Tinubu camp.

      ACN states are doing well.Not many believed in Fashiola when Tinubu anionted him.Today everybody is using him as a yardstick for measuring good governance.I perceive Aketi as another or even a better Fashola.

    Please, we should call a spade a spade. We should pray to God to give us elect for us a good leader come this Saturday ACn/Pdp if anybody believe he can manipulate for the majority, such a person will never live to enjoy good health. The older people should live the stage for the younger generation. The world belong to the youth. Ondo state is noted for one term one governor so Mimiko should forget winning this election. Life should be live & let live. Pls vote either ACN / PDP

    Falae is a bastard for supporting a thief as governor, what is Mimiko achiement for 3 and half years with over N650billion.

    Thank God this is not PDP control state. Now ACN and other parties said LP have not done anything in the state. If it was PDP control state opposition will all say nothing is been done and also in ACN control state they will still say the same thing. Iyami. Dose it mean that no party in Nigeria has perform so that even opposition will say I want to build on the good work of my predecessor. Please Nigerians shine ur eyes politicians are using ur heads ooooo

    This so-called Owerri is fake. Why decry ACN – the party performing better than others in Nigeria of today? See .Lagos, Edo, Ekiti, Osun and other ACN states and compare to other states under PDP and LP. The difference is clear. Olu Falae is now hungry and still owing so much, so his support for Mimiko is understandable: he needs money. Let him continue to abuse Tinubu; but the the two of them contest election in Yourubaland and see if Falae will be shown any respect. He is a failure who was only moved up under the corrupt IBB junta.

    Watching Michael Iginni the other day on tv commenting on their (INEC)’s overall plan for elections brings a lot of hope. INEC officials should know that politicians are blackmailers, and as such, could not trusted. THEY WOULD BRIBE YOU AND SECRETLY RECORD THE TRANSACTION to be used against you later. Do your job honestly and leave the rest for providence and posterity. HE THAT HAVE EARS LET HIM HEAR!!!

    Olu Falae is a well respected man in Nigeria as whole & world at large,he cant tell lies,before he talks it must be something on solid bases.Tinube wanted to convert yoruba states to ACN but we are watching to see him in Ondo State.
