…It’s bad investment –Mimiko
By OMONIYI SALAUDEEN
The three major contending political parties in Saturday’s governorship election in Ondo State have continued to trade words over allegations of rigging plans.
Sunday Sun gathered that one of the main opposition political parties, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has set aside a whopping N5 billion to induce the electorate on the day of election to achieve victory and wrest power from incumbent Governor Olusegun Rahamon Mimiko of the Labour Party (LP).
A close source within the party, who doesn’t want his name mentioned in print said: “We are going to shock the people of Ondo State in this election. We have been hearing the people talking of power of incumbency; our party does not in any way feel threatened. We are forging ahead with our aggressive campaign and we are not going to rest on our oars until we achieve victory. Even with the enormous resources within the LP, we are going to square up with them, money for money, strength for strength.
“As I speak with you, over N5 billion has already been set aside for logistic arrangements and other contingency needs. Let’s wait and see.”
In a quick reaction to the allegation, Media Aide to Governor Mimiko, Mr. Femi Adepoju, said LP remained unperturbed by the threat of PDP.
His words: “Any money spent by either ACN or PDP is going to be a lost investment. Those who know the political antecedents of Ondo State people know they cannot be bought over by money. Ondo people are too sophisticated, enlightened and politically mature to be bought with money. Besides, they appreciate what it takes to have good governance, which our governor ably represents. Already, our achievements are there for everyone to see. So, if they like they can bring all the money in the Central Bank to Ondo, it will not change the support of the people for this government.
“Rather, it is going to be a lost investment, it is going to be money down the drain. On Saturday, we shall renew our mandate with the people under a free and fair contest. That, I can assure you.”
This accusation is coming on the heels of repeated assurances from the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) that the Saturday, October 20, governorship election in Ondo State is going to be a model for future elections.
ACN and PDP are the two leading opposition parties trying to wrest power from the ruling LP. And they have been at each other’s throats over the soul of the sunshine state.
TO HELL WITH PDP!!!, WHAT WERE THEIR ACHIEVEMENTS WHEN OLUSEGUN AGAGU A PDP GOVERNOR WAS IN POWER IN ONDO STATE. PDP CONTROL OF POWER IN YORUBA STATES HAS GONE FOREVER.
PLEASE, MY PEOPLE IN ONDO STATE, COLLECT THEIR MONEY AND VOTE ACCORDING TO YOUR CONSCIENCE.
@Dele. After collecting their money, a good conscience must be to justify the money collected. So, if they have “conscience” according to your post, they shouldn’t collect any money.
So Mimiko has performed? To hell with markets and his bustops. Mimiko is a failure and he will be put to shame come next saturday.
hmmmmmmmmmmm, pdp bunch of thieves
PLEASE ONDO PEOPLE VOTE FOR YOUR FUTURE AND NOT FOR MONEY.IF YOU VOTE FOR MONEY,THE GOVERNMENT WILL WANT TO GET BACK THE SPENT MONEY AND BY SO DOING,YOU HAVE SOLD YOUR ELECTORAL RIGHTS AND THAT WILL PUT ONDO STATE IN MUD
PDP = POVERTY DEVELOPMENT PARTY, The party is a dead wood,They are failing at Federal level talk less of state. Ondo people collect national cake- money from PDP but do not vote for them. They are bundle of failure.
When wil nigeria be good look at a PDP man contendent bringin out N5b for people to vote for him, God almight help us nigeria is bad.

How can you win with your so called aggressive campaign, useless PDP. Ondo should collect that 5 billion Naira if they eventually shared such amount. It was your money they stole before. They shared such unphilontropic gesture to the people of IMO state last yr to my people @ 5,000 Naira to each eligible voters they took it ,but still voted according to their conscience, stupid party. Even ACN Is also coming with their bags of Ghana must go under Tinumbu, you will collect it and still vote against the two parties, ie PDP and ACN period. Mimiko must still win them, Tinumbu vowed to equal Awo,s political track record, the one that killed 3 million Igbos 40 yrs ago.
greed and over ambition of ojukwu killed the igbos 40 years ago. same then and still now. as most of them be natty-commissioner for longer throat.
PDP,ACN,PLEASE ONDO STATE IS NOT FOR SELL.
PDP,ACN,PLEASE ONDO STATE IS NOT FOR SELL.LP IS A WINNING TEAM THE GOVERNOR IS DOING WELL.
I challenge Mimiko and his fast depleting supporters to point to just ONE, I mean, ONLY ONE new road that Mimiko constructed over the past 3 and half years of the locust. This is a man that received over N600bn (that is US$4.5bn) over this period. The bridge leading to the home-town of his deputy has collapsed and the villagers had to use palm-tree to construct a makeshift gada of a bridge. This is the face of deceipt and it is now open to the whole good people of Ondo State. We want rapid and solid infrastructural development. We want our industries to be reworked so that our youths may be employed. We have the Okitipupa Oil Palms, Ode-Irele Palms, Araromi Rubber, Oluwa Glass, Bitumen, etc. Mimiko did NOT touch nor encouraged any of these. Aketi (ACN) would make them work for real. Vote for ACN jooorr Vote for Aketi Jareee>>>>>
Am not perturbed hearing that pdp will share money bcos that has been their usual practice but in a place like imo were you have people who are enlightened we collected their money last year yes but we still do our mind. So i believe ondo people are also educated like imo because pdp is not a party to count on period
A state election voting billions wahhoooooo!how mush was voted for presidential election? Well, it shows how reckless our politicians are when a lots of graduates out there looks for employment but cannot get and some treacheous ones are lavinching the tax payers money to run just a state election.Is this the way to curb corruption?Dead men in Agbada.
Pdp d vipers, d oil blood moni, f G criminals, d chop u chop party, i js lov u all.
ACN must win d election.We want sectional control of power.S-West should b controlled by ACN.
i saw i my vision where Mimiko was declared winner. though i love ACN. My advice to ACN is to prepare well in the Tribunal. spiritual controls the physical. ACN is a good party but my vision always comes true

PDP govermenrt, is this d corruption u re fighting 4 in this country – #5b to bribe d electorate to vote 4 u. You re a disapporting party. This is where d EFCC & INEC shd come in. ACN & Labour parties shd also be questioned. My dear voters if d 3 parties gv u money, collect it & vote according to ur wish. All of dn re criminals in agbada.
Gov Mimiko has spoken well. I urge the performing governor not to worry about this empty boasting by the PDP. It happened in Imo state under ex gov Ikedi Ohakim where he and his PDP spent close to 4bn naira to buy votes for supplimentary election in 2011 but failed woefully because Imolites collected the money from him and his party but voted for APGA since Ohakim did not perform. My dear gov Mimiko,go home and sleep with your two eyes closed. You performance will speek and vote for you come 20th Oct. Do not be distracted by PDP and ACN for they are not your match. Ondo citizens are solidly behind you and would surely return you to govt house Akure to continue from where you stopped.
so president Jonathan can vote such amount of money for PDP to just acquire the seat of ondon state govt, wawwooooo, but making unnecessary and empty promise to Nigerains woooo to Jonathan ,he knows that come 2015 he is not going any where again the entire youth of Nigeria has taken note of that as he knew that his winning 2011 bid came frm the youth,. thanks
You see how these Demons called PDP are making Nigerian look stupid before the international community? I have said it many times in different Forums that Nigerian Leaders since PDP dorminant 1999 till date are not treated with any form of respect in International gatherings because the rest of the world leaders see them as thieves and Economic sabotoars, PDP will ruin Nigerian if nothing is been done to wipe them away from Nigerian politics.
PDP my foot! no way for PDP to win any states in Yorubaland, maybe that can happen in the east, but yorubaland forget it, even if they should increase the money to 50 billion, no way for PDP

Owerri do not understand that one man opinion does not represent a family let alone the entire nation, however, Awo descison during the way was clearly analised by Duro Onabule which shows his starvation method as being used before and after nigeria civil war. I still believe that prof Achebe wrote in animousity he had again the late sage but his aggression should not have been transfer to the entire nation of Oodua, instead Owerri should advise him of what he can do to redeem already weathered unity and respect among the lgbo perhap the revered prof is already going senile. So, owerri, keep to yourself and remain within the purview of discourse
MY PEOPLE pdp IS EVIL PARTY DON VOTE THEM
… logistic arrangements and other contingency needs, my ass! Hey, one good thing about all the dubious cash that PDP is intending on bringing to illegally bear on the election is that it’s gonna have a tremendously positive impact on the local and state economies of the Ondo people. That’s a good thing, indeed! Short of that, PDP ain’t going nowhere! Period.
Ah just dey lauff>>>>>>>>>>>>> Aketi ALL the way!!! ACN for landslide victory
5b. 4 a state election?, GOD save us, GEJ remember d flood victims, oil marketers 5b. 2 save their ass
PDP, stop deceiving yourself, you’re a loser. You cannot buy the intelligent people of Ondo state, we’re too sophisticated to fall for your deception. You’re a bunch of crooks, stealing the wealth of the nation. And God will not forgive u for not addressing the need
s of the people who voted you to power.
Come 2015, you will be shown the way out, in the presidential election, period.
Vote for individual not the party,believe PDP candidate is very sound & best irrespective of his party.i watched their debate in AIT that guy is the best.
Are u sure 5b is being voted out for the election?pdp candidate is sound & the best ,i truly watched their debate on AIT Believe me that guy wil perform if voted as governor.voting for him does nt mean voting for pdp
If Asiwaju Bola Tinubu could snatch Edo State, d political stronghold of big PDP stalwarts (like Anini etc) away frm dem to d ACN, then Ondo state will be a walk-over 4 him. I trust d Yorubas bcos they are highly enlightened politically. They know where they all belonged; ACN of course!!! So let other parties save their energy & resources. Period!
Where are we heading to, this country is falling apart and suffering everywhere there PDP is giving #5b just for taking over a state, not because of people interest but their selfish interest. Look at the suffering of flood victims, innocent killings and economy crumbling.
A good president does not fight for party, but for entire nation because the president cannot win by party alone. This really show the level ignorance in Nigerian leaders. I feel sorry for our country. God we need you.
People of Ondo be steadfast and vote for the your future generation yet unborn.
People of Ondo be steadfast and vote for the

i don’t care how much pidingbi votes for Ondo they have the money and Iroko have the people
True Politicians should understand the importance of words they speak and keep to it. Away with these breed of ‘old’ politicians. Labour promised a single term on several occasions. Is it by force to be pepertual in power? ACN is the most logical way to go. Taking Ondo on the path to building a formidable opposition to PDP in 2015. PDP and Labour have had their chances. Time for us to see what ACN can do! Shikena.
