The political differences inherent in the Ondo
State Peoples Democratic Party may ruin the
winning chances of President Goodluck Jonathan
in the state in next year’s general elections,
aggrieved politicians in the state have warned.
According to them, Jonathan should forget about
winning in Ondo if the State Governor, Olusegun
Mimiko, fails to abide by court orders restraining
him from carrying out activities that were
counter-productive to the PDP.
The Chairman, Ondo PDP Candidates Forum and
a contestant for the House of Representatives,
Mr. Femi Adekanmbi, told journalists on Tuesday
in Abuja that members of the group were
aggrieved with the manner in which Mimiko was
going about the state’s political affairs in
preparation for next year’s general elections.
He noted that although the group was not
against Mimiko, the PDP would not garner the
targeted one million votes for Jonathan if the
state governor fails to work with the aggrieved
candidates.
Adekanmbi said, “Dr. Mimiko can never solely
win Ondo State for Mr. President. The President
needs Chief Jimoh Ibrahim and other contestants
for him to win. If he relies on Mimiko the PDP
will lose in Ondo because right now salaries have
not been paid for the past three months in our
state.
“People are not happy with him (Mimiko) and he
cannot even walk freely on the streets of Ondo
State. So is he the one to canvass for votes for
the President? We don’t think so. He is still our
leader but has to work with candidates to
succeed. We say this because he has failed to do
the right thing, which is to bring everybody
together.”
Adekanmbi said the party’s primaries had been
concluded and candidates for elective positions
elected, but wondered why the governor would
present another set of candidates who were
allegedly not elected by party delegates.
He said, “We are not fighting the person of
Governor Mimiko who is the leader of the party
in the state. What we are fighting is the system
of how we do things in the PDP, particularly in
Ondo, because our party is different from Labour
Party.
“As of today we have a court judgment delivered
by Justice Ademola and we have a court order
which came in last Thursday. But unfortunately,
for the past one week Mr. Mimiko has practically
made the INEC office his government house, all
in a bid to induce the commission and to make it
publish the names of his candidates thereby
flouting completely and disobeying court orders.”
He added that it was embarrassing for a
governor not to respect court orders, but
expressed the belief that INEC would do justice
when it comes to publishing the names of
eligible contestants in Ondo State. www.punchng.com/news/jonathan-may-lose-in-ondo-pdp-candidates/
