In this picture, we have Gov.Rochas Okorocha (Chairman of APC Governors and Governor of IMO State), Gov.Olusegun Mimiko (Governor of Ondo State and Chairman of PDP governors) and Mr.Rotimi Akeredolu SAN (APC Governorship Candidate in Ondo State).
Recall that after a violent protest recently in Ondo State following the replacement of PDP's Eyitayo Jegede by INEC for PDP's Jimoh Ibrahim, Gov.Mimiko rushed to meet President Buhari. Many political watchers predicted that the visit was part of moves by the governor to defect to the APC.
While Jegede is Gov.Mimiko's preferred candidate and of the Makarfi faction, Jimoh is of the Sheriff faction.
Ahead of the November 26 governorship election, Jimoh Ibrahim has vowed to probe the administration of Gov.Mimiko if he wins.
Meanwhile, Gov.Mimiko and his preferred candidate is still hoping to get a favourable judgement from the court of Appeal.
With this cheerful fellowship, one can but expect anything.
But here is one of my predictions for Ondo State:
If Jegede losses his Appeal or if the case isn't concluded before the poll, Gov.Mimiko will order all his supporters to vote for Mr.Rotimi Akeredolu of the APC instead of the rival factional candidate of his party.
This is part of the deal to cover up many of his messes.
Ondo will be interesting
Let's watch keenly.
