The Akeredolu Campaign Organisation (ACO) has described the statement by Governor Olusegun Mimiko at the Governorship debate in Akure that June 12 and the Late M.K.O Abiola who is the symbol of the democratic struggle in which Mimiko is a major beneficiary, is irrelevant in the south west integration not only as unfortunate but a clear demonstration that he is insensitive to the aspiration of the Yoruba nation. Even at the height of the Otunba Gbenga Daniel’s administration in Ogun state inspite of being in the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) he still declared June 12 as a public holiday.

For us at ACO, this further confirms that Mimiko is not interested in working with other governors in the south west who have become the icons of sustainable development in Africa. Apart from this, all the members of Labour Party (LP) in the National Assembly have always opposed all the progressive moves by the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) legislators against the Yoruba agenda. As a matter of fact during the fuel subsidy struggle when the whole of the South west in unison opposed it, the Labour Party legislators and Mimiko government supported the anti-people policy. He, Mimiko has always been against the Yoruba people as his antecedent shows that he was the governorship Candidate of the United National Congress Party(UNCP) which was one of the five parties that Late Bola Ige described as the five fingers of a leprous hand; During the democratic struggle where was Mimiko when Pa Alfred Rewane was killed, when Pa Abraham Adesanya was shot at and Asiwaju Bola Tinubu and other notable sons of Yoruba land were chased into exile by the demonic Abacha regime.

Will the Ondo State people follow a man who could not acknowledge the supreme sacrifice of a distinguished son of Yoruba land? Will the Ondo State people follow a man who is more committed to the reactionary forces in Nigeria at the expense of the progressive? Indeed, the Ondo State people have decided to join their kilt and kin in the South west and would definitely vote for ACN on October 20.

ACN are pure HYPOCRITES, wiping up sentiments when they have none. They resisted the honour gven to M.K.O Abiola by GEJ and now is trying to idolize him for cheap political points.
