Mimiko Received N2 Billion To Rig Elections, Former Commissioner Alleges

Mr. Ojo claimed that the governor, who was elected on the ticket of the Labor Party but defected to the PDP late last year, had perfected plans for rigging the elections in Ondo, Oyo, Osun, Ekiti, Lagos, and parts of Edo States.

Segun Ojo, a former Commissioner for Finance in Ondo State, has alleged that Governor Olusegun Rahman Mimiko has received N2 billion from President Goodluck Jonathan in order to rig the presidential election in the southwest for the incumbent president who is the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party.

Mr. Ojo claimed that the governor, who was elected on the ticket of the Labor Party but defected to the PDP late last year, had perfected plans for rigging the elections in Ondo, Oyo, Osun, Ekiti, Lagos, and parts of Edo States.

Mr. Ojo made the disclosure while speaking to a correspondent of SaharaReporters in Akure, the Ondo State capital. He asserted that the Presidency had given Mr. Mimiko two billion naira to execute the rigging process.

According to the former commissioner, Governor Mimiko had disbursed seven million naira to each of the PDP wards in Ondo State. He accused the governor of recruiting “political thugs” to strategize on ensuring that President Jonathan wins Ondo State at all cost.

“Governor Mimiko can’t lie to me that he didn’t received two billion naira. The money is now been dispatched ward to ward for the purpose of rigging this presidential election,” said Mr. Ojo. He added, “We all can see that the governor has been moving with his agents from one local government to another in the name of gathering support for President Goodluck Jonathan, doling out funds for people to vote the PDP candidate.

“I bet, President Goodluck Jonathan and his PDP candidates can’t win elections in Ondo State because the people have seen that they were only been cajoled and deceived by the PDP. They know PDP is a failure in Ondo State, and Mimiko came to the party for further destruction.”

Mr. Ojo, who served as a finance commissioner under the late Governor Adebayo Adefarati, criticized Mr. Mimiko for betraying many of his associates who have now left him for the All Progressives Congress (APC). He said many of the governor’s former allies even regretted working with him during his days in the Labor Party.

“Go and ask people who knew the journey of how Raman Mimiko became the governor of Ondo State. They will tell you that he is never a man someone can trust with his own life. We know what we lost for bringing Mimiko into government. He later became the governor, after many people sold their house, properties and some even lost their life for his ambition. He started witch hunting the people that helped him into power.

“He forgot the fingers that fed him while the road was still very rough. Already, he has failed and if there is anything you can compare him with, it is ‘evil’ because he deserves nothing more from the people of the state than to send him and his Jonathan parking,” Mr. Ojo said.

Mr. Ojo, who is now an APC member, claimed that 18 political parties in the state were ready to support the candidature of Mr. Buhari and his vice presidential candidate, Yemi Osibanjo.

“Buhari must come as president, Mimiko must go as governor. We are ready to show Mimiko out of Ondo State, and if Jonathan is sent parking, our betrayer Governor Mimiko knows he is leaving as well. He has been following the President up and down like a loose dog, lavishing the resources of the state on trips and private costs while civil servants and people of the state are languishing in poverty.

He boasted that Mr. Buhari would garner more votes in Ondo State than incumbent President Jonathan. He said his political organization called Ondo State Rainbow Coalition was working alongside APC party leaders to sensitize residents of the state on the need to send the PDP government packing.

“I can assure you that we would use the current crisis rocking the PDP in Ondo State to gain more support for General Muhammadu Buhari,” said Mr. Ojo. On the recent endorsement of Mr. Jonathan by some southwest leaders, Mr. Ojo said, “Nigeria of today is now different from the one of yesterday. Those elders were bought with dollars and they sold their conscience, especially those parading themselves as Afenifere. It’s a big shame.”

Gentlemen, are we still looking for our 20bn dollars??

From CAN to Traditional rullers, to THUGS, to Fake protesters.......even to Nairaland'ss resident FFK ...Mr protection.

What shall it profit a man, to become an ATM machine and still loose elections woefully.?

Lalasticlala do the needful

He's Cut from GEJ

that is why there Is fuel scarcity, awon ole.

Lies from d pit of hell !

I am confident that with this new PVC system initiated by prof Jega, rigging will be a thing of the past unless in areas where the card readers fail. Nigeria's democracy is indeed growing and devoid of reckless killings as we had in Obj's regime.

Na wa o! Nigeria is on the brink indeed.

The allegation is weighty, so Mimiko needs to not only clear the air but should prove that the allegation is false.

The whole country already knows that jonathan is a desperado and we know how desperados behave. They don't mind destroying whatever they cannot get. For them, it's either by hook or crook.

Jo'na Tan, please don't break Nigeria because of your ambition. Otukoe needs you more than you need Nigeria.

New day new propaganda

Another propaganda coming (APC) HEY FEE CEE

HMMM.. MIMIKO....

They may bribe all they want, as for me and my house, it is Buhari all the way.

Jonathan is bent on ruining this country. Corruption is so endemic and no regard for the rule of law. This gorvemment practice corruption with impunity. Am really scared for the future of this country.

I wouldn't dispute this I know what the id..iot is capable of doing

I took the man serious when I thought he was commissioner of finance under Mimiko. But buried in an inconspicuous corner was the fact that he was commissioner of finance under Ade Ade. So what do we make of the story? Beefing your colleague commissioner who made it to governor. Mimiko was commissioner of health under Adebayo Adefarati.
