Does anyone have the voter registration figures for the 18 local governments of Ondo state. It's only the old census figures that I could get. If we have the figures, it will help in our analysis.

Ondo North
1. Akoko North-East
2. Akoko North-West
3. Akoko South-East
4. Akoko South-West
5. Owo
6. Ose

Ondo Central
1. Akure South
2. Akure North
3. Ondo East
4. Ondo West
5. Ifedore
6. Idanre

Ondo South
1. IleOluji/Oke Igbo
2. Odigbo
3. Irele
4. Ilaje
5. Okitipupa
6. Ese odo

I don't have the latest voters' registration figures but based on past elections, suffice it to say that ondo central has the largest number of voters, followed by ondo south and then the north comes third. In the entire state, akure south (located in ondo central) has the largest pool of voters in the state. If Aketi fails to pacify both Abraham and Boroffice, the APC will be out of contention because if APC can't have a clear and solid win in the northern zone, they should forget it. If Oke manages to win all the local governments in the south and does o.k in ondo central, he may just nick it. If he doesn't then Jegede will certainly get it. Whoever wins the highest number of local governments will win the election. At least on paper, for now the odds are in favour of Jegede and Oke as they can at least claim they will receive bloc votes from their senatorial zones. APC's poor performance at the federal level, coupled with the current crisis rocking the party is a devastating blow to the party's chances. It's not looking good at all for Aketi at this point. IMO.

Akeredolu is a man of integrity....humble and a grass root politician who believe in the well being of all ondo sons and daughters. He is a man of the people. Oke of AD as shown himself to be a desperate politician and Eyitayo of PDP mimikos boy(Eyitayo's Godfather) .

I am good with Olusola Oke for governor but my concern is do the AD have structures on ground to ensure his victory?

Moreover Mimiko of PDP is a good strategist and a grassroots politician whilst APC has federal power to rig like it was alleged in Edo.

The coming gubernatorial election is dicey cos the candidates will do well in their strongholds but I hope Oke/AD will ensure solid alignments/realignment in other senatorial districts for victory.

But why are the PDP concerned over Ondo APC? people that are not in Ondo state even write here as if they sleep and wake in Ondo state. If you are in Ondo state you won't ask me to vote for mimiko and his boys again. Mimiko collects state allocation, collects Local government allocation and also collects crude oil allocation, Ondo state account for about #30b, a month, our yearly allocation is about #140b and you are comparing Ondo state with other states, Please don't just compare Ondo state with other states. Mimiko has enslaved Ondo state people. Any students in Ondo state that will vote for mimiko and his boys come next month is an educated illiterate.
Liar Mohammed self nor reach you for lie, even Akwa Ibom for the past 1yr never get 20b for allocation let alone Ondo. ala ri wo

Going by threads on nairaland , I was convinced that APC stood no chance ib Edo State.


I have been using analysis online as bases for forming opinion on how election result is likely to be in state's in which I don't reside, but after the Edo's election results were released, I stopped reckonning with online anwlyses. I am now more interested in how rig-free the election will be.

Do you think we are still the era where they will be bringing manipulated results from the Riverine area of the state? Most of those heavy results from that side are rigged votes. There won't be any room for that.

You can only rig when you have the tactical support of the Federal. The FG this time around is also an interested party in the election and will not allow any rigged votes from the Riverine area.

Their concerns right now is their salaries which are unpaid... And as I see things on ground even if(mimiko) pay all the outstanding salaries and even paid upfront.. He still won't get the vote.. That's why the man doesn't even wanna pay... About the fact is u people forget the party actually in federal government power..

You not only lack coherence in your thoughts, it is also obvious in your communication. What is the connection of what you wrote up there to what I said? If you are familiar with Ondo state it wont be too hard for you to know that majority of the rigging that takes place during election happen at Ondo south. That was what I was alluding to.

That being said, who is comparing Owo/Akure votes with that of Ondo south? I can see you just want to be seen talking eventhough it doesn't sound so reasonable. Ondo state has 3 senatorial district made up of 6 local governments each. The Akokos, Owo and Ose makes up the North. Nobody ever said they are the same. That they are different does not mean they cannot politically vote same party.

Ondo is not all about AD, the structureless party that was kept afloat by renegade elements.

Most people think Olusola Oke can pull a Mimiko LP winning stunt forgetting that Mimiko was a better grassroot politician, and well loved across the state back then. Times have changed. Olusola Oke was able to record big win in Ondo-South in the last election because he ran under the umbrella party, Ondo-South zone has been a pro-PDP and has always been sympathetic to the party since it was formed. I doubt that feat can be repeated now that he's running under a party with no structure (AD). He can only win that zone by a very narrow margin over other parties.

Despite the controversy/fall-out of the primary election, Ondo-North still belongs the APC.

Coming to Ondo-Central, PDP ll record a narrow win primarily because of AKURE agenda.

In conclusion, the election is going to be a very tight race between APC, PDP and AD
keep on dreaming.Akoko people will support Oke. Aketi is on his own. Majority of APC members are against him.

Apc lost this election the moment Akerodolu was declared winner at the primary, the same SAN Mimiko schooled during a debate, I had to ask who was the lawyer and who was the doctor. He simply lacked charisma, talked as though he doesn't know what he was saying.

And the process of his ascension raised eyebrow too, the flawed process coupled with lack of internal democracy in APC at the federal level is also a minus.

At the federal level APC are yet to hit the ground running, and they don't enjoy the benefit of incumbency (like what played out in Edo where they had something to show as a way of campaigning).

Segun Abraham would have been a far better option in my opinion, or any winner provided the election was free and the delegates a rough sample of the people not manipulated, Olusola Oke leaving APC on the backdrop of a free and fair election would have correctly get the label of political-prostitute but the election was not free as observed and confirmed in some quarters hence he's simply contesting as a form of "messiah" for standing against what is wrong...

The battle in my opinion is between PDP and AD... (APC has lost it).

Diademk07:

Labour party did not have structure but some other issues was to their advantage.

1. Comparing the situation then and now, Miimiko was relatively more popular in the state than Olusola Oke, having held this positions consecutively:-

-Commissioner under Adefarati
-SSG to Agagu
-Federal Minister under Obasanjo

Infact, his name was already an household name then, even to the extent that Obasanjo heard about him and selected him to be a minister without any recommendation from Agagu, the governor.

2. He had more financial muscle and contacts to leverage on than present day Oke especially based on the above positions he held consecutively (except if someone like Tinubu gives Oke a brickwall support).

Because of his robust financials and networks, he had the money to deploy for massive publicity for the also relatively unknown labour party.

3. People were very much tired of the Agagu led-government and were eager for a change.

It was only Mimiko that offered the opportunity for that change then. The situation is also similar now, people are eager for a change except that there are more options on the table with financial resources, contacts and state-wide structure for Oke to contend with.

Oke is not the only option for now as obtainable for Mimiko when he faced Agagu.

4. Mimiko was a better grassroot politician than Olusola Oke.
