You guys should stop fanning the embers of tribalism. You are not from Ondo state and know nothing about the state politics but have made yourselves experts over it. Are you saying the people of Ondo state didn't know his wife was Igbo when he was massively voted for in 2016 against the candidate of the incumbent governor?

I have nothing against him personally. Jegede who's his main rival is also not married to a Yoruba but an Akwa Ibom woman but nobody cares about that. The major grouse people have with Aketi is he made the health and educational sector of the state worse than where Mimiko left it. Ask visitors of mother and child and AAUA students, staff and their parents.

For those who know Ondo politics very well, this move, if confirmed, has made Akeredolu's 2nd term SO EASY!

Now, this is it:

1. Mimiko and Akeredolu have been close friends from their time together at OAU (known as University of Ife at that time). They were both elected into the Students Union Government (SUG) at Ife. That friendship hasn't waned.

2. Akeredolu was one of the very active lawyers who fought for the recovery of Mimiko's Labour Party governorship mandate from Agagu of PDP up to the final court, in a long legal tussle sponsored and financed by Tinubu! So, it is payback time for a huge favour.

3. Since Akeredolu defeated Mimiko's anointed successor, Eyitayo Jegede, and got elected, he has NEVER publicly criticized Mimiko or Mimiko's government. It is rare for a Governor from a different political party not to criticise his predecessor who ruled under a different party! It happened because they are friends and Akeredolu actually told his cabinet members not to insult Mimiko at all. He also publicly stated that he won't probe Mimiko's government!

4. Ajayi, the current Deputy Governor, is from Ondo South, where he is strong politically. However, to neutralise him, Akeredolu has picked a younger version of Ajayi, Lucky, from the same area as Ajayi! So, even if Ajayi is expected to do well in the election Zenith Labour Party candidate in his own senatorial district, he will likely share votes with Lucky! Akeredolu will clear his Ondo North Senatorial District, considering 'son of the soil' mentality, like he did in 2016. Akure, in Ondo Central, where Jegede is from, will be shared among the three, due to its cosmopolitan nature and because being the state capital, no ethnic group is dominant.

5. Underground, if Ajayi eventually joins Zenith Labour Party, Mimiko might use him as a pawn to work secretly for his own personal friend, Akeredolu!

Largely, PDP's error was picking Jegede, a featherweight who got the votes he got in 2016 due to Mimiko's incumbency factor, instead of Ajayi, who is a grassroots politician who had previously been elected into the House of Representatives. It was a great mistake PDP made!

Now, with Ajayi reportedly "porting" to a weak ZLP, it's ROAD IS NOW CLEAR FOR AKEREDOLU!!!

Mark my words!

Desperate politicians! If u like join zzz u will not win.

It's Naija politics o. No deputy ever fared better after leaving the principal. Chief Akin Omoboriowo seemed a classical departure though he lost out in the end to Chief Micheal Adekinle Ajasin.

Kingberbatov:


Agboola is not powerful anywhere, only the apois(igbekebo, igbotu, igbobini &upoke) will vote for him and all of them are so few,
pdp always had the upper hand when it comes to ondo south

klas:


Good analysis but remember that Jimoh Ibrahim frustrated Jegede's candidacy in 2016 until about 2 or 3 days to the election. He couldn't even campaign.

Gambo004:
Any thing is possible, Mimiko singlehandedly floored Pdp and Apc while he was in Labour Party years ago, he took his supporters to pdp, so now Agboola will have the combination of APC, PDP and ZLP supporters # stand to be enlightened
