Tinubu: Mimiko Is An Ingrate, Disrespectful – Akeredolu

By CHARLES KUMOLU

AKURE-THE Rotimi Akeredolu Campaign Organisation in Ondo State has berated Governor Olusegun Mimiko for describing National Leader of Action Congress of Nigeria, ACN, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, as an emperor, describing the statement as a sign of ingratitude.


A statement by its Director of Media and Publicity, Mr. Idowu Ajanaku, called on the Labour Party, LP, to quit mudslinging and focus on issue-based campaign.

He said: ''The equally baffling subsequent tactless tirade made by Governor Mimiko, now referring to the much-respected Nigerian democrat and political strategist, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, as an emperor smirks of gross disrespect and crass ingratitude.

”One only hopes that the transient aroma of political power has not deluded the governor's mind-set into forgetting, so soon, all the moral support he enjoyed from the latter in his most trying times.''

He also frowned at another statement credited to the Deputy Governor, Alhaji Ali Olanusi, who allegedly said ACN was campaigning to impose imported administration on Ondo people, noting that such statement was capable of stirring bad blood in the polity.

''To have said that Ondo people do not want an imported administration in the state, ahead of the October 20,2012 gubernatorial poll, apparently alludes to the increasing impact of ACN in the state. It is unsavoury and unbecoming of a man occupying that exalted political post.''

''As recently exhibited by the ACN-led administration in Edo State, performance is the watchword for any politician to gain the peoples’ confidence and votes. Not undue media hype over the construction of market stalls and ill-equipped hospitals and schools while infrastructural development that touches tellingly on the quality of life of the average Nigerian is criminally neglected.''

dedeike: Battle of the opposition. it promises to very interesting. Iroko v Baba Agbero with Akeredolu as bus conductor.
Again, what is Tinubu's own in Ondo? What is his interest in Ondo state governorship?
I support Mimiko to win. Tinubu should not be allowed to annex the entire south West and pride himself as leader of south west.

Detongue: Tinubu, just listen to urself

Maxymilliano: Mimiko is not faring badly as claimed by ACN stalwarts and their sympathizers. Apart from Lagos & Edo, no other ACN controlled state come close to what the guy is doing.

Rhino.5dm:
Mimiko is trying and I think he deserves another term in office. I was really marvelled at the way he is turning akure into another mini lagos by investing on things that could bring transformaion to the state.

I should have taken pictures last two weeks for nairalanders. Iroko Joooorrrrrr. . .Gba si be!!!!!!

dayokanu:

The same way you should have asked what was Retardeen Jonathan's interest in Edo that made him come like the m0r0n he is to Benin to canvass votes for the PDP

Delafruita:
is the development commesurate to the allocation?ondo is the only oil producing state in the southwest and it gets 13% derivative along with the other niger delta states which makes its alocation more than that of osun,ekiti,ogun and oyo joined together

duality:

this underscores how shallow you reason sometimes. stick to the topic.

dayokanu: What concerns Tinubu with this? Did Tinubu respond to Mimiko?

And these achievements would be better shown to ppl especially since pictures don't lie

Eko Ile: It's really irritating when people defend public officials by saying they are doing a great job, they are building this and that, but they still can not find up with one single fact, picture or any documented proof to back up their claims.

We are not mumu so please don't feed us with what you can not prove with anything.
