Though without the participation of the major opposition party, All Progressive Congress (APC), the much publicised election into local government administration holds in Ondo State today.

During the exercise, electorates are expected to elect chairmen in the 18 local government areas and 203 wards.

The election is the first to be held since the incumbent Governor Olusegun Mimiko took over power in February 2009.

Mimiko had on assumption of office dissolved the elected council administration and replaced them with Caretaker committee that the state government review every six months.

In order to ensure participation of residents of the state the government had directed that workers should close at 12.00pm so that whoever wanted to travel for the election could do so.

At the headquarters of the Ondo State Independent National Electoral Commission (ODIEC), located on Oba-Ile Road in Akure, the office was a beehive of activities.

When THISDAY got to the office, staff of the commission were seen moving election materials to various local governments.

Equally, ad-hoc staff were seen collecting materials like identification tags, vests and caps made for the election.

The government had already announced restriction of movements from 7:00am to 4:00pm.

ODIEC said 17 political parties would be participating in the election, which the APC described as diversionary and unnecessary.

The APC had directed its sypathisers to stay at home remain calm saying the election could never be free alleging that the ODIEC officials were card carrying members of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

Anything thing that will keep away the 'evil masters of deception',known as APC is accepted.....God bless Mimiko,God bless Fayose.

If All Progressive Confusion, will bring in their normal confusion in the Ondo LG elections; it's better they stay clear.

Since these desperados started taking part in elections in this country, the days of confusion, chaos and thuggery came back. Remember how they rendered elections inconclusive in Kogi, Bayelsa and Rivers. The Abia North rerun that was mainly between PDP and PPA; was it declared inconclusive?

Wherever these desperados enter, one thing is sure--confusion.


One boi will come now to insult his dad for telling him the truth and by so doing bring more confusion to his confused soul.

While waste energy and resources on an election conducted by PDP?

APC are too smart for that.

Ok

Anything that will stop the evil and lying Party(APC) is a welcome development.


Let the election go on.

This is oppression and undemocratic. Mimiko you are using state powers now, hope you will not complain if APC use federal might in the governorship election.

Mimiko and Fayose -The slayer of the jagaban of bourdillion

mimiko only engage on buildin market, since 2009

What u all dont understand is that the people of ondo state are not happy with Gov mimiko since he dump Labour Party for PDP.... I wont be surprise if labour Party wins majority' of the seat

The evil party apc. Should stay away.

PDP did the same in Rivers State and APC is trying to return the favour in Ondo State; let see if it will work.

"The election is the first to be held since the incumbent Governor
Olusegun Mimiko took over power in February 2009."

Someone that does not deem' it fit to conduct local goverment election since 2009 and now that the governorship election is coming up by October or so. Sure he's just waking up from his sleep now that his days are numbered in that office.
APC is too smart to be part of this kangaroo election. This election
has been perfected by Mimiko to put his boys that will do the dirty job in October into power.

The implication is that this polls would be without bloodshed and it would be conclusive
