Ondo Decides 2020: Mimiko Using Agboola To Revive His Dead Political Career - Akeredolu

The executive governor of Ondo State Rotimi Akeredolu has alleged that Olusegun Mimiko, his predecessor is trying to use his estranged deputy Governor Ajayi Agboola to revive his 'dead' political career.

Making this claim during an interview session on Arise TV, Akeredolu said both Mimiko and Agboola have traits of a betrayer.

He also boasted that the alignment between Mimiko and his deputy will not affect his chances of winning the Governorship election in October. 

Akeredolu the governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) will be contesting to be re-elected as the state Governor of Ondo state against  Agboola who is the candidate of Zenith Labour Party (ZLP) for the October election.

“Does it affect me, does it make me nervous? The answer is no. I am confident of my victory. Who are these people? They were never my allies.

“I ran against him (Mimiko) in 2012. I ran against Jegede in 2016 with Mimiko supporting him. I have treated him fairly. Mimiko has his own trait, if Agboola with all he did finds solace in Mimiko, it is because they have the same trait, they are people prone to betrayer.

“Mimiko is not a political force anywhere, he left governor’s office, and tried the senate, he did not win. He did not even win his local government, he is a spent force.

“He is dead politically, he is probably looking for someone to resurrect him, and maybe Agboola has some money to spend on him. I know Agbola has some money to waste. Mimiko is a nobody anymore. You guys are the ones keeping them alive,” Akeredolu said.
