Ondo Polls: ‘My Own Godfather Is Not That Of Anthony Anenih In Edo state’ – Bola Tinubu

Leader of the Action Congress of Nigeria ACN Asiwaju Bola Tinubu yesterday launched a final attack on Governor Segun Mimiko describing him as an ingrate and a serial betrayer even as he disclaimed any aspiration towards fitting into Chief Obafemi Awolowo’s shoes.

At a rally in Akure to round off the party’s rallies ahead of this weekend’s gubernatorial election, Tinubu declared ‘I am not fighting for the shoes of Awolowo it is too big for me. I am not fighting for Awolowo cap. He has taken both away.’

Tinubu also took time to castigate the incumbent governor Olusegun Mimiko describing him as an ingrate whom he helped but later dumped him.

Quoting from the Holy Bible what will happen to those who are ingrates, Tinubu insisted that he bankrolled the expenses incurred by Mimiko at the election petition tribunal.

He said that Mimiko betrayed his two predecessors in office, Adebayo Adefarati, Olusegun Agagu and former President Olusegun Obasanjo.

Tinubu however said that he was not surprised that Mimiko is denying that he collected money from him when he was in the trenches.

He asked the people of the state to drive Mimiko out of Ondo state through their votes this weekend.

On godfatherism, he pointed out that ‘I am happy he calls me godfather. My own godfather is not that of Anthony Anenih in Edo state. Mine is for the development and progress of South West states.

‘My own godfatherism is mentoring reliable and dependable people in the South West states for progress and development.’

He reiterated the need for Ondo State to join other states in the region to make integration of the region a success.

  1. Ondo people are too enlightened to be pocketed by 1 man for 8years! Those who have tried such in d past have always met their WATER_LOO. Ondo state can not and must not be left behind in d wave of PHYSICAL DEVELOPMENTS currently blowing across the South West region including Edo State. Use what you have to get what u need!USE UR VOTE WISELY AND HELP BRING BACK THE LOST GLORY IN OUR DEAR ONDO STATE. This is beyond partisan politics!

  2. We’ll disgrace you, Mimiko tells Tinubu
    IN a sharp response Governor Mimiko described the ACN national leader, Asiwaju Tinubu of being unworthy of the title of national leader of a national party accusing him of behaving like a common street boy in his manners and utterances.

    Speaking through his campaign spokesman, Kolawole Olabisi, deplored the use of what he called raw and dirty language that he claimed would even be detested by area boys.

    Noting that the ACN leader lacked the moral credibility to address Mimiko, he said:

    “Pray, isn’t it absurd that Tinubu could be asking the people to vote for his party when all over the South West where he controls, governance is at it lowest ebb. It has been strikes galore as workers and government are at loggerhead over unpaid salaries and emoluments.”

    “Students of higher institutions are groaning while they pay through their noses. Yet, they say they want to capture Ondo State which is better governed than any of these states and has become a benchmark in the art of good governance in Nigeria.

    “When so-called leaders dance naked on national television and unleash verbal abuses on a sitting Governor of a state who has chosen nothing but high sense of respect for him as well as assault the sensibility of the people of Ondo State, then such leaders should be prepared to be disgraced.”

    “How can a leader also ask the people of Ondo State to re-enact the terrible episode of the 1983 election violence if his party should lose the election? We urge the security operatives to be abreast of all the vituperation and pure incitement of the people by Tinubu and other leaders of the ACN at today’s so-called redemption rally of theirs and take note of unfolding events as the election approaches,” the Mimiko campaign advised.
