The Ondo State Chapter of the All Progressives Congress, (APC) has said that the people of the state would expresss their anger on President Goodluck Jonathan in the Saturday presidential election by voting against his re-election.
The party said Governor Olusegun Mimiko’s claim that the people of the state preferred Jonathan to its candidate, Gen. Muhammadu Buhari, was a self-deceit.
It challenged Mimiko to point to a single federal project or intervention executed by the Jonathan government in Ondo state to show the president’s commitment to the people of the state.
A statement by Vice Chairman, APC Publicity Committee, Kunle Adebayo said instead of good life, the citizenry had suffered failed promises, poverty and gloom like other Nigerians under the PDP government.
Adebayo noted that the failure of the PDP government to touch their lives accounted for the reason people had turned to the APC and Buhari to seek redemption.
He said; “Mimiko, in trying to mobilise traditional rulers, teachers, workers and youths, boasted to them that Jonathan’s new tenure will bear an indelible imprint on the lives of the Yoruba people and that his monumental achievements in his first four years are confounding and comforting to the people of Ondo state.
“The Point must be made again that Mimiko’s claims are not only an insult to the memory and intelligence of the people of the state, they are the antics of drowning men which all political opportunists are.
“How can Mimiko hope anybody in Ondo state, particularly the insulted workers, frustrated youths, betrayed women and dehumanized traditional rulers, was listening to his tales by the moonlight?
“In case he does not know, the people of Ondo state identify Jonathan as the President who treated them like a piece of trash in spite of the massive votes given to him in 2011 when he came whimpering as the then all begging, shoeless riverine boy.
“From inheriting a cash surplus of over ₦58.4b and zero debt profile, it is no news that he has plunged Ondo state to an unprecedented level of indebtedness, retrogression, poverty and stagnation. As is customary with a bat pretending to be a bird, Mimiko’s empty boasts and politics of opportunism have by default exposed the futility of the PDP’s crave for permanent enslavement of Nigerians.
“Just as Ondo PDP under him has become a symbol of crisis, confusion, betrayal and corruption, every parent who means well for the future of her offsprings has also decided to vote General Muhammadu Buhari who represent hope and rebirth.”
