Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) National Leader, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu at the weekend spoke with reporters on national issues in London. He was on his way to the Democratic Party’s Convention in the United States. Excerpts:
On Ondo election
Mimiko is a traitor. We are going to defeat him without rigging. He has betrayed others in the past. He got into the late Chief Adebayo Adefarati’s executive council in 1999, betrayed him and moved to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). He later betrayed Olusegun Agagu and came back.
He promised that within 30 days of his declaration when we were fighting the case in the court, he would join Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) and after being sworn in, he started dilly-dallying. That is his trait. He’s not principled; a person with character would not do that definitely.
As confrontational as this might sound,does godfathers not know that politics in Nigeria is opening the people's eye day-by-day.If Mimiko could be called all sort of names by Jagaban,it will only draw a sympathy vote to Iroko's side.The best way could have been to re-strategize politically and capitalize on the gains of ACN in other South-Western states,there and then,wait for the electorate to decide if they truly need a change in governance or not.The character assassination of the ACN will never discourage the Ondo people from continuing to give credence to the administration of Dr.Olusegun Mimiko
