APC Reveals Mimiko Plans To Disrupt Polls

Governor Olusegun Mimiko

Security agencies have been alerted to the moves being made Gov. Olusegun Mimiko of Ondo State to disrupt Saturday’s Governorship/House of Assembly elections in the entire South-West by instigating widespread violence.
In a statement issued in Lagos on Thursday by the  National Publicity Secretary of the All Progressive Party, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, the party alleged that the governor has already met with the thugs, who have been trained specifically for the purpose of disrupting the elections, at Oshodi-Isolo in akure and Iro in Akure South Local Government Area.

The party also said Mimiko gave the group of thugs at each location 350 million Naira for their devilish assignments.

”The strategy is to deploy these thugs to various parts of the South-West with the express instruction to violently disrupt elections through sporadic shootings and stealing of ballot boxes. This is the Governor’s answer to the massive shellacking he received from the electorate in the region in general and in Ondo state in particular during the March 28th presidential elections.

”The fear of the thugs have already sent many APC leaders, who have been targeted for attack, scampering for safety. While some have gone underground, others have relocated either from Ondo State or from the region entirely. There is also the report circulating in Ondo State in particular that the Governor has deployed thugs to every polling unit to cut off the hands of anyone who is suspected to have voted for the APC during the elections.
