Former Governor of Ondo State, Olusegun Mimiko, in a magisterial declaration, said the people of the state would reject Governor Rotimi Akeredolu and candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) at the governorship poll on October 10.
According to Mimiko, the eelectoratehad become fed up with the lack of performance of Akeredolu since his assumption of office in the last three and a half years.
Mimiko, who is the National Leader of the Zenith Labour Party, ZLP, stated at Ile-Oluji in Ile-Oluji/Okeigbo Local Government Area of the state during the campaign tour of the party’s candidate, Alfred Agboola Ajayi, that Akeredolu’s tenancy at the Alagbaka Government House was over.
Mimiko stated that one of the greatest undoings of Akeredolu was the cancellation of free healthcare services and the increase in tuition fees paid by tertiary institutions in the state.
He described those policy choices as anti-people.
He added that Akeredolu’s claim to performance was nothing but falsehood.
Governor Akeredolu, in a riposte, claimed that he has surpassed Mimiko’s achievements in both the health and education sectors, with a significant stride in people’s welfare.
The spokesperson of Aketi/Ayedatiwa Campaign Council, Olabode Richard said that “The Akeredolu administration realized that Mimiko only had two mother and child hospitals in the whole of the state.
”Governor Akeredolu has now expanded from two to seven and they are now across the three senatorial districts of the state. As we speak, work is going on at the Teaching hospital both in Ondo and Akure.
“Arakunrin Akeredolu has introduced the Contributory health scheme which has also brought about free health care service for under-five children and pregnant women.”
