Mimiko Launches Verbal Attack on APC, says Party cannot provide Change, calls Buhari a Liar
The Governor of Ondo State, Olusegun Mimiko, has verbally attacked the presidential candidate of the APC, General Muhammadu Buhari, saying he ”lacks integrity for claiming to be a poor man despite having contested the presidency four times”.
Mimiko, who said this while inaugurating a primary school in Akure as part of activities commemorating his 6th anniversary as the governor of the state, urged people to vote for President Goodluck Jonathan, saying the All Progressives Congress is a propaganda party built on lies.
“The mega school concept of our government is about re-engineering education in the state with emphasis on Information and Communications Technology. It is an initiative which is about polity, equity and real progressivism, which is beyond the suffocating propaganda being dished out by agents of nebulous change in the country.
“The same progression drive is behind the decision of President Jonathan’s establishment of Almajiri schools in the North. What is being experienced in the state is the real change and just like what President Jonathan is doing at the federal level.
“This is different from those who lack integrity but (are) calling for change which they can’t give. You have contested presidential election four times and you call yourself a poor man; what kind of lie is that? Is that what will bring change?”
He said the country would do better under President Jonathan because he had demonstrated that he meant well for the country “unlike those who are after power to shore up their investment base.”
