Ondo State Governor, Dr Olusegun Mimiko, has said that the Peoples
Democratic Party (PDP) will defeat the All Progressives Congress (APC)
in next year’s election, saying APC is only deceiving Nigerians.
This is just as he said the APC should convince Nigerians on its
change slogan, noting that its top shots, by their actions, are
anti-democratic elements.
Speaking in Ado-Ekiti on Friday when he visited his Ekiti
counterpart, Mr Ayo Fayose, the governor wondered whether APC wanted
Nigeria to change from democracy to dictatorship.
He also exuded confidence that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) would win convincingly in the South-West.
“We want APC leaders to explain to Nigerians the change they shout
all over. Are they saying the country should change from democracy to
dictatorship? This is necessary because their leaders, by their actions,
have not shown that they are democratic elements.
“One can see that they are already afraid and panic has set in the way they act now,” he said.
On the chances of the PDP in the coming general elections, Mimiko
said the party understood the sophistication of elections and the issues
involved.
“In the 2011 elections, when President Goodluck Jonathan did not have
any governor in the South-West, he won in five of the states. Now that
he has more states and subsequent elections in Ondo and Ekiti have shown
that the winning streak is continuing, there is not going to be any
problem.
“In places like Oyo, Ogun and Lagos, the tide is changing in favour
of PDP. Political jobbers failed to divide us in Lagos and they are
panicking already.
“I can say it without mincing words that the APC is anxious in the
South-West and all their lies will not be able to save them from
electoral defeat,” he said.
Fayose, who chipped in briefly, said the election would surely return President Jonathan back to office.
