Ondo Residents Accuse RotimiAkeredolu, Segunmimiko Of Hiring Thugs To Manipulate Assembly Election | Sahara Reporters In Ward 11, Mimiko came with his blue Toyota Corolla, accompanied by an ash-coloured bus loaded with thugs and cash. READ MORE:
"In ward 1, units 4, 5, 9, 10 and 11, thugs chased away those who are not prepared to vote for the Zenith Labour Party . In Ward 11, Mimiko came with his blue Toyota Corolla, accompanied by an ash-coloured bus loaded with thugs and cash. Apart from scaring away people, he was giving money to those on the queue to support his rigging plan.
Bearing placards with different inscriptions, the protesters stormed the Independent National Electoral Commission office in Akure, singing solidarity songs. They also called for the cancellation of the house of assembly election. Segun Adegoke, a factional chieftain of the PDP who spoke on behalf of the protesters, said the house of assembly election conducted in Ondo was the"worst in the history" of the town as thugs had a free day to intimidate and chase away voters from their respective polling units.
"It is common knowledge that prior to this election, the All Progressives Congress as a party was in disarray. Within them, the centre could not hold. The confusion and quagmire in which the Governor of Ondo State found himself pushed him to the point of desperation. His fear, however, is not unfounded because the first election of February 23rd had shown him the poor performance of his party.
"So, it is easy to find solace in the predicament of Rotimi Akeredolu. It is on this note that the brigandage, daylight robbery, oppression, intimidation, harassment and traumatisation of the people of Ondo kingdom was hatched. In their thoughts, they have conquered the Ondo people politically and as such should share all the constituencies among their cronies through violence, harassment and intimidation.
