Ondo State Governor, Dr. Olusegun Mimiko, has accused the All Progressives Congress of deceiving Nigerians, saying the Peoples Democratic Party will defeat the former in next year’s election.
Speaking in Ado-Ekiti on Friday when he visited his Ekiti State counterpart, Mr. Ayo Fayose, Mimiko asked the APC to convince Nigerians on its “change” slogan.
He said, “We want APC leaders to explain to Nigerians what they mean by 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.”
On the chances of the PDP in the coming general elections, Mimiko said the party understood the sophistication of elections and the issues involved.
He said, “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 won’t be any problem.
“In Oyo, Ogun and Lagos states, 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 save them from electoral defeat.”
