Why PDP lost Ondo State - Buruji Kashamu Says

“We told Governor Mimiko that
after eight years in office, the good people of
Ondo State would resist the injustice of producing
a successor from the same senatorial district
where he hails from.
It is not that Jegede is not
a good material. He is urbane, intelligent and
smart. He would have probably won had he come
from any other senatorial zone than Mimiko’s.
“We told Mimiko that the people would not take
anything that would look like a third term for him
and his senatorial district. He would not listen.
Mimiko turned deaf ears to wise counsel, just like
he turned his back on all those who helped him
to power.
“Despite being the Chairman of the PDP
Governors’ Forum, Mimiko turned himself into
Fayose’s puppet, allowing Fayose to lead him by
the nose.”
