  1. Performance is the secret! The time and era of regional politics are over. There is no gainsaying the fact that ACN is only interested in regional integration of the states in the South-West. To this end, ACN is towing the line of The Action Group, UPN and SDP that held sway in the region then. Mimiko should not be seen as an outcast in the region because of his political affiliation. It’s hightime the other governors in the zone rallied round him to move the region forward. Most importantly, the state is too big for one man to impose whoever he chooses or wants as governor on the people. The strong man of South-West politics (Bola Tinubu) should know by now that sovereignty lies with the people in a democracy and political party is only an instrument to capturing political power not a personal business empire.

  2. Congratulations to people of Ondo state for landslide victory for continuity in the state reformation. I also congratulate the elected Governor Dr Mimiko for the goodwork you did only speak in your favour; please leave a legacy for yourself and your party in this next four years by continue to do what majority of the peole wants. God will help you, congratulations.
