Ondo 2020: Mimiko’s Political Ego deflated

***as ZLP may go into extinction

Agboola Ajayi: Traitor, Not to be Trusted

The candidate of the Zenith Labour Party (ZLP), Mr Agbbola Ajayi, is a heavy loser in the election in view of the circumstances of his emergence as the party’s candidate.

With the results of the election, Ajayi,who is the incumbent Deputy Governor of the state, may eventually lose his seat as the Number Two citizen of the state.

The process for the removal of the Ajayi as the deputy governor, was only suspended to avoid distractions, that it may create among stakeholders.

Moreover, the result of the election would adversely affect the political future of Ajayi considering the fact that the prevailing sentiment, was that the power should go to Ondo South after the second term of Akeredolu.

But Ajayi may have lost the opportunity to ever rule the state. Though he was believed to have deployed a lot of financial resources into the contest, he has betrayed trust and is already being seen as a traitor in many circles.

Olusegun Mimiko: Deflated Ego

The fact that the immediate past Governor of Ondo State and a National Leader of the ZLP, Dr Olusegun Mimiko, popularly called Iroko, even lost election in his Ondo West Local Government was a major minus to his political posture.

For supporting Ajayi, Governor Akeredolu has never hidden his feelings that the friendship between him and his immediate past predecessor, had become strained forever.

The support that Mimiko gave Ajayi may have further widened the gap between him and some PDP governors. It was a case of deflated ego for Mimiko, who many people thought, can get whatever he wants politically in Ondo West and Ondo East.

The results of the election has further reduced the polical influence of Mimiko. Some people were even of the opinion, that Iroko is dead politically. He has already been labelled as a traitor by many people, especially, those who do not like his style of politics.

Zenith Labour Party: May Become Extinct

The ZLP as a party, may go into extinction, sequel to the outcome of the election as the party may not have financiers that can keep the party members for future elections. It was gathered that some leaders of the party, even collected money from the APC leaders in the Saturday election.
