Ali Modu Sheriff, factional chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has blamed Gov Olusegun Mimiko for the victory of APC candidate, Rotimi Akeredolu.
According to multiple reports, the Sheriff faction heaped the failure blame of the party to grab the Governorship seat in the just concluded election on Mimiko.
It was also alleged that Mimiko’s acts of impunity gave room for the poor performance of the PDP in the Ondo governorship election.
In another report by Punch, the Vice-Chairman of Sheriff’s side, Dr. Cairo Ojougboh blamed some PDP Governors of imposing their candidates on the people.
Ojougboh said “In choosing a candidate to succeed him, Mimiko did not allow the PDP members to buy forms. He mainly anointed Eyitayo Jegede (SAN) who was returned unopposed.
“Party members cried to high heavens that Jegede is from the central zone where Mimiko hails from. Their cries fell on deaf ears.”
Senator Buruji Kashamu also blamed Governor Mimiko for the woes of the party in the November 26, 2016 election.
