Mimiko Accused Of Diverting Jonathan’s N80m Campaign FUND

 Ondo State Governor, Olusegun Mimiko, who doubles as the Coordinator, Goodluck Jonathan Campaign Southwest, has been accused of mismanaging the sum of N80million giving to him by President Goodluck Jonathan for campaign purposes.

Former Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Governorship Candidate in the State, Chief Olusola Oke made this accusation against Mimiko over the weekend, while challenging the governor to give an account of how he has managed the president’s money.

According to Daily post, Oke noted that Mimiko was still running the affairs of the PDP in Ondo State like a one man show which he normally did during his days in Labour Party (LP) where no one questioned him.

Oke said: ”I am told that the national secretary released N80million which Mr. Governor collected and he never told anybody how he spent it. Till today, no account. I am sufficiently leading in this party for somebody to tell me this amount of money, this how we are going to spend it. Not withstanding the appropriation of this money.

‘’I want to at this occasion give a glory to God and someone like Kingsley Kuku both of us sat when we saw the way the programme was being organized, we knew it was going to be a colossal failure.

“There are 206 wards in the state, we released two vehicles each for the ward. Kuku printed posters because at the eve of the rally, there was no any posters. We printed vests. Mobilised people from different ethnic and social groups with money. Kuku bought head ties and wrappers for the women in to make the event a great one.

” So, for somebody who have collected N80,000 to have claimed that we didn’t do anything despite the money spent was from our personal money, I think it is another case of calling a dog a bad name in order to hang it. On that day, when I mounted the Podium, we all saw the different between the darkness and light”.
