Leader of the Action Congress of Nigeria ACNAsiwaju Bola Tinubu yesterday launched a final attack on Governor Segun Mimiko describing him as an ingrate and a serial betrayer even as he disclaimed any aspiration towards fitting into Chief ObafemiAwolowo's shoes.
At a rally in Akure to round off the party's rallies ahead of this weekend's gubernatorialelection, Tinubu declared 'I am not fighting for the shoes of Awolowo it is too big for me. I am not fighting for Awolowo cap. He has taken both away.'
Tinubu also took time to castigate the incumbent governor Olusegun Mimiko describing him as an ingrate whom he helped but later dumped him.
Quoting from the Holy Bible what will happen to those who are ingrates, Tinubu insisted that he bankrolled the expenses incurred by Mimiko at the election petition tribunal.
He said that Mimiko betrayed his two predecessors in office, Adebayo Adefarati, Olusegun Agagu and former President Olusegun Obasanjo.
Tinubu however said that he was not surprised that Mimiko is denying that he collected money from him when he was in the trenches.
He asked the people of the state to drive Mimiko out of Ondo state through their votes this weekend.
On godfatherism, he pointed out that 'I am happy he calls me godfather. My own godfather is not that of Anthony Anenih in Edo state. Mine is for the development and progress of South West states.
'My own godfatherism is mentoring reliable and dependable people in the South West states for progress and development.'
He reiterated the need for Ondo State to join other states in the region to make integration of the region a success.                               Source:Informationnigeria
