NGF: Mimiko Challenges Amaechi, Proof That i Voted

 Dr Olusegun Mimiko who is the Vice Chairman of the Jonah Jang faction of the Nigerian Governors Forum, NGF, Wednesday, challenged his Rivers State counterpart, Rotimi Amaechi to substantiate his claim that he (Mimiko) voted at the disputed election by producing the video evidence.
The Ondo State governor in a statement in Akure was reacting to Amaechi’s claim that he (Mimiko) voted at the controversial election which Governor Amaechi was said to have won.
Mimiko said: “Amaechi should not hide under religion to cover up his anti-democratic dispositions. Nothing stops Governor Amaechi from proving to the world that I voted by using the same video he has been using to tell the public that there was an election.
“If Amaechi is saying I voted at the election, I think he should prove it to the whole world that I did. I sincerely believe that a process must have led to the declaration of result contained in their few minutes video clip. That later part can’t come in isolation. I challenge him to show the entire proceedings, including where I voted”.

According to him, “Amaechi should tell the world whether or not he presided over his own election despite cries that he should step aside for an interim chairman to preside over the same election as it is the practice in any democratic setting
“He should also tell the world whether or not he was the sole provider of ballot papers and ballot box used for the charade where he was also a contestant.
“He should tell the world why he insisted he must contest for another term even when he knew it negates the norm in the Forum.”
