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.”
