A former Ondo State Governor, and the national leader of the Zenith Labour Party (ZLP), Segun Mimiko, has condemned the lingering violence in the state ahead of Saturday\u2019s governorship election.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mimiko<\/a> who expressed worry ahead of the election in a statement issued in Owo during a ZLP rally on Wednesday, lamented that at least five persons died in recent weeks during political violence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While addressing the crowd at the ZLP rally in Owo, Mimiko asked parties why their \u201cmembers are using guns to pursue members of rival political parties\u201d and further berated the use of students\u2019 shuttle buses for election campaigns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOur party believes that government projects are for the benefit of the people. They should know that there is life after office.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mimiko also expressed confidence that the ZLP candidate and Deputy Governor, Agboola Ajayi, who is contesting against Governor Rotimi Akeredolu of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and Eyitayo Jegede, flagbearer of the People\u2019s Democratic Party (PDP) will win the governorship election.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
