GOVERNOR Olusegun Mimiko, has denied insinuations that he went to see President Muhammadu Buhari as a prelude to crossing over to the APC or any other political party.

According to him, he had to see “the president in his capacity as the Chief security officer of the country on the need to allow justice to prevail, pointing out that Mr President gave his word that he will ensure that justice is done and I have no cause to doubt him.”

Indeed, he said, yesterday, while speaking with newsmen, in Akure, after meeting stakeholders of the party across the 18 council areas of the state that the injustice done with the substitution of the name of the PDP Governorship Candidate Eyitayo Jegede SAN will not stand, a major reason he visited Buhari.

Governor Mimiko said: “What happened with the substitution was a contrived conspiracy because the decision of  INEC cannot find comfort in Justice, principle,  law, and morality.

According to him “redress has been sought by the candidate, Eyitayo Jegede, the PDP and major stakeholders and justice will be done “because the impunity will not stand.”

The governor thanked the people of the state “for their matured action and attitude of not resorting to self help and violence even in the face of the unwarranted provocation unleashed through the back door.

“You have comported yourselves in a very commendable way. “Your peaceful but rugged and persistent resistance in the last three and half weeks would go down in the record of the new Ondo state”.
