2ND TERM AGENDA TEARS MIMIKOCABINET APART
… Commissioners, Super SA’s, Political appointees sidetrack
That some selected indigenes of Ondo State are already clamoring for Dr Olusegun Mimiko, the governor of Ondo state to take a shot at the governorship slot come 2013 is no more news.But the disaffection this is already creating among some so called Super Appointees, Commissioners and Labour Party [LP] Leaders who are already complaining about been side track by the new political arrangement.
Sunshine authoritatively gathered that many of the so called untouchable appointees and some members of the kitchen cabinet were already grumbling to have been sideline and left in the cold as they were already grumbling for not been carried along in the latest political show.
Some of the appointees who were often refers to in government quarters as ‘Super Appointees [S.As] were heard murmuring in whispering voice that because some of them complained that it is still too early for the Gov. Mimiko to be toying with the second term agenda.
They also complained that the governor have not even open up to them on why he wanted to go for second term as it wasn’t part of their decision when they were in trenches.
Some of the Super SA’s were reported to have berated the promoters of te 2nd Term Agenda to have not consulted with them which made some of them to reject the invitation to join the plartform.
An eye witness account told Sunshie VOICE that oe of the commissioners from the Central torn the invitation letter sent to him by the Iroko Platform saying the people can not invite him because he senior them in politics.
“Where are these people when we started the struggle for the emergence of Iroko and they now think the are smart to be talking about second term what have we done to make them believe the people will allow break the second term jinx as this may eventually be our albatross I the administration”
The party leaders on their own party were jittery about the new arrangement, as the Iroko for second term is structure in a way that natural sidelined their existent.
All the political structures created to promote the second term of Iroko are already fill with all levels of executives, while the LP executives from state to ward level are left uninvolved in the cause.
This new political development in Ondo State could be likened the era of Abacha whenthe Daniel Kanu led YEAA were canvassing for Abacha must stay, as the governor, Dr.Mimiko is yet to make any categorical statement on the issue but political watchers are saying the man was only waiting for the right time to drop the bombshell.
The governor had on several occasion publicly denounced the issue of second term that he is waiting for God direction on second term but the spokesperson of the Iroko Platform has declared that they have gone ahead of Dr Mimiko to seek God intervention on the cause.
Though, the Iroko 2nd coming is gradually getting attention while the grumbling continued in every quarter but promoters have continued their business without bordering about the ranting and grumblings of the governor political associates.
One of the most vocal personality at the vanguard for the advocacy of Dr Mimiko second term is Chief Sanya Oyinsan a highly respected political appointee in Mimiko’s government and notable media guru in Ondo State is the Coordinators of the Iroko Plartform [IR]
The inclination of Pa Oyinsan as he’s been refers to in media circles as one of those promoting the second term has given strong credibility to the agitation for Dr. Mimiko to run in 2013.
Pa Oyinsan who is currently the Chairman of the OSRC board said in one of his recent interview that since the governor has always been procrastinating saying he will take it to God in prayer.
“We have decide to have gone ahead of him to take it to God and God has answered us and we have been divinely ordered to tell the governor that his prayers has been answered now the whole world are waiting to see how the Ise-Takutakun governor will break the jinx of doing second term in Ondo State politics because no governor ever make second term” Pa Oyinsan
concluded.
It would be recalled that in one of Dr Tunji Abayomi’s interview he recalled the antecedent of Dr.Mimiko as an unrepentant advocate of one governor one term that gave him the sympathy why the people of Ondo State voted massively for him in 2007.
Abayomi said the political event that led to his emergence were as a result of his past and consistent struggle to affirm political zoning, so it is very unfair, totally unacceptable, wicked and immoral for anybody to now start canvassing for Mimiko’s second term”
He point out to the fact that “these same Dr Mimiko fought relentlessly to stop Chief Adefarati second term and did the same for Agagu 2007 for that same man to now tell the people that he want second term will be very difficult”
The whole world is watching as second term agenda continues to polarize the Mimiko’s administration in Ondo State.
