Ondo APC chides Mimiko for ‘incompetence’

The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ondo State has said Governor Olusegun Mimiko lacks the economic knowledge to rule the state.

In a statement by its Director of Publicity, Steve Otaloro, the APC said: “We have been vindicated on our allegation of economic incompetence of the Dr. Olusegun Mimiko-led government, which is not paying attention to the declining status of the state’s economy.

“The state has not recorded any single capital import into the state in the past four years of the administration.”

The party recalled that a report released by the National Bureau of Statistics ranked the state as the least among states that have not imported capital.

Otaloro said “among the oil producing states, Cross-River, Delta, Akwa-Ibom, Edo and Rivers recorded significant amount of capital import to their various states.



“One may be forced to ask what was the need for all the numerous foreign trips by the governor, particularly when he could not attract any major investment to the state.

“It is evident that Governor Mimiko has been going on safaris all the while in all his foreign trips and in pursuit of his personal agenda at the expense of the state.”
