Senator Buruji Kashamu, a member of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP has blamed Governor Olusegun Mimiko for the party's defeat at the just concluded Ondo Governorship election.
Kashamu said the refusal of Mimiko to heed his advise against imposing Jegede who was from his (Mimiko) senatorial district caused PDP the state; PUNCH reports.
''We told Governor Mimiko that after eight years in office, the good people of Ondo State would resist the injustice of producing a successor from the same senatorial district where he hails from.
“It is not that Jegede is not a good material. He is urbane, intelligent and smart. He would have probably won had he come from any other senatorial zone than Mimiko’s.
“We told Mimiko that the people would not take anything that would look like a third term for him and his senatorial district. He would not listen.
''Mimiko turned deaf ears to wise counsel, just like he turned his back on all those who helped him to power. Despite being the Chairman of the PDP Governors’ Forum, Mimiko turned himself into Fayose’s puppet, allowing Fayose to lead him by the nose.”
