Former Governor of Ondo State, Olusegun Mimiko, has said that the Deputy Governor, Agboola Ajayi, who just moved to the Labour Party, is a politician known in and out.
Ajayi, who moved from the All Progressives Congress to the Peoples Democratic Party and now LP, is the governorship candidate of the last.
Mimiko made the comment on Sunday in Ondo town when he hosted Ajayi at his residence.
Mimiko, who described the deputy governor as a seasoned politician, added that ” all his good and bad sides we know, we do not expect surprises.”
The former governor thanked Ajayi for joining ZLP, describing him and his followers as true progressives.
Earlier, Ajayi had said he joined ZLP not only to contest the gubernatorial election, but to help promote good governance in the state.
At the meeting, Mimiko said he would not speak yet on some things the state Governor, Rotimi Akeredolu, said about him on Saturday.
Akeredolu had decried the abandoned projects by the previous administration in the state, describing this as a disgrace to governance and a disservice to the people.
Akeredolu spoke while inaugurating four projects completed by his administration at the Agagu University of Science and Technology (OSAUSTECH), Okitipupa.
Mimiko, however, said the time to compare his government with that of his successor, had not come.
He said any party or government that would not meet the needs of the masses at the point of their yearnings was not progressive.
According to Mimiko, ZLP is the only party that loves helping the poor to achieve their dreams
