He expressed confidence in his ability to address food security concerns, promising a surplus of food within a year of his administration. Additionally, he pledged to prioritize affordable quality education, industrialization, housing, and free healthcare services for all residents.

Abass Mimiko also highlighted the support and encouragement he received from his brother, Olusegun Mimiko, stating that he is prepared to continue and build upon his brother's accomplishments if elected.

Nonsense

mentally unstable people..Abass Mimiko koo, Abass Akande Obesere nii

I think there is lot of money in politics and people are in it to cash out big time to secure the future of their unknown generation. Let there be strong punishable measure to deal with anyone found guilty of money laundry, you will see how less lucrative it would be.

Only one question, I hope this Abass no get another younger brother?

Their family get plans.

You are wrong! Very wrong!
The only university of medical sciences in Ondo state was sited in Ondo town by Mimiko.
There are only 2 Mother & child hospitals in the whole of Ondo state, one in Akure, one in Ondo. Both were built by Mimiko.
Mimiko also built the only Orthopedic and traumatic center in Ondo state in his town. Even the general hospital in Akure referred patients to this center.
Before Mimiko became governor, the major road in Ondo township in just one-way road, Mimiko turned it to dual carriage road.

What else do you expect from him? Were you expecting him to abandon other parts of the state because of Ondo town? How I wish my own local government should enjoy this kind of projects.

I knew you would say that. He created the trauma centre and mother and child. But I was in Ondo then thankfully so I know better.

The three roads that were dualized in Ondo town where he is from and for 8 years as governor were Inward Ondo from Akure express way, and the two connecting roads from that road; 1 road that goes to Ife garage and another that goes into the other part of town (can't remember the name) all three roads were not up to 1km each.

He also built mother and child hospital in Ondo and Akure and Trauma canter in Ondo. The medical school linked to the trauma center was initiated by him on his way out, but that was all, INITIATED. Akeredolu takes the glory for that cos he executed it.

So we have three roads of less than 3km and a trauma center for Ondo.

The Trauma centre in Ondo, and mother and child (Ondo and Akure) though a laudable project that many benefitted from, esp mother and child, by way of free childbirth (people were coming from far away Benin to chop this freebie) was not really solely funded by him. I'll explain cos I was involved in this. He built the edifice, and he bought some good equipment I won't lie, but you see all the medication and consumables down to gloves, Mimiko no pay shingbai till he comot. But he took all the glory and the goodwil for both projects. The pharma companies that supplied all those items running into tens of billions na them lose. I no even know if those debts still dey till now, or if Akeredolu settled it.

I was in the pharmaceutical industry so I know what I'm telling you. So many companies were already hooked and of course stopped supplying, and it got so bad that those lovely edifices had to go and purchase any items they needed at local pharmacy with cash in hand by about 2015/2016. I saw the debt sheets with my korokoro eyes cos I was also lobbying to secure a huge LPO for my company then, and the HOD na Ondo man too, so I use my knowledge of Ondo dialect take enter am. Some wey dey eager to sell and didn't know were still supplying and adding to the huge debt figure. The man had to clear me say make I no bother cos as at 2013 mother and child was already owing over a billion (and rising) to various pharma companies for drugs and consumables. Trauma center own even worse, but like I said I won't lie, yes he built those projects and put some really good equipment there. I recall the trauma center as at that 2013/2014 took delivery of dialysis equipment and was the only dialysis center to use in Ondo as at then.

I also know how many people in Ondo ravenously supported him seeing as he is from Ondo. We had very high expectations that he would finally really give Ondo a much needed break and transformation after all the others before him all neglected to do so. Less than 3km of road and trauma center is something, but that wasn't all Ondo was expecting from Mimiko from an eight year tenure.


Again, you need to see what Ambode did to Epe in 4 years to understand why I'm not clapping for Mimiko for less than 3km of road and trauma centre in 8 years

It does not mean nothing should be happening in the state. They don't have light in places like okitipupa for over 17 years now. Ekiti is leaving the state behind in development

true oo, but see, make we no dey make excuses for these guys jare. Werey ni won. See sample of allocation to states in May 2013. Bear in mind, naira wasn't tissue paper then o.

See how much Ogun got, see how much Oyo got, see how much Lagos got, and see how much Ondo got. I won't speak so much to Ogun cos na Abeokuta Ogun state development start and end, but I dare say Ajimobi tried with the resources he got in Oyo, aside his big mouth and caustic personality, and of course him thievery too.

Thankfully Makinde consolidated on all the good work and really has now reshaped Oyo state, thank God. You wan try Ibadan now😁 (for the most part).

Na this electricity remain now that states and individuals have been given go ahead to invest in the electricity sector.

He want to turn ZLP to a family party.
