Governor Olusegun Mimiko’s Campaign Organization [MCO] today alleged
that the Action Congress of Nigeria [ACN] has perfected plans to rig the
next week Saturday’s election by distributing fake dollars to the
electorate in order to secure their votes.
The Mimiko campaign
team alleged that the leadership of ACN has decided to embark on this
criminal trick due to the fact that the party treasury is now empty.
A
statement signed by its Director of Publicity, Mr. Olabisi Kolawole
said the coming gubernatorial poll had now put all the ACN controlling
States in a serious financial mess, following the huge amount of money
already spent on its candidate, Rotimi Akeredolu.
It particularly
pointed accusing fingers at Osun State Governor, Rauf Aregbesola for
wasting the state’s funds to finance the Ondo State election.
MCO
also alleged that only last week, over N2billion was withdrawn from the
State Government accounts in banks in Osogbo, the State capital while
over N3billion was siphoned from Local Government accounts in Lagos
State.
The statement reads, “Now that it has become glaring that
the Ondo election would not be a push over owing to the huge popularity
of Dr Olusegun Mimiko whose rating has continued to soar, the ACN
leaders have in their desperation to bribe voters; bought at least 500
voters’ cards from each ward in the Ondo Central where Governor Mimiko
comes from and where there is a high density of voters and pay other
sundry expenses of those to be imported as thugs; pay fake Civil Defence
corps members; fake Youth Corps members; fake policemen and army
amongst others, they have resorted to use fake dollars.
“We are
aware that fake dollars abound in the Oluwole area of Lagos where the
leader of ACN grew up, they have decided to import tonnes of these fake
dollars to pay those who would be bought over in their desperation’ as
they would not know the difference, thus eating their cake and having
it,”
