The Ondo State Governor, Olusegun
Mimiko, has described the ‘change’ slogan by the All Progressives
Congress as a hoax, adding that the party is an object of propaganda.
He, however, described President Goodluck Jonathan as a progressive.
Mimiko
said this while inaugurating a primary school as part of activities
commemorating his 6th anniversary as the governor of the state on Friday
in Akure.
He said he was inspired by President Goodluck Jonathan.
Mimiko, in a statement on Friday, said
President Jonathan, like Ondo State, had demonstrated that he is a
progressive, adding that “building a mega school for the Ondo State
government is making an ideological statement.”
He said, “The mega school concept of our
government is about re-engineering education in the state with emphasis
on Information and Communications Technology. It is an initiative which
is about polity, equity and real progressivism, which is beyond the
suffocating propaganda being dished out by agents of nebulous change in
the country.
“The same progressivism drive is behind
the decision of President Jonathan’s establishment of Almajiri schools
in the North. What is being experienced in the state is the real change
and just like what President Jonathan is doing at the federal level.
“This is different from those who lack
integrity but (are) calling for change which they can’t give. You have
contested presidential election four times and you call yourself a poor
man; what kind of lie is that? Is that what will bring change?”
He said the country would do better
under President Jonathan because he had demonstrated that he meant well
for the country “unlike those who are after power to shore up their
investment base.”
