GOV. MIMIKO ACCUSED OF BLACKMAILING FG

The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ondo State Sunday accused the State governor, Dr Olusegun Mimiko, of blackmailing the Federal Government with the hardship being experience by the citizens of the state and the country.
The APC through its Director of Publicity, Mr Steve Otaloro in a statement blamed the hardship being experienced in the country on the 16 years reign of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) at the federal level and the mismanagement of the state fund by by PDP-led administration in the state.
The PDP-led administration in the state has blamed the delay in the payment of salary of civil servants and the execution of some projects on the dwindling revenue from the federation account.
Mimiko has also called for restructuring of the polity so that Federal Government can shed some of its powers to the federating units just as he consistently pushed for the review of the sharing of the revenue from the federation account.
But the APC described such agitations as blackmail on the part of the governor, blaming the dwindling revenue of the mismanagement of the past.
According to Otaloro, Mimiko has embarked on provocative campaign of calumny aimed at inciting the good people of the state against the APC-led Federal Government.
