Jonathan will defeat Buhari in 2015-Mimiko

Ondo State Governor, Dr Olusegun Mimiko, has said that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) will defeat the All Progressives Congress (APC) in next year’s election, saying APC is only deceiving Nigerians.

This is just as he said the APC should convince Nigerians on its change slogan, noting that its top shots, by their actions, are anti-democratic elements.
Speaking in Ado-Ekiti on Friday when he visited his Ekiti counterpart, Mr Ayo Fayose, the governor wondered whether APC wanted Nigeria to change from democracy to dictatorship.
He also exuded confidence that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) would win convincingly in the South-West.
“We want APC leaders to explain to Nigerians the change they shout all over. Are they saying the country should change from democracy to dictatorship? This is necessary because their leaders, by their actions, have not shown that they are democratic elements.
“One can see that they are already afraid and panic has set in the way they act now,” he said.
On the chances of the PDP in the coming general elections, Mimiko said the party understood the sophistication of elections and the issues involved.
“In the 2011 elections, when President Goodluck Jonathan did not have any governor in the South-West, he won in five of the states. Now that he has more states and subsequent elections in Ondo and Ekiti have shown that the winning streak is continuing, there is not going to be any problem.
“In places like Oyo, Ogun and Lagos, the tide is changing in favour of PDP. Political jobbers failed to divide us in Lagos and they are panicking already.
“I can say it without mincing words that the APC is anxious in the South-West and all their lies will not be able to save them from electoral defeat,” he said.
Fayose, who chipped in briefly, said the election would surely return President Jonathan back to office.
