Abbas Mimiko, candidate of the Zenith Labour Party (ZLP) in the Ondo governorship election, has appealed to voters not to sell their votes.
Speaking with journalists while waiting to be accredited, Mimiko said the election has so far been peaceful, adding that the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has been professional.
“There’s no good governance in Ondo. Besides that, there seems to be peace from the reports reaching us. The law enforcement agencies seem to be living up to their billing,” he said.
“INEC seems to be carrying out their own duties fairly and justly. I had no doubt in my mind that the president will instruct the right things to be done. They won’t be partial.

“So it’s left for us, the citizens of Ondo state, to decide not to go the ‘see and buy way’ that is happening all over the place.
“Don’t sell your future for N20,000… the future of your children.
“Go and vote for a candidate of your choice that will take you out of this poverty to a place of pride.”
