Ahead of the October 20 gubernatorial election in Ondo State, the Olusegun Mimiko Campaign Organisation, on Sunday, raised the alarm over alleged massive purchase of voter cards by the opposition from unsuspecting people in the state.

The organisation, while making this disclosure in a release by its Director of Publicity, Mr Kolawole Olabisi, decried the move which it termed a surreptitious attempt by the opposition to rig the forthcoming election, whittle down the expected massive re-election of the incumbent governor, Dr Olusegun Mimiko, by the dastard act.

According to a statement by the director of publicity of the committee, Mr  Olabisi, the opposition in the state wanted to use the plan to rig the election.

He said; “The Olusegun Mimiko Campaign Organisation has uncovered massive mob up of voters’ cards by the opposition from unsuspecting members of the populace who are now being lured with financial inducement of between N5, 000 and N10, 000 in their desperation to win the forthcoming election at all cost when it has become crystal clear that they cannot win in a free and fair election.

“This is another of their darned plan, part of which is to visit on the state an unprecedented level of violence as they did recently in several areas of the state.”
