Recently, speculations were rifed that the presidency wants to sack INEC Chairman, Prof Attahiru Jega and replace him with Prof. Mimiko, former Vice Chancellor, Adekunle Ajasin University(AAU)Akungba-Akoko and Governor Mimiko’s brother – Well, speaking to reporters yesterday in Akure, Ondo State Capital, Mimiko debunked such speculations, saying it was a mere propaganda by the opposition(APC) – Here’s what the Governor had to say:
“I don’t know where the propaganda emanated.It is not true. My brother did not apply for INEC job.Well, Sanusi was disposed as CBN Governor and the heavens didn’t fall, so I won’t be surprised if the same happens to Jega or what do you think???
“Let me tell you, it is just a propaganda from the opposition. If this is true, I should have been in the best position to know. i don’t know what they want to gain from the rumour.
“President Jonathan had also denied that Prof. Jega is to be removed from office, so it is a blantant lie. Prof Mimiko did not apply or lobby for INEC job”.
