1. Immediately I saw this I called my mother. She told me that it is true and they are all jubilant in the state. The main issue is that people did not vote for Agagu, and they felt so cheated because of that…. and there is high hope that Mimiko would be a better governor.

   This is just the first step though… Agagu is expected to appeal.

2. Mimiko won that election outright but was robbed. I’m assuming you are from the state?

6. Readers may visit http://mimikoforgovernor.com/ for some updates and felicitate with others on this memorable day.

   From Reuters UK: “State news agency NAN quoted tribunal chairman Justice Garba Nabaruma as saying Mimiko polled 198,269 lawful votes as against 128,269 votes for Agagu. Agagu said he would appeal the ruling.”

   Loomnie - I’m an Egin-man!

   I will be doing a follow-up post on the implications of this verdict.

   Congratulations everyone!

7. THIS LONG AWAITED GOOD NEWS OF JUSTICE AND DEMOCRACY IS THE BEST NEWS OF THE YEAR. MIMIKO WAS GOVERNOR, IS NOW GOVERNOR AND WILL BE GOVERNOR FOR A LONG LONG TIME TO COME. WELL LET ONDO STATE START TO ENJOY GOVERNANCE THE WAY IT SHOULD BE. MIMIKO IS A SYMBOL OF HOPE, TRUTH, STRENGTH AND VISION AND WE SHALL ALL SEE THAT VISION ACTUALISED IN ONDO STATE. NOW LET THE AGENDA OF PROGRESS AND DIFFERENCE BEGIN. GOD IS GOOD AND WORTHY OF ALL PRAISE.

11. On this spectacular occassion, I thank God for His goodness that everythig ended peacefully. Dr Segun Agagu thank you for accepting the wish of people and the will of God without making fuss. Dr Rahaman Olusegun Mimiko, congratulation fon your victory and thank you for applying patience, peace and law in retreiving the mandate giving to you by the people of Ondo State.

    Otunba Oyewole Fashawe (The ASIWAJU OF OWO), truly you are one of the leaders to respect in Ondo state, Yoruba and Nigeria. Baba, please forgive Dr Agagu because “nomatter how smart a boy is, he can never narrate the story of how is father was born better than his grandfather or grandmother. The remain likes of Dr Agagu will learn how to respect a sincere and resouceful benefactor, especially when it comes to the issue of a supportive elder who single-handedly lifts and supports you to the top where you realise your dream.

    ASIWAJU Bola Tinubu, Chief Olu Falae, Aremo Segun Osoba, Otunba Oyewole Fashawe and othe tested and trusted leaders in Yoruba land, I congratulate you. These days political development in Yoruba land (Ondo and Ekiti State) differentiate you from others. Relent not your efforts, the spirits, the gods and the people of Yoruba land are solidly behind you.

    Ondo state indigens (home and abroad), rise up to embraise the new era of Dr Rahaman Segun Mimiko. Let us give him undiluted and productive support that will deliver a good dividend of politics for swift and lasting development in Ondo state.

    Honourable members of the Ondo State House of Assembly, I use this avenue to seek your productive support to Dr Mimiko. Pratically, your loyality to your party is essentially required, but remember that Ondo State can only be moved forward when you support Dr Mimiko. Ondo state can only be developed practically by Ondo state leaders and indigens.

    Conclusively, I beg all my elders and my leaders in Ondo state, Yoruba land and Nigeria to please leave a good political legacy behind for us, and make Ondo state, Yoruba land and Nigeria a better place for us.

12. Very well spoken Ola Falodun. But AGAGU HAS NO CHOICE and well as much as to Err is Human and To Forgive is Divine”, It is only God that can forgive Agagu expecially in displaying utter ruthlessness by trying to empty Ondo State coffers over the past 6 months. Only a monster will do that, and Agagui is indeed a MONSTER, like his godfather Obasanjo. In remembering the SHAME OF PAST LEADERS, WE TRY TO AVOID HISTORY REPEATING ITSELF. In the meantime, we move on and work hard to make Ondo State forget the past history of neglect and punishment.

    Mimiko by the grace of God will be a very successful governor, and I pray that the TWO SHINNING STARS THAT GOD HAS BROUGHT OUT IN THE FIRST TWO MONTHS OF 2009, i.e. OBAMA AND MIMIKO will ride through the road of GOVERNMENT OF RESTORATION AND CHANGE SUCCESSFULLY AND WITH EASE, Amen.

13. We thank Almighty God for the success of the new governor.
    I want the Governor to work for the people of the state as he promised. Also he should do something on the government quarters, Alagbaka quarters,Ala quarters. People their, many of them have been there for 20yrs, they should allow the 1-4Levels staff to have a place there. They should renovate the place.
