Abass Mimiko, former governorship candidate for the Zenith Labour Party in Ondo State, has called on Nigerians to demand greater transparency from voters ahead of the 2027 elections. In a recent statement, Mimiko emphasized the need for citizens to ensure that ballot choices reflect genuine intentions, rather than being influenced by external pressures. His remarks come as political tensions continue to rise in the lead-up to the next electoral cycle.
Mimiko also highlighted the importance of holding state governors accountable for the increased financial allocations received following the removal of the petrol subsidy. He argued that these funds should be used efficiently to benefit local communities. The former candidate, who is also the younger brother of former Ondo State Governor Olusegun Mimiko, has been actively engaging in political discourse to shape the upcoming election landscape.
In addition to advocating for accountability, Mimiko has floated the idea of forming a coalition to support President Tinubu’s potential re-election bid. This move underscores his growing influence in national politics and his strategic positioning ahead of the 2027 polls. His calls for transparency and responsibility reflect broader concerns about governance and public trust in the political system.
