Ondo state Governor, Olusegun Mimiko on Tuesday that the South West zone would cast their votes massively for the Jonathan/Sambo ticket in the 2015 Presidential election.
Mimiko, who was fielding questions from newsmen in Abuja on Tuesday, assured that the electorate in the South West would vote for the Peoples’ Democratic Party (PDP) even if the All Progressive Congress (APC) picked its vice-president from the South West zone.
"Well, we are waiting for APC to pick their (Vice-President) candidate. But there is no question about the fact that in terms of enlightenment, especially in terms of appreciation of issue of politics, in terms of a long history of progressive political engagement, you give it to South West, that they know their onions.
"Don’t forget, even in 2011 when Mr President did not have any governor in the South West, he won in all the South West states apart from one; and I tell you in the South West we can see issue from propaganda.
"We know the difference between propaganda and the real stuff. I’m telling you that in the South West this election will be about the real stuff, about issues not about propaganda.
"I have no doubt in my mind that the South West will vote massively for President Jonathan to continue along this path of very useful engagement and productive governance", Mimiko added.
