Sworn political enemies, Governor Olusegun Mimiko of Ondo, and Bola Tinubu, National Leader of the Action Congress of Nigeria, ACN, have exchanged pleasantries in public for the first time since the October 20 governorship election in the state.
Mr. Tinubu and other ACN leaders had in the build-up to the election accused Mr. Mimiko of betrayal and vowed to unseat him as governor.
The governor in turn fired back during his re-election campaigns, asking the electorate not to vote for the ACN’s candidate, Rotimi Akerodolu, as the state would be governed from Lagos, a reference to Mr. Tinubu.
