The President of Akoko Development Union, Kwara State chapter, Steve Ajulo, has described the recent stance of Governor Olusegun Mimiko of Ondo State on the Nigeria Governors' Forum as a true reflection of the wish and expectation of the people of the state.

Ajulo, who said: "A true Ondo son and daughter will always give an open support to whosoever he/she wishes," lauded Mimiko for allegedly shunning being a chameleon on the issue of leadership of the forum, just as he pledged the continued support of the Akoko for the governor.

At a press briefing yesterday in Ilorin, Ajulo said: "We commend our governor in Ondo State for not going the ways of many of his colleagues on the shameful behaviour of many of them during their last meeting to elect their new leaders. He was indeed courageous on it.

"Mimiko did not hide his feelings on who he wanted to support. Even after the election, he openly showed his loyalty to his candidate. We love this attitude because it is innate with us here in Ondo State. We always do things as we say. We are proud of him for being consistent on the issue."

Ajulo, while urging other state governors in the country to amicably resolve their differences on the issues relating to the forum, cautioned against consistent bickering over it. He added that it could cause disaffection among them.
