FINALLY,MIMIKO RETURNS TO PDP

 

AT last, Ondo State Governor, Dr Olusegun Mimiko has  decamped from the Labour Party (LP) to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
Leaders of both parties confirmed the development to newsmen in Akure last night.
However, Ondo State Information Commissioner, Mr.  Kayode Akinmade said that due to “serious pressure from the leadership of the PDP before and  after the Osun governorship election, the governor is still consulting with stakeholders across the country on this.”

“For now, the governor is still in Labour Party even if he will eventually move he cannot take a unilateral decision on this matter,’’ he added.
But another Commissioner, Barrister Remi Olatubora of Adult Education Ministry was categorical about the governor’s movement to PDP, saying: “ I woke up this morning as a LP chieftain but I am going to bed tonight as a PDP chieftain.’’
Saturday Vanguard learnt that the governor met with leaders of the party across the state yesterday where he reportedly informed them of his decision to move to PDP as a result of the pressure since 2006.
A chieftain of the party who attended the meeting in Akure said that Mimiko’s commissioners and political appointees have been directed to go to their communities and pass the message to the LP members.
