Ondo state governor, Olusegun Mimiko is the latest politician to decamp from his party to the ruling party. The PDP in Ondo state today August 22nd confirmed that the governor has now joined their party, decamping from the Labour Party. The governor made his defection known to his cabinet members and close political associates at a meeting held at the government house in Akure the state capital.
Mimiko came into power on the platform of the Labour Party.
He has always been a PDP member. Dr. Olusegun Mimiko was the secretary to the Ondo state government under Late Agagu when he was the governor of Ondo state. Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, later appointed him a Minister, he got these appointments as a PDP member. However, his ambition to contest for the governorship of Ondo State under the banner of PDP was not realised, hence he dumped PDP, to join the Labour Party to realise his dream and he won.
