Mimiko Is Going No Where..Labour Party

The Labour Party (LP) has said the Ondo State Governor, Dr. Olusegun Mimiko, will not quit the party for any other political party.
The National Chairman of the party, Chief Dan Nwanyanwu, who reacted yesterday to a report that the governor was set to dump the party for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), said Mimiko would complete the second tenure as the governor of Ondo State on the platform of LP.

Nwanyanwu said Mimiko would also remain with the party as a leader and critical stakeholder to lead the party to greater heights.

In a statement issued yesterday,  the LP chairman said: "This is very insulting insinuation should have been ignored by LP but owing to the fact that the insinuations have been promoted by all manners of characters since 2009, when Mimiko first took oath of office as the Governor of Ondo State on the platform of the LP.
"We have decided to briefly respond to it because it is a generally known maxim that 'a lie told several times over could be perceived as the truth'.

"Let us state for the umpteenth time that Governor Olusegun Mimiko does not intend to decamp to the PDP or to any other party for that matter.

"Mimiko was elected governor on the platform of the LP and with LP he intends to remain. This is because he believes in the social democratic ideology of the party.

"And in case he does not believe that decamping from a party with no leadership division to another party will find conform with the provisions of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria."
The chairman, however, assured all the party members that the governor would complete the second tenure as the governor under the umbrella of the party.
