Former Governor of Ondo State, Olusegun Mimiko, has officially joined the All Progressives Congress (APC). Mimiko, who served as governor from 2009 to 2017, was received at the APC secretariat in Ondo West Local Government by the party’s state chairman, Babatunde Kolawole, alongside the Speaker of the Ondo State House of Assembly, Olamide Oladiji.
Political Journey
Mimiko, renowned for his notable achievements in the health sector, resigned from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in April, fueling widespread speculation about his next political move. He was previously a prominent figure in the Labour Party before defecting to the PDP, where he later held influential positions both at the state and national levels.
Implications for Ondo Politics
His return to active politics through the APC is seen as a significant political development in Ondo State, given his longstanding influence and strong grassroots support base. Political analysts believe his defection could reshape the political landscape ahead of upcoming elections.
Details of his reception and future plans are expected to emerge in the coming days.
