With the 2015 general elections coming soon, a good number of Nigerian leaders are switching parties.
Olusegun Mimiko, the Governor of Ondo state has left the Labour Party (LP) for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
The news was confirmed by leaders of LP as well as chieftains of both parties, to reporters in Akure.
According to the Commissioner of Information for the state Kayode Akinmade, the move was due to the “serious pressure” from the leadership of the PDP before and after the Osun governorship election.
Vanguard says Mimiko is still consulting with stakeholders across the country on this move. “For now the governor is still in Labour Party even if he will eventually move he cannot take a unilateral decision on this matter.”. it states.
