DEFECTION TO PDP: LP gives governor Mimiko 21 day ultimatum to resign

The National Working Committee, NWC, of the
Labour Party, LP, on Wednesday told Governor of
Ondo State, Olusegun Mimiko to respect
constitution of the party and resign from office
within 21 days.
It would be recalled that Mimiko was elected into
office as an LP candidate but recently dumped the
party for the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.
The NWC of the Labour Party gave the ultimatum
after a meeting in Abuja.
The position of the LP was contained in a statement
issued by its National Publicity Secretary, Ikpe
Etokudo.
It reads: “The NWC came to the inevitable
conclusion that the constitution of the republic and
provision of relevant section of the electoral laws
must be respected by Dr. Olusegun Mimiko and his
new party – the PDP. “The case of Dr. Boroffice
who was elected as a Senator on the platform of our party but defected to the All Progressives Congress (APC) was cited. The
NWC reminded Dr. Mimiko that he was so incensed by Boroffice’s action that
he advised the party to approached the court for justice. The NWC warned all those concerned to take the
path of honour immediately or should expect to defend their deliberate raping of the constitution of the country within next 21 days in court as well as be ready to face the wrath of workers of Ondo State in particular and the nation in general
