The Labour Party (LP) has insisted that Governor Olusegun Mimiko of Ondo State is still a member of the party, despite his purported planned defection to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
The party’s governorship candidate in the June 21 governorship election in Ekiti State, Hon. Opeyemi Bamidele, stated that “Mimiko would address the nation on his plans but today he remains the leader and member of LP”.
Bamidele added that “The National Executive Committee (NEC) will meet in Abuja tomorrow to discuss the issues.
“After the meeting, we will be able to confirm or refute the rumours and how the party stands”.
