Olusegun Mimiko Joins APC, Resigns from PDP

Olusegun Mimiko, the former Governor of Ondo State, has joined the All Progressives Congress (APC) after resigning from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). His resignation from the PDP occurred a month prior to his announcement on Thursday, where he addressed a crowd in Ondo City.

Mimiko praised President Bola Ahmed Tinubu's administration for its efforts in governance and expressed his commitment to supporting initiatives aimed at peace, progress, and genuine development in Nigeria. He highlighted the importance of state policing and the decentralization of police efforts as part of his political agenda.

Mimiko's transition to the APC is seen as a significant political movement, with former House of Representatives member Joseph Iranola Akinlaja welcoming him into the party. Mimiko's decision to join the APC is viewed as a strategic move to contribute to the party's electoral success in future elections.
