The outgoing National Chairman of the La­bour Party (LP), Chief Dan Nwanyanwu, yesterday fought back tears while mak­ing remarks about the defec­tion of the Ondo State gover­nor, Dr. Olusegun Mimiko, to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

Nwanyanwu while read­ing his address during the party’s convention held in Akure, Ondo State capital, called on other party leaders and members of the party not to be discouraged with the action of the governor but should respect his deci­sion.

The former chairman, who read a fifteen-page vale­dictory at the convention, said that Mimiko had no quarrel with the leadership of the party for the six years period he was a member, saying the governor always worked towards develop­ment of the party.

He said: “I must admit that for the six years he was a member of the party, he had cordial relationship with the party and the leadership. The party provided him with the platform that the PDP de­nied him to become the gov­ernor of Ondo State.

#wiping my sad tears#

Eyaaaa! Take heart.

These old men take this politics seriously.

Eyah! Mimiko has always been his avenue to a meal ticket!

Cry me a lake chad

Datz y its called politics... Rememba, in d game of politics dia is no permanent frnd/enemy...

Just hold on and be strong, it won't be long it will be alright. There is hope for LP to survive

Gboliwe:
These old men take this politics seriously.

That's hw it ought 2 be. Politics is serious business! Never mind our present crop of Leaders, they have no sense of decency in them.

I wouldn't be surprised if the outgoing National Chairman of the La­bour Party (LP), Chief Dan Nwanyanwu, follows Mimiko to the PDP

He knows he enters the wrong party. Its just like someone entering into a new cultist group.

This labour party seems to have the best and most humane crop of politicians in Nigeria, I wonder why none is giving them the much deserved attention.

The members in my local council are glaring examples of what 24th century politicians should look like.

No man, no cry
