Stakeholders of the Zenith Labour Party (ZLP) in Ondo State have reportedly resolved to join the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

The resolution to join the PDP was reached at a meeting at the Ondo town residence of the national leader of the ZLP Dr. Olusegun Mimiko.

This is the third time Mimiko will defect to the PDP.

Other ZLP leaders at the meeting were former Ondo Deputy Governor Agboola Ajayi; Hon Gboye Adegbenro; former Ondo Speaker Jumoke Akindele; Chairman of Ondo ZLP, Hon Joseph Akinlaja; ex-governorship aspirant Banji Okunomo as well as former senior aides to Mimiko.

The former Governor, who held a closed-door meeting with four Governors of the PDP led by Oyo’s Seyi Makinde, said the ZLP was being invited to join the PDP to rescue the country from the brink of insecurity.

He explained that the meeting was to intimate members with outcomes of series of interactions with PDP leaders on the invitation extended to him.

The former Ondo Governor said leaders of the PDP have shown demonstrable commitment to fully integrate all willing defectors from the ZLP and accord them full membership rights in what promises to be a win for PDP members and Nigerians alike.

After deliberations, Hon Akinlaja called for a motion requesting for members of the ZLP in Ondo State to join the PDP.

The motion was affirmed by a yes vote by all present.

Mimiko was a member of the Alliance for Democracy (AD) in 1999 and served as Commissioner for Health in the late Adefarati administration.

He defected to the PDP and became Minister under former President Olusegun Obasanjo.

He was however elected Governor on the platform of the Labour Party (LP) but return to the PDP before the end of his administration.

Mimiko, known as the Iroko, defected to the ZLP ahead of the 2019 general election where he contested for the Ondo Central Senatorial seat but lost.

I believe this is as a result of the meeting between the four PDP governors and former governor Olusegun Mimiko (Iroko).

Which one is ZLP? Simply tell us that Mimiko has rejoined the PDP..... Shikena!

With Mimiko, Jegede and Agboola in one camp, Ondo is coming to PDP in 2024.

Just like the 2023 presidential elections will be a walkover for PDP.

You people always get intoxicated by little hyping.

Formalty. Saraki already told us. Iroko is not as influential as he was before but politics is funny though

Mimiko's cashing out season has come again.

The deal has been sealed.

Money has exchanged hands.
But what is the political relevance of the party sef

Zenith that could not win anything

Iranu Abacha!

Mimiko has become so weak politically, e no get mouth again for Ondo state like that jare

fergie001:
Sam..my07.....Your leader has decamped oooo

Lolzzzz.
He doesn't have the influence like b4 again.
But anything can happen

Interesting times ahead

Mimiko has joined the political wing of the IPIG terrorist organization. Still irrelevant in the scheme of things in Ondo State.

Rahman mimiko ported to Christianity from Islam for political reasons. His defecting, undefecting and defecting to pdp isn't surprising at all.

Sammy07:
Lolzzzz.

My own is.....you people should support someone from South oooo, that's my own. Jegede should go and rest.

The party and mimiko are still a liability and not an asset to the PDP
