ONDO Sate Governor, Dr Olusegun Mimiko, has denied planning to leave the Labour Party (LP) for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), saying he is not in a hurry to leave the party that gave him the platform to emerge as the governor of the state.
The polity, in recent times, has been awash with reports that Mimiko, who is considered to be very close to the presidency and President Goodluck Jonathan, had perfected plans to joining the PDP and that a sharing arrangement of political offices in Ondo state at the ratio of 60:40 had been sealed between the LP and PDP.
Reacting to the reports, Governor Mimiko urged LP supporters and faithful to discountenance the rumours of his impending defection to the PDP.
Mimiko, who made this known while fielding questions from journalists shortly after the National Executive Council, NEC, meeting of LP, in Abuja, said he was still a bonafide member of the party which gave him mandate to govern Ondo state.
