The Governor of Ondo State, Dr Olusegun Mimiko, has said the Peoples Democratic Party in his state has been transformed into a mega party following the harmonization of the party’s state executive committee.
Mimiko, who spoke in Abuja on Friday, however, urged the members of the National Working Committee of the party to cross check future complaints from the state from the new executive to avoid what he called duplication of party platforms, especially now that the general election is few months away.
Mimiko spoke with journalists at the national headquarters of the party shortly after the inauguration of a new Ondo state executive committee of the PDP in the state.
Crisis erupted within the ranks of the party when Mimiko defected to the PDP from the Labour Party with his supporters.
This led to a legal action which has now been resolved.
The governor however called on the Clement Faboyede-led committee to fashion out panacea to challenges plaguing the party in the state.
He said, “I plead with the NWC to cross check complaints from the state, now that there is unifying platform, to avoid multiplicity of platforms, few months to elections.
“I know we can’t afford to go into such elections with a divided house, but now we must congratulate each other for being able to come together without any rancour.”
He explained that the inauguration of the new leadership has ended all previous litigation instituted by members of the party in the court of law.
National chairman of the party, Alhaji Adamu Mu’azu, in his speech, lauded the out-going chairman, Ebenezer Alabi saying the party will not forget their sacrifice.
Mu’azu, who was represented by the national scribe of the party, Prof. Wale Oladipo said “the south west will now be in the drivers seat come 2015 general elections.”
