Nyesom Wike, the governor of Rivers State, has called for equity inside the Peoples Democratic Party, and Mimiko has committed to continue to support him in this endeavor (PDP).
The Ondo PDP Presidential Campaign Council’s new leader is Mimiko.
The Council would have been officially inaugurated tomorrow, but according to a statement from Mimiko’s Special Assistant on Media and Digital Communications, John Paul Akinduro, he has received a flood of calls and messages from political allies asking if he has abandoned Wike, Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde, and their fellow governors.
Mimiko, who called it fake news, insisted that he was still pushing for parity in the PDP and, specifically, for a national chairman from the South.
He asserted that the report and the list that caused it were forgeries intended to confuse the situation and damage his reputation.
Akinduro said: “It must be stated with emphasis that Dr. Mimiko was neither consulted by anyone nor consented to his inclusion in any Ondo state PDP Presidential Campaign Council list.
“For the avoidance of doubt and to set the record straight, Dr Mimiko is unwavering in his commitment to the principle of equity, fairness and justice through which he believes a credible push for a PDP victory is possible.
“He fully subscribes to the agitation by his colleagues and other stakeholders in PDP and the generality of Nigerians that the PDP structure must reflect Nigeria’s diversity, if it genuinely wants to unify a visibly divided country.”
