Ondo state Governor Olusegun Mimiko has unveiled reason state executives of his new party, the People's Democratic Party - PDP are against him.
The trending disclosures of the former Labour chieftain who returned to his original political party are reproduced.
'The Ondo State governor, Dr. Olusegun Mimiko, on Tuesday lashed out at
members of the Ondo State People’s Democratic Party executive, saying
nobody would force him out of the party.
It will be his first
reaction to the contentions raised by his defection to the party,
particularly as it affects power sharing in the state executive
committee.
While addressing party’s youth leaders from different
parts of the country led by the National Youth Leader of the PDP, Alhaji
Abdullahi Maibasira in Akure, Mimiko said he was not in the party to
create crisis, but to add value to it.
Referring to the
accusations by the state executive council that he had come to
disorganise the party, the governor said discipline must be maintained
for the PDP to be able to win elections in 2015.
According to him, there is the need to ensure the enforcement of the decisions reached at the highest level of the party.
He
said, “No party will survive without party discipline, a party that
takes decision and cannot enforce it is not a party, a situation where
decisions are taken at the highest level chaired by the Senate President
and some party members went to court to challenge is unacceptable.
“I
have not come to PDP to be part of crisis, I have come to add value, I
am not coming into PDP on the eve of a second term election and that is
part of what we should consider, as a person I have no second term
ambition, there is no Senate available for me, I have only come to add
value.
“I am back in this party, I have made the move and nobody
is going to force me out of PDP again, if anybody thinks he will create
crisis and I will get angry and leave they are just wasting time, let us
come together and build this party, discipline must be maintained.
“My
colleagues that have decamped to PDP in the past they give them all the
structure, all of them, Abia, Bauchi, Zamfara but I said I don’t need
all the structure just to give comfort to the people am bringing on
board, out of 27 seats at the state level I said let me take 14 and they
take 13, anybody that say that is not fair enough for a governor that
is coming with 25 members out of 26 in the House of Assembly.
“Since
we came on board in 2009, we have had eight elections, Labour Party did
not lose any of them, that is that value we are bringing and that is
why am saying that the minimum is what we are asking, I was even
surprised that people are contesting, I thought they should be exited'
