Former Ondo State Governor, Olusegun Mimiko, has officially joined the All Progressives Congress (APC).

Mimiko formally defected to the ruling party on Thursday at the APC secretariat in Ondo West Local Government Area of Ondo State.

APC Leaders Receive Mimiko

The former governor was received by the Ondo State APC chairman, Babatunde Kolawole, alongside the Speaker of the Ondo State House of Assembly, Olamide Oladiji.

The event witnessed a large turnout of party supporters and loyalists who welcomed Mimiko into the party amid cheers and celebrations.

Mimiko Left PDP In April

Mimiko, who served as Ondo governor between 2009 and 2017, had resigned from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in April, fueling speculations about his next political destination.

Before joining the PDP, the former governor was one of the most prominent figures in the Labour Party (LP), where he built a strong political structure in Ondo State.

He later moved to the PDP and remained influential within the party at both state and national levels.

Strategic Political Move

Sources close to the development described Mimiko’s move to the APC as a major political realignment ahead of future elections in the state.

According to party insiders, the former governor still commands strong grassroots support and maintains loyal political structures across Ondo State, especially in Ondo Central Senatorial District.

They added that his experience and political network are expected to strengthen the APC’s influence in the state.
