The National Working Committee (NWC) of the Labour Party (LP) has asked Ondo State Governor, Olusegun Mimiko to resign from office.
The NWC made the call, Wednesday after a meeting in Abuja, the nation’s capital.
Mimiko, who was elected into office on LP platform, recently dumped the party for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
A statement issued by the LP National Publicity Secretary, Ikpe Etokudo announced that “The NWC came to the inevitable conclusion that the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and the provisions of the relevant sections of the electoral laws must be respected by Dr. Olusegun Mimiko and his new party – the PDP.
“The case of Dr. Boroffice who was elected as a Senator on the platform of our party but defected to the All Progressives Congress (APC) was cited.”
LP recalled that Dr. Mimiko was so incensed by Boroffice’s action that he advised the party to approach the court for justice.
The NWC advised Mimiko and the PDP “to take the path of honour immediately or should expect to defend their deliberate raping of the constitution of the country within next 21 days in court as well as be ready to face the wrath of workers of Ondo State in particular and the nation in general”.
