Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party Governors’ Forum, Olusegun Mimiko, yesterday stated that the opposition party would bounce back in 2019.
Mimiko, who doubles as governor of Ondo State, noted that the former ruling party was putting everything together in order to regain its lost glory.
The governor made this affirmation at the Akure airport during a mini-reception organised for him on his return from Abuja.
Mimiko said the governors would put all hands on deck to reuild the crisis-ridden PDP.
He said, “We must sustain enthusiasm in our party; and as governors who have pivotal roles to play in re-branding our party, we must show in governance term the difference between us and the APC and these are the challenges ahead of us.
“As opposition party, our engagement will be robust; we must offer alternative policy platform and programme when we criticise one. We must show Nigerians that we are a different party. We will not be abusive in opposing the government and we will praise where it is worthy of praise and criticise in a very robust manner”.
Speaking earlier, Speaker of the Ondo State House of Assembly, Jumoke Akindele, said Mimiko’s emergence was well deserved.
