Former Governor of Ondo State, Olusegun Mimiko, on Thursday officially defected to the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Mimiko, who governed Ondo State from 2009 to 2017, had resigned from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in April before announcing his decision to join the ruling party.
The former governor made the announcement at the APC Ward 7 Secretariat in Ondo West Local Government Area of the state.
Speaking at the event, Mimiko said his decision to join the APC was driven by his desire to contribute to the socio-economic and political development of the country, as well as support the re-election bid of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in 2027.
