Ex-Ondo governor Mimiko dumps PDP

Olusegun Mimiko, former governor of Ondo state, has resigned his membership of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

In a letter addressed to the party chairman in Ward 7, Ondo west LGA, Mimiko said, “I am tendering my resignation from the People’s Democratic Party, effective from April 10, 2026.”

The former governor said the decision became necessary following speculations about his membership status.

“Speculations and inquiries about my membership status have made it necessary for me to clarify my position,” he said.

“As I have been somewhat distanced from party activities, I wish to put it on record that I am no longer a member of the PDP.”

While not indicating his next political move, Mimiko added that the decision was made without any ill will towards anyone.
