To Effect Done Deal With Buhari, Allies To Defect To APC On Thursday
Allies of Ondo State Governor, Olusegun Mimiko are already opening discussions with certain leaders of the All Progressives Congress (APC), following the court pronouncement which stripped their anointed candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for the November 26 governorship election.
According to Daily Sun, Gov. Mimiko is contemplating a deal that would ensure that he pulled the string to ensure victory for the APC candidate, Rotimi Akeredolu, while his role would ultimately be acknowledged and rewarded by leadership of the APC.
The source, who revealed that Mimiko’s meeting with President Muhammadu Buhari was actually facilitated by a former South-West governor and minister in Buhari’s cabinet, further disclosed that in the event that Jegede could not retrieve the ticket at the Court of Appeal, the outgoing governor would ask his supporters to line behind Akeredolu, the APC candidate.
