Two former supporters of the Ondo State Governor, Dr. Olusegun Mimiko – Senator Ayo Akinyelure and Dr. Pius Osunyikanmi – have dumped the Peoples Democratic Party for the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Akinyelure represented Ondo Central Senatorial District, Mimiko’s senatorial district, in the seventh National Assembly.
Osunyikanmi was Mimiko’s Personal Assistant as Commissioner for Health under the late Governor Adebayo Adefarati.
He also served the governor in other capacities such as Special Assistant, Senior Special Assistant and Commissioner for Education.He was Special Adviser on International Relations to President Goodluck Jonathan before becoming the Director-General of the Technical Aids Corp.
Akinyelure and Osunyinkami, in a statement on Sunday, said they left the PDP with their supporters because of the need to support the change agenda of the President Muhammadu Buhari administration.
The statement reads: “We are most delighted to announce our formal declaration for the All Progressives Congress, APC in Ondo State. This declaration, which has ignited the fire of passionate endorsements across the state, followed our historic disengagement from the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.
