The Peoples Democratic Party ( PDP) in Ondo State has vehemently rejected naming former Governor Segun Mimiko as Leader of the State Presidential Campaign Council committee.
Ambassador Roland Omowa was named Chairman of the 441-member committee while Barr. Eyitayo Jegede was named as the Vice Chairman.
Dr. Mimiko has been on the team of Governor Nyesom Wike insisting that National Chairman of the party, Senator Iyorchia Ayu must go.
Some members of the PDP loyal to Mimiko said they were confused as to what the position of a Leader of campaign Council means.
The members, who spoke on anonymity, said Mimiko had not given any directive on whether they should join the Atiku campaign or not.
A statement by spokesman of the Ondo PDP, Kenney Peretei, said the State PCC was constituted by the State Working Committee in conjunction with leaders and stakeholders of the party in the State.
Peretei stated that the PCC would be inaugurated Thursday.
According to the statement: “The party wishes to express its satisfaction and confidence in the calibre of members of the Ondo State Presidential Campaign Council and their ability to deliver Ondo State for Atiku Abubakar/Ifeanyi Okowa and all other candidates of the PDP in next year’s general elections.
“To rescue, redirect and rebuild Nigeria is a task that must be done.”
