The political landscape of Ondo State has witnessed a major shift as the former Governor, Olusegun Mimiko, officially defected to the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Mimiko, widely recognized for his notable achievements in the health sector, was formally received at the APC secretariat in Ondo West Local Government.
The welcoming party was led by the state chairman of the party, Babatunde Kolawole, alongside the Speaker of the Ondo State House of Assembly, Olamide Oladiji.

This move follows the former governor’s resignation from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in April, which had fueled speculation about his next political move.
Having governed Ondo State from 2009 to 2017, Mimiko was previously a prominent figure in the Labour Party before defecting to the PDP, where he later held influential positions both at the state and national levels.
His return to active politics through the APC is seen as a significant political development in Ondo State, given his longstanding influence and strong grassroots support base.
