There are mutterings among some members of the opposition Peoples Democratic Party( PDP) in Ondo State over the naming of a former State Governor, Olusegun Mimiko, as Leader of the State Presidential Campaign Council.
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 in 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 meant.
The members said Mimiko had not given any directive on whether or not they should join the Atiku campaign.
A statement by spokesperson 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 on 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.” (adapted from The Nation)
