A prominent Ondo indigene and chairman, Senate Committee on Science and Technology, Professor Robert Boroffice, has described the movement of Governor Olusegun Mimiko to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) as a big blessing for the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the state.
Boroffice, who represents Ondo North Senatorial District at the National Assembly, while reacting to the development in Abuja, explained that many aggrieved members of the Labour Party (LP) and PDP in the state had started dumping both parties for the APC.
Boroffice said, “The defection of Governor Olusegun Mimiko to the PDP is the best thing that could happen politically to the APC in Ondo State.
“Before Mimiko finally made his intention known to Nigerians that he was going to join the PDP, his heart has always been with the PDP.
“Many of the people in the Labour Party belong to the progressives’ camp. They didn’t join LP because of Mimiko, they joined because the party subscribes to progressive ideology.”
“Now that Mimiko had gone back to the PDP, many people are also defecting from LP to join their kits and kins in the APC being a truly progressive party. We are in the harvest time in Ondo State.
“We are so excited, we are so happy. We can see the finger of God in all these things. Since Mimiko defected to the PDP, there is hardly any week that we are not harvesting at least 500 people from both the LP and PDP, who are willingly joining the real progressives party, the APC.”
