The Ondo State chapter of the Labour Party on
Monday, urged Governor Olusegun Mimiko not to be distracted by the
resignation of the Chairman of the LP in the state, Dr. Olaiya Oni,
from the party.
The party asked Mimiko to put the development behind him and focus on the programmes and projects currently being executed by his administration in the state.
The Public Relations Officer of the party, Mr. Femi Okunjemiruwa, in a statement, however, said Oni’s letter of resignation had yet to be received by the party, either at the state or national levels.
The party said, “It is odd that Dr. Oni chose an unorthodox route to announce his resignation instead of submitting a letter to the national secretariat of the party.
“It is pitiable that the pivot of Dr. Oni’s resignation is that he has not enjoyed enough juicy contracts from the Ondo State Government.
“This celebrated sentiment by the erstwhile chairman is tangential to the ethos of the Labour Party to ensure the greatest good for the greatest number of the people of Ondo State, and not to donate public fund to some influential party chiefs.
Meanwhile, traditional rulers and some representatives of Akoko North East Local Government Area of Ondo State led by the traditional ruler of Ise-Akoko, Oba Adegbenro Omola, on Monday paid a solidarity visit to Mimiko over Oni’s resignation.
They converged on the Governor’s Office as early as 8.30am, armed with placards conveying various inscriptions, to dissociate themselves from Oni’s action.
