Ondo: ZLP Speaks On Collapsing Structure For APC, PDP

The Zenith Labour Party in Ondo State has debunked the report of planning to collapse it’s structure for the All Progressives Congress or the Peoples Democratic Party ahead of the October 10 election.

The party in a statement released through its spokesperson, Felix Olatunde, said the report was planned and circulated by opposition elements due to its popularity and its candidate.

He further stated that the leaders of the party and members are behind its governorship candidate, Agboola Ajayi.

Olatunde added that the national leader of the party and former governor of the state, Olusegun Mimiko is still supporting the candidacy of Ajayi.

“For the umpteenth time, the Zenith Labour Party wishes to state that our leader, Dr Olusegun Mimiko, is busy working to rally local and national support for our party and our candidate, Agboola Ajayi.”

“He (Mimiko) will not succumb to any pressure, real or imagined, to support any other candidate, as reported in one of the national dailies.”

“We welcome all who may wish to join us to work for the election of Agboola Ajayi as governor of Ondo State.”

“We restate the above as a result of the consistent falsehood being pushed into the media to weaken our unity and create doubts in the hearts of the electorate. We, in particular, say that the story in the national newspaper is false in its entirety.”

“Again, Mimiko is working to rally local and national support for our candidate, who obviously has become the strongest to oust the underperforming government of Rotimi Akeredolu,” the statement added.
