The Labour Party, LP, has
expressed readiness to welcome the immediate past governor of Ondo state, Dr.
Olusegun Mimiko to the party he helped nurture, but was quick to add that the
party’s “rules of engagement have since changed with our new leadership”.
LP’s national chairman, Dr. Mike
Omotoso, stated this in a statement on Tuesday, while
reacting to an earlier move by a group condemning the return of Mimiko to
Labour Party.
The national chairman stated that
the former governor’s “coming will be a worthwhile addition to this party
especially at this time” as he is “a well experienced politician whose sagacity
will contribute to the growth of Labour Party”.
Omotosho went on to say, “Though
rules of engagement have since changed with our new leadership, we are resolute
about building a well structured party where the generality of the people, not
few individuals, have the way.
“We made a solemn promise to
return this party to the masses who truly own it and that we shall make happen.
Irrespective of who knocks on our door, our ideologies cannot be compromised, our
resolve for best practices, internal democracy and rule of law is sacrosanct.
“While appealing to individuals
and aggrieved members to eschew acrimony and embrace peace across board, I
assure all, again, that the mandate freely given to me at the October 3rd
Special National Convention shall be upheld for the success of the party. You
have given us the mandate, we shall give you the victory.”
The statement commended all loyal
party members across the country for standing firm, as it added that they are
the reason the Labour Party “has not been confined to the dustbin of history in
spite of past dealings that only promote the interests of a very few minority”.
