Mimiko, who became governor on the platform of LP, recently defected to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and his former party wants him to take the same path he insisted that Senator Ajayi Boroffice should take two years ago.
Senator Boroffice, who was elected as a Senator on the platform of LP defected to the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) and Mimiko was said to have advised the party to take the senator to court in order to force him to resign.
The party’s National Working Committee (NWC), rising from a meeting in Abuja on Wednesday, issued a statement asking Mimiko to “take the path of honour”.
Part of the statement issued by the LP National Publicity Secretary, Ikpe Etokudo, reads: “The NWC came to the inevitable conclusion that the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and the provisions of the relevant sections of the electoral laws must be respected by Dr. Olusegun Mimiko and his new party – the PDP.
“The case of Dr. Boroffice who was elected as a Senator on the platform of our party but defected to the All Progressives Congress (APC) was cited.”
Mimiko and the PDP were advised “to take the path of honour immediately or should expect to defend their deliberate raping of the constitution of the country within next 21 days in court as well as be ready to face the wrath of workers of Ondo State in particular and the nation in general”.
