The National Chairman of the Labour Party, Abdulkadir Abdulsalam, says the return of Dr. Olusegun Mimiko has given the Labour Party fresh hope and high confidence. This is contrary to the position of a factional chairman of the party who declared during the week that the former Ondo State governor was not welcome back to the party.
Abdulsalam while delivering his speech at the event officially welcoming Dr Mimiko back to the party, said the Labour Party is elated that a social democrat like Mimiko, who through his sterling performances as Governor mainstreamed pro-people and pro-poor policies, programmes and projects, is returning to add value to the party.
He further said Mimiko people’s oriented programmes in health, education, housing, rural development, urban renewal, youth and women empowerment attest to the value inherent in his return to the party.
“In him, we have an example of what power could be used to achieve on the side of the people” Abdulsalam added.
