PDP will be back in 2019 – Mimiko

Firstclass newsline learnt that the newly-elected Chairman of the
Peoples Democratic Party Governors' Forum, Ondo's Olusegun Mimiko, on
Thursday said that the opposition party would regain power at the
centre come 2019.
Mimiko said the PDP had in fact commenced the process of taking back
power from the All Progressives Congress during the next general
elections.
He said this at the Akure airport during a mini-reception organised
for him on his return from Abuja, where he was voted as the new PDP
governors' chairman on Wednesday.
Mimiko said the governors were determined to give the PDP a new face
as the opposition party, pledging that the party's engagement of the
ruling APC would be robust and offer alternative policy platform and
programmes for the country.
He said the PDP governors had resolved to collectively work
assiduously and excel in governance with a view to re-branding the
party and selling it to all Nigerians.
He said, "We must sustain enthusiasm in our party; and as governors
who have pivotal roles to play in re-branding our party, we must show
in governance term the difference between us and the APC and these are
the challenges ahead of us.
"As opposition party, our engagement will be robust; we must offer
alternative policy platform and programme when we criticise one. We
must show Nigerians that we are a different party. We will not be
abusive in opposing the government and we will praise where it is
worthy of praise and criticise in a very robust manner"
He said that the PDP in Ondo State had reached an appreciable level of
repositioning and that the party was "overwhelmingly" in charge in the
state.
The Speaker of the Ondo State House of Assembly, Jumoke Akindele,
noted at the reception that the emergence of Mimiko as the chairman of
the PDP Governors' Forum was well deserved.
