BY DAYO JOHNSON<\/p>\n

AKURE\u2014 GOVERNOR Olusegun Mimiko of Ondo State has\u00a0 denied media reports that he nominated a member of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, to President Goodluck Jonathan for consideration as minister even as he pleaded that he be left out of issues pertaining to the PDP.<\/p>\n

Governor Mimiko was quoted as having nominated one Mrs. Omobola Olubusola Johnson for the President to be considered as minister, saying that he never nominated the woman who he described as a total stranger to him.<\/p>\n

But in a statement by his Chief Press Secretary, Mr. Kolawole Olabisi, on Tuesday, Governor Mimiko stated: \u201cI want to place it on records for the umpteenth time that I am a member of the Labour Party, LP, and that I have not and would not go to the PDP; so it would be tantamount to disservice, and pure mischief for anybody to say that I would be nominating a supposedly PDP member for consideration as an aide to a PDP-led government.<\/p>\n

In the first place, the woman in question is unknown to me, she is not a member of LP and I do not belong to PDP so it would be wrong to insinuate\u00a0 that I nominated her for Mr. President to be considered as a minister or for whatever position.<\/p>\n

And neither had Mr. President spoken to me about the issued as was stated in the media report.
He, therefore, enjoined that he be spared insinuations that he was behind schemes for the woes of the PDP in the State.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
