Akure \u2014 Ondo State Governor, Olusegun Mimiko, on Tuesday denied reports in some section of the media 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 PDP.<\/p>\n

Mimiko was quoted as having nominated one Mrs. Omobola Olubusola Johnson for the President to consider as Minister, he said he never nominated the woman, who he described as a total stranger to him.<\/p>\n

In a press statement issued by his Chief Press Secretary, Kolawole Olabisi, in Akure on Tuesday, Mimiko stated: “I want to place it on record for the umpteenth time that I am a member of the Labour Party (LP) and that I have not and will 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 with glee as the media report had it that I nominated her for Mr. President to be considered as a Minister or for whatever position. And neither had Mr. President spoken to me about the issue as was stated in the media report”.<\/p>\n

He, therefore, enjoined that he be spared insinuations that he was behind the woes of the PDP in the state.<\/p>\n
