Mimiko emerged through affirmation at the primary election held at the party’s secretariat in Akure, the state capital.
After his emergence, Mimiko addressed party members, pledging to prioritize education, health, economy, and security if elected as the next governor of Ondo State.
“We are a force to be reckoned with in this election. We will ensure food security; within a year of our being in office, we will have a surplus of food in Ondo State. We will ensure affordable quality education, industrialization, housing, and free health services for all residents are part of our programs,” Mimiko said.
