The National Chairman of Labour Party, Dr. Mike Omotoso has expressed readiness to welcome former Governor of Ondo state, Dr. Olusegun Mimiko back to the party on the condition that he observes the new rules of engagement adopted after his departure.
Omotoso stated this in a correspondence to newsmen on Tuesday. He said his statement was in reaction to an earlier move by a group condemning the return of Mimiko to Labour Party. He assured that his return to the party would be a worthwhile addition to this party especially at this time as he is “a well experienced politician whose sagacity will contribute to the growth of Labour Party”.
“Though rules of engagement have since changed with our new leadership, we are resolute about building a well structured party where the generality of the people, not few individuals, have the way.
“We made a solemn promise to return this party to the masses who truly own it and that we shall make happen. Irrespective of who knocks on our door, our ideologies cannot be compromised, our resolve for best practices, internal democracy and rule of law is sacrosanct.
“While appealing to individuals and aggrieved members to eschew acrimony and embrace peace across board, I assure all, again, that the mandate freely given to me at the October 3rd Special National Convention shall be upheld for the success of the party. You have given us the mandate, we shall give you the victory.”
