ONDO: Ex-gov Mimiko’s brother, Abbas, emerges as governorship candidate of ZLP

Abbas Mimiko, a brother of Segun Mimiko, former governor of Ondo State, has won the Zenith Labour Party (ZLP) governorship ticket for the state’s November 16 election.

Recall that Segun Mimiko was the state governor from 2009 to 2017. He has since defected to the Labour Party (LP).

The national secretary of the party, Yahaya Wakama, who spoke to newsmen after declaring Abbas winner of the primary election in Akure, the state capital, boasted that ZLP was ready to take over the leadership of the state from the ruling All Progressives Congress (AP).
