Breaking: Mimiko declares presidential bid

Olusegun Mimiko, the former governor of Ondo state, is set to announce his decision to contest the 2019 presidency on the platform of the Labour Party (LP), Daily Trust reports.

His official declaration is billed for 10:00am on Thursday, September 13, at the party’s headquarter.

Mimiko dumped the Labour Party less than five months before the 2015 general elections, to the PDP.

The former governor revealed the two things Nigeria needs to sustain its unity. Mimiko was quoted as saying the two things needed by the country are perseverance and determination from the people.
