TOP notch of the All Progressives Congress (APC) are believed to be wooing a former governor of Ondo State, Dr Olusegun Mimiko, to defect to the party, in a buildup to the 2023 general election. A source within the APC told the Nigerian Tribune that the party was making effort to bring Mimiko on board, to further boost its fold in the march towards the 2023 elections. Nigerian Tribune also gathered that APC leaders might have met with the former governor during his recent visit to Abuja. The media assistant to the former governor, Mr John Paul Akinduro, denied any meeting between APC leaders and Mimiko. He said “though I was in Abuja with him, but I’m not aware of any meeting with any of these APC leaders.
