Former Ondo State governor, Olusegun Mimiko, is reportedly set to join the ruling All Progressives Congress following weeks of political speculation after his resignation from the PDP.
Although no formal public declaration has yet been made by Mimiko himself, reports and political insiders say discussions with APC leaders have been concluded, signaling a major political realignment ahead of the 2027 elections.
The development comes weeks after the former governor officially resigned from the Peoples Democratic Party, citing “personal reasons” and distancing himself from party activities.
Mimiko, widely regarded as one of the most influential political figures in Ondo State politics, governed the state between 2009 and 2017 and remains a strong force, especially in Ondo Central. His possible move to the APC is already generating intense reactions across the political landscape, with analysts describing it as a major boost for the ruling party in Ondo State.
Political observers believe the move could reshape alliances in the state and strengthen the APC’s structure ahead of future elections.
