Akure—THE opposition All Progressives Congress, APC, in Ondo State has accused the state government of arm-twisting members of the state assembly to defect along with Governor Olusegun Mimiko from the Labour Party, LP, to the Peoples’ Democratic Party, PDP.

Chairman of the Party, Isaac Kekemeke, had alleged that the state governor, Dr. Olusegun Mimiko threatened to declare the seat of any member of the House of Assembly who failed to defect with him to the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, vacant.

Kekemeke said: “ A good number of the lawmakers have shown their intention to join the APC but were hindered by the threat from the governor to declare their seat vacant if they join the party.”
