A leader of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Ondo State Bode Obanla has withdrawn his suit challenging the leadership status of ex-governor Olusegun Mimiko in the party.
He decided to withdraw the suit following the intervention by the party’s Elders Committee and State Working Committee (SWC).
Mr. Obanla had dragged Mr. Mimiko to court to prevent him from assuming the leadership of the party on the ground that he defectedtoLabour Party (LP) and won the governorship poll when his leadership was needed.
He said the former Mimiko
cannot assume leadership status of Ondo PDP in spite of the fact that he is the only former governor in the party.
But the leaders of the party led by Omotayo Dairo appealed to Obanla to withdraw the suit.
