CAN OLUSEGUN MIMIKO SURVIVE THE TREND OF RESIGNATON OF HIS CABINET MEMBERS NOW THAT HE NEEDS THEM MOST?

As aides continue to resign under the administration of Governor Mimiko,what does this portray to the entire public at a time when loyalty and allegiance of everyone under him are highly needed. His special Assistant on Project Monitoring to Governor Olusegun Mimiko in Owo Local Government Area, Mr. Femi Idris, yesterday resigned his political appointment from the ruling Labour Party (LP) government. In his
letter of resignation, a copy of which was made available to The Nation said he decided to leave the ruling government in other to save his name from dishonor and shame.

The former Special Assistant described Mimiko’s administration as a government of inhumanity, failure and frustration, adding that he preferred to concentrate on his educational programme rather than associate with the present LP’s government. He noted that it was reasonable for him to quit Mimiko’s government so that his age-long political career will not be rubbished by the various atrocities that have pervaded the government of the state.

The letter, addressed to the Secretary to the State Government reads: “I thank Governor Mimiko for allowing me to serve in his administration. I am compelled at this juncture to resign my appointment with immediate effect. This is to enable me concentrate fully on my educational programme.” It will be recalled that last week Monday, three aides of Governor Mimiko also resigned their appointment from the ruling LP’s administration.
