Mimiko stated this on Thursday after some PDP governors visited him at his residence in Ondo state.

“They have come, as usual. They have tried to convince us why we should come and join forces with them in PDP for the efforts they are making in repositioning politics in Nigeria.

“We have listened to them; we will go back to our stakeholders’ meeting because it is them that will decide before we jointly take our decision on it,” he said.
