The former Governor of Ondo State, Bamidele Olumilua, would be chairman at the event  while the Chief Press Secretary to the Ondo State Governor, Eni Akinsola, will deliver a lecture on the topic, “The Man Mimiko.

The Director General of the group, Mr Kayode Ajulo, who disclosed the plan of the youths at a news  briefing in Akure, the Ondo State capital, said the congress is to inaugurate the state and local government executives of the organisation.

He said the Orange Network Movement was founded on the  political ideology and philosophy of Mimiko.
