Former Governor of Edo State, Adams Oshiomhole, has cautioned individuals considering leaving the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for the All Progressives Congress (APC), stating that the era of manipulating both parties is at an end.
The lawmaker representing the Edo North senatorial district made these remarks following the recently concluded governorship election in Edo State.
Oshiomhole, who was addressing a gathering of individuals in a video clip seen online, urged those considering a switch to APC to remain loyal to PDP and its governorship candidate in the September 21 election, Asue Ighodalo.
According to Oshiomhole: “You can’t be with Asue Ighodalo and expect to eat, celebrate here. The days are gone when you play two sides.
“Go with your artificial intelligence while we stay without native and organic intelligence so we can’t be fooled again. You’ve lost.
“You bolt, and after the election, do you want to jump camp? No stay with him because we don’t want people that stay on the fence.”
Naija News reports that the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) had declared Monday Okpebholo of the All Progressives Congress, APC, winner of Saturday’s governorship election.
Results from INEC said Okpebholo got 291,667 votes, and Asue Ighodalo of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, scored 247,274 votes, while LP’s governorship candidate, Olumide Akpata polled 22,763 votes to emerge third.
