Oshiomhole To PDP Defectors: Stay Loyal, Days Of Playing Both Sides Are Over

Adams Oshiomhole, former governor of Edo State, has cautioned individuals planning to leave the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for the All Progressives Congress (APC) to remain loyal to the PDP.

“You can’t be with Asue Ighodalo and expect to eat, celebrate here. The days are gone when you play two sides,” Oshiomhole said. “Go with your artificial intelligence while we stay with native and organic intelligence so we can’t be fooled again. You’ve lost.”

Oshiomhole, who is the lawmaker representing the Edo North senatorial district, made this statement after the governorship election in Edo State.
