The Edo North Senator, Adams Oshiomhole has warned those planning to defect from the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, to the All Progressives Congress, APC, that the days of playing both sides are over.

“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, you want to jump camp? No stay with him because we don’t want people that stay on the fence.”


The Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, had declared Monday Okpebholo of the All Progressives Congress, APC, winner of Saturday’s governorship election.
