Meanwhile, Oshiomhole, urged those considering a switch to APC to remain loyal with their party and its governorship candidate, Ighodalo.
He said: “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.
