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