ABUJA—NATIONAL leadership of Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, yesterday, said Governor Adams Oshiomhole of Edo State, begged to be a member of the party severally, but his request was turned down, just as it urged him to tell Nigerians how many times he begged.
PDP National Publicity Secretary, Chief Olisa Metuh, in a statement, said the Edo State governor, in 2007, contacted the PDP for its gubernatorial ticket to run as governor of the state, but the request was rejected on the ground that if adhered to, the party’s zoning arrangement would be distorted.
