The Action Democratic Party (ADP) has said that it is ready to accept embattled Edo state governor, Goodwin Obaseki, should he choose to cross carpet to the party.
The National Publicity Secretary of the ADP, Mr Adelaja Adeoye, disclosed this during an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Lagos.
Recall that yesterday, Obaseki had been disqualified by the National Working Committee of the APC from the primary elections.
Speaking, the ADP National Publicity Secretary said, “Yes, if Obaseki decides to join ADP today, the party will welcome him with open arms. The party runs an open-door policy. So we will gladly receive him.

“He is the sitting governor so we may give him some waivers and will accord him all the respect as the occupier of the number one office in the state.
“However, we will expect the governor to follow laid- down rules and abide by the principles of the party should he decide to join us to seek our ticket.
“We will also expect him to slug it out with governorship aspirants in the party to get the ticket. He will definitely enjoy some privileges as a sitting governor. We will accord him all the respect.”
