A Chieftain of Peoples Democratic Party, Chief Abiodun Ogunremi on Friday said the clamour for the realization of Egba indigene to occupy the number one seat in Ogun State is an aberration, saying that PDP has nothing like that in its agenda.
Ogunremi who is the Deputy State Chairman of PDP in the State and joined by other leaders from the Ogun Central Senatorial District said the Party believes in the emergence of the best candidates from any part of the State.
