The National Chairman, Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Prince Uche Secondus, has said that the party would not impose the Ondo State Deputy Governor, Agboola Ajayi, on other aspirants for the gubernatorial ticket of the party.
Ajayi, who dumped the All Progressives Congress (APC) for the PDP on Sunday, has indicated an interest in contesting for the October 10 gubernatorial election in the state on the platform of his new party.
Secondus spoke while receiving the deputy governor and 34 other defectors into the party at the state secretariat in Akure on Monday.
He said the new members would add value to the party and boost its chances in the forthcoming polls.
However, he said there would be no imposition of Ajayi or any other aspirant on party members.

“The APC has damaged the security and the economy of the Nigeria. Everybody has seen that the APC is taking us to nowhere. I believe Ajayi is coming to the PDP to add value and to make difference.
“We in the PDP do believe the constitution of the country and the constitution of our party. We are one family. Ajayi is not coming to alter any rule. There would be free and fair primary. Everybody has equal right in the party. We are not going to impose any aspirant on others because our target is to take over the state,” Secondus said.
