Africa Press-Nigeria:
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Ondo State said it would gladly receive embattled Ondo Deputy Governor Ajayi Agboola into its fold.
It however said there was no automatic ticket for the Deputy Governor.
There were reports at the weekend that some Governors have brokered a deal with Agboola with a view to fielding him as candidate of the PDP against Governor Oluwarotimi Akeredolu.
Some sources said the deal was sealed by the National Working Committee of the PDP and facilitated by two PDP governors (from North west and south south respectively).
But the Ondo chapter of the PDP, in a statement by its Publicity Secretary, Mr. Zadok Akintoye, assured all PDP governorship aspirants the party does not have a preferred candidate and would ensure level playing field to all aspirants or intending aspirant.
