Former Minister of Works, Adeseye Ogunlewe, on Monday warned the National Leader of Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN), Bola Tinubu, to have a rethink on the on-going merger of opposition parties because the other regions will only use and dump him.

Speaking in an exclusive interview with Daily Independent at his residence, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) chieftain said the same fate that befell the late Obafemi Awolowo, when he merged with the opposition parties, will soon befall ACN and Tinubu in no distant time.

“How many times did Awolowo merge with them, at the end what happened? If it is a question of merger, working arrangement, all the other zones will deceive the South West.
