Former Lagos State Deputy Governor, Femi Pedro and Chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has joined the All Progressives Congress (APC).
A statement Sunday night by his Special Adviser Media, Lanre Anjolaiya , said Pedro took the decision after series of discussions with the National leadership of APC with whom he shared the desire to see Nigeria become great again.
“ Otunba Pedro is convinced, beyond any shadow of doubt, that the APC offers that veritable platform to put Nigeria back along the path of glory and prosperity. For this reason, I am delighted to announce that Otunba Femi Pedro has formally declared for the APC.
“ He left the PDP with his teeming supporters and party stalwarts across the Southwest to partner with the party of the progressives – APC – towards the attainment of these noble objectives.
“ The former Deputy Governor of Lagos is irrevocably committed to help actualize the task of building democratic and institutional standards that are not only responsive and accountable to the people, but one that signpost what an APC-led Federal Government promises as from 2015.
“ The landmark achievements and performances of the progressive governors and legislators in the APC-controlled States bear eloquent testimony to the tenacity of purpose of the party’s leadership.
“ Our dear country, more than ever before, is in dire need of purposeful leadership committed to leading us out of the woods; and one for which all men of good conscience must join hands. The task of nation building no doubt comes with challenges and always at great personal costs; yet it must be fulfilled by genuine patriots” Anjolaiya said in the statement.
