Five thousand members of the Lagos4Lagos Movement has rejoined the All Progressive Congress (APC) in Lagos state.
Deputy Governor Obafemi Hamzat, who received the defectors, said: ‘It is possible for anyone to be misled but it would be foolishness to continue in the wrong direction after discovering the right path.”
Hamzat added that the defectors have done well by retracing their steps and taking the right decision saying they can never regret doing that.
He handed over APC flags to the defectors, hailed them and asked them to remain loyal.
He added: “The state is moving in the right direction. This is the right decision. Asiwaju Bola Tinubu has an eye of talent and the ability to manage people. This is the time for us to vote for someone who knows the way. It is good you retraced yourselves back. I must tell you that you have made the right decision.
“It is people who make towns, cities and countries great. I am excited that you have seen the reason to support Asiwaju.”
State Chairman Cornelius Ojelabi thanked the defectors for finding it necessary to be part of the progressives’ family.”
The Lagos4Lagos Movement joined forces with Jandor to clamour for a true Lagosian to be governor of Lagos state.
However, Jandor has since defected to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and already emerged the gubernatorial candidate in Lagos state ahead of the 2023 general elections.
