“He (Daniel) will no doubt add a lot of value to our great party. I have the pleasure of leading my colleagues to receive you (OGD) into APC.”

Akeredolu described Daniel’s defection as homecoming, and called on leaders of APC in the state to come together and build the party stronger.

“And for us in Ogun state, we have no other choice, we have a good governor and we are determined to support him to succeed”.
