Former Lagos State Deputy Governor Femi Pedro yesterday joined the All Progressives Congress (APC).
He said he shared the same desire to improve the lot of Nigerians through the APC.
In a statement by his Special Assistant, Media Strategy, Lanre Anjolaiya, Pedro said: “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. After series of discussions between Otunba Pedro and the national leadership of the APC, it was clear that they mutually share the desire to see Nigeria become great again.
There are indications that a former Deputy Governor of Lagos State, Femi Pedro, has dumped the People Democratic Party for the All Progressives Party.
This was said to be as a result of his alleged reconciliation with the leader of APC, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, our correspondent learnt on Thursday.
Tinubu had last year been accompanied by his wife, Oluremi, to grace the wedding ceremony of Pedro’s son, which coincided with Tinubu’s 60th birthday.
It was gathered that Pedro recently had a secret meeting with Tinubu, Rivers State Governor, Rotimi Amaechi, and the interim National Chairman of APC, Chief Bisi Akande, to finalise his impending move to APC.
