I have officially left PDP and I\u2019m making plans to join APC. And the intention is just like somebody who is planning his wedding, you don\u2019t just wake up one morning and go to church. You have to do a committee of friends, you have to notify relatives and well-wishers so that they will be there to grace the occasion. So yes, I\u2019m on my way to APC and that is where I have always belonged.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cRemember, we\u2019ve been in APC for eight years and I am sure that my efforts in APC and my support since you are in the media, you all know right from the days of President Buhari for eight years. I left because of differences but I\u2019m back and I think at this time the party is about us coming together as a country to make sure that the country not only survives but that it is on a good trajectory. When that time for politics comes those who are there will do. But I\u2019m fully committed to President Bola Tinubu and in the coming days I will do my official re-entry to APC\u201d.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About Nigeria Follow Africa-Press<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Nigeria.
