The state governor, Rotimi Akeredolu while receiving the defectors at the MKO Abiola Democracy Park, Akure stated that the ruling All Progressive Congress(APC) does not discriminate against people who intend to join the party.
“We do not discriminate against new members. As a testimony, both the number two and three, that is, the deputy governor and the Speaker, were not originally members of the APC. But here they are today. It is possible for all those who are coming on board to reach their heights destined by God and no man can stop it.
“With this new calibre of people today coming to the APC, it means we are moving forward and I know that Adams Oshiomhole, our national chairman, will be happy as well.”
