Former LP House of Reps Candidate, Olanrewaju George, Defects To APC
Hon Olanrewaju George, who was a House of Representatives candidate of the Labour Party in the 2023 general elections has defected to the All Progressives Congress, APC.
George disclosed this in a letter to the APC Chairman of Ward 4, Sagamu Local Government, Ogun state on Monday when he officially joined the APC with his team and key supporters.
The former candidate who expressed confidence in the party’s vision, described the All Progressives Congress as the right platform to drive development for the people.
He also pledged loyalty to the party and said that he is committed to its growth and unity.
He further restated his readiness to collaborate with party leaders and participate actively in its activities to strengthen its structure and electoral prospects.
“This decision marks a new chapter in our political journey. We are dedicated to working with the APC to achieve success and good governance,” he stated.
George, who is said to be the Aare Tayese of Ikenne, said youth inclusion, provision of basic infrastructures and quality representatives were reasons why he re-joined the APC.
He said, “When you look around, you see the hopelessness on the faces of our youths from years of neglect by their elected representatives. When you look around, you can see that our people lack the basic amenities to make their lives easier.
“Everywhere you look, you see the glaring need for quality representation and APC is bridging the gap in these areas.”
Didactic Information Hut recalls that George contested the Remo Federal Constituency seat in the House of Representatives in 2023 but lost.
