“APC Is the Right Platform to Drive Development” – Ex-LP House of Reps Candidate

Businessman and philanthropist Olanrewaju George has officially joined the All Progressives Congress (APC), declaring it the right platform to drive development for the people.

George made this known in a letter to the APC Chairman of Ward 4, Sagamu Local Government, Ogun State, on Monday. Announcing his defection from the Labour Party (LP) alongside his team and key supporters, he expressed confidence in the APC’s vision and leadership.

Pledging his loyalty to the party, George emphasized his commitment to its growth and unity. He also stated his readiness to work closely with party leaders and actively participate in strengthening the party’s 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 said.

George, who holds the title of Aare Tayese of Ikenne, highlighted youth inclusion, infrastructure development, and quality representation as key reasons for his return to the APC. He noted the urgent need to address the challenges facing young people and communities.

“When you look around, you see the hopelessness on the faces of our youths from years of neglect by their elected representatives. You also see the lack of basic amenities that should make life easier. There is a glaring need for quality representation, and the APC is bridging that gap,” he said.

George previously contested the Remo Federal Constituency seat in the House of Representatives in 2023.
