In a statement to THE PUNCH, signed by his Special Assistant on Media and Strategy Lanre Anjolaiya, Pedro and the national leadership of the APC were said to share a mutual desire to see Nigeria become great again.
It read, "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.
"Pedro is convinced, beyond any shadow of doubt, that the APC offers that veritable platform to put Nigeria back along the path of glory and prosperity. For this reason, I am delighted to announce that Pedro has formally declared for the APC.
"He left the PDP with his teeming supporters and party stalwarts across the South West to partner with the party of the progressives – APC – towards the attainment of these noble objectives."
Anjolaiya described the task of nation building as one though that came with challenges and at great personal costs, must be fulfilled by genuine patriots.
