It is heartening to see leaders who are passionate about the state’s progress reunite for the greater good,” Governor Sanwo-Olu stated.
“We look forward to meaningful collaboration as we continue working to deliver the dividends of democracy to the people of Lagos.”
The governor emphasized that the APC remains committed to accommodating diverse voices and talents within its fold.
Meanwhile, Adediran appreciated the governor for his magnanimity and candour in politics and governance.
He assured him of the total support of the Lagos4Lagos Movement to actualize the re-election of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to ensure that his well-intended reform programmes are sustained.
