Balogun said the unceasing movements into the party before and after the 2019 elections meant APC was the only party in the state.

Balogun said the interventionist strides of Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu since he assumed office in May had endeared his administration and the APC to residents.

He said the governor was working hard to improve infrastructure , solve traffic challenges ,address environmental issues and responding to other developmental issues in the state.

”The governor just flagged off the final phase of the Lagos light rail project so that on copletion, movement of people and goods could be eased in the state,” he said.

Balogun congratulated the defectors for joining the APC ,saying they had made the right decision by joining the party.

Speaking ,Moyosore said his father could not attend the reception as he was indisposed .

“We are happy to be here; we feel at home, we will do our best to add value to the party and take it to greater heights,” he said.
