“We’re comfortable that you’ve made the decision to join the progressive train today and we assure you that we’ll do our best to make you feel at home.

“Even as you’re just joining us, we have now accepted you as part and parcel of the APC and we will not discriminate against you.

“I assure you, you’ll not regret becoming a member of the APC. We will work collectively like brothers and sisters to make sure that APC is greater than what it is in the state,” he said.

Balogun implored the new members to show commitment and give their best in order to ensure victory for the APC in 2019 general elections.
