George explained that their move to the APC is a commitment to collaborate with President Tinubu in fulfilling the expectations of Nigerians. He emphasized their dedication to supporting the ‘Renewed Hope Agenda’ and working closely with the President to ensure the realization of national aspirations.
He stated, “We have crossed that rubicon. We moved to the APC. I told you the other day that we cannot continue because of the division in our party. We voted for the President and if the President is worthy of our votes, then, he should be worthy of our support. We have moved over to support the ‘Renewed Hope Agenda.’ We will work hand in gloves with him to make sure that the expectation of Nigerians is fulfilled. So, we moved to the APC and we are working with the President. We have crossed the rubicon, and there is no going back for us.”
