“He is the first to come to us. Many will come. We are going to receive and listen to them as members of APC because at the end of the exercise, we want APC to move as one solid force to deliver in 2023, from the state to the federal. We will welcome everybody. We will talk to them but we know where we are. We know what we are doing and we know where we are going.”
