"When did Dimeji Bankole join APC that he wants to run for presidency under the party"?
First off, there's no stipulated duration to this effect. Secondly, he's by all means qualified to run like every other candidate. But if you're so concerned about the time he joined,
/1
I make bold to say he is as much an APC member like any other member that joined before him.
Here's why:
A number of parties came together to form the All Progressives Congress to wit; CPC, ANPP, ACN & a faction of APGA. ANPP (formerly APP), founded by prominent political

heavyweights - Chief Alani Bankole (Dimeji's Father), Vice-Presidential candidate; Alh. Umaru Shinkafi (grandfather to Dimeji's wife) and many others, formed a big part of the APC. His father was also acting National Chairman of the ANNP. Chief Alani Bankole and

Alh. Umaru Shikafi’s relationship dated back to their days as members of the NCNC & NPN.
Dimeji himself was a member of the All Peoples Party (ANPP). In fact, his adoption as Speaker of the HOR was first made by members of the ANPP who held seats at the green chamber,

at the time.
It's evident that his affiliation to the All Progressive Party (APC) preceded his official declaration as a member of the APC. To buttress this point, the Ogun State Chairman of APC, Yemi Sanusi described Bankole’s defection to APC "as homecoming, saying his

former party, was one of the legacy parties that formed the APC."
Dimeji Bankole is certainly an asset to the party and will represent the party as a worthy Presidential Aspirant.

People who are myopic will come on social media and be asking who is Dimeji Bankole like they're secondary school student when in fact they can stop watching entertainment news and focus on watching the news that actually shapes the spherical coordinates of Nigeria.

It’s the fact that people have a picture painted in their mind; some sort of blueprint that they believe people need to follow before they can be called politicians or be recognized as one.
Thank goodness there’s evidence. Dimeji Bankole is certified; that’s all that matters.

@Konks4real
If a candidate decides to run for the office of the president under any political party and he meets the requirements, he is therefore fit to do so.
In the case of Rt Hon. Dimeji Bankole, his track records and his image as a Nationalist puts him in pole position for the seat.
