Highlights from the APC UK Chapter Congress in London

In a monumental stride toward party unification, the highly anticipated APC UK Chapter Congress transpired on Saturday, 13th January 2024. With an unequivocal commitment to mending factional divides, Congress facilitated increased participation, symbolizing a resolute step towards inclusivity in the political discourse.

Esteemed luminaries helmed the Congress team, headed by the erudite Distinguished Senator Ajibola Basiru, National Secretary of the Party. Joining him were Barrister Sir Festus Faunter, the Deputy National Secretary, Chief Niyi Akinsiju, Special Adviser to the National Chairman, and Mallam Tasiu Mohammed, Deputy Director of Organization in charge of Election Matters.

This non-elective congress impeccably fulfilled the prerequisites, mandating the establishment of an interim committee tasked with shepherding the electoral process within the forthcoming six months. Comprising 22 distinguished individuals, the committee will be led by a Chairman and Secretary, strictly adhering to the meticulously outlined terms of reference set forth by the National Working Committee (NWC).

In an exemplary display of accountability, the NWC took ownership of any procedural gaps, extending sincere apologies to the esteemed Congress delegates, vigilant observers, and dedicated members in attendance. Honorably, the NWC appointed Hon Tunde Doherty as the Chairman of the Committee, with Hon J K Adebola assuming the pivotal role of Secretary. The resolution garnered unanimous approval through a voice vote, echoing the collective determination toward a harmonized and robust electoral future.

This puts an end to all sort of misconceptions and disagreement within the APC UK Chapter as reiterated by distinguished Senator Ajibola Baṣiru.
