APC UK’s Congress to Hold Saturday in London
he United Kingdom (UK) chapter of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) is set to hold its congress on Saturday in London.
The chairman of the chapter, Dr. Tunde Doherty, announced this while addressing reporters yesterday in Abuja after a group of the candidates picked their Expression of Interest Forms from the party’s national secretariat.
Doherty said the election aims to strengthen the party ahead of Nigeria’s next general election in 2027.
The chairman said the APC UK chapter had been strong in mobilising for the party, adding that it would continue to work hard for the development of the party and the country.
He said: “The APC UK is a vibrant chapter of our great party and has been led over the years by great men and women of honour. It has participated in campaigns of the party all over the world, especially during the last general election in Nigeria, which ushered in our dear President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
“The congress of the APC UK comes up this Saturday, January 13, 2024. Some of us will be heading back tonight to continue with our campaigns amongst our members. The campaigns so far have taken us across the length and breadth of the UK.
“Just last, we toured the UK midlands; we were in Leicester, Birmingham, and Walsall.”
Doherty stressed the need for the country to embrace Diaspora voting, saying the numerous Nigerians abroad had made a lot of remittances that impacted the national economy.
The APC chieftain enjoined Nigerians not to be despondent over the rising cost of living in the country.
He said President Bola Tinubu had started putting measures in place to strengthen the economy.
