The All Progressives Congress, APC, in the United Kingdom has announced, April 1, 2023 as the date for its congress.
Members of the APC UK Interim National Working Committee, made the announcement while briefing journalists at the Party headquarters in Abuja, on Monday.
Speaking on behalf of the commitee, Dr Mustapha Abdullahi who noted that the congress is already well publicised online as statutory by law urged the public to dismiss contrary information regarding the same congress on social media.
He said the Nigerian high commissioner in London will be attending the Congress alongside many other dignitaries.
He urged the party to send representatives to be part of the congress.
Abdullahi said “We are here as APC UK interim National Working Committee as strengthened and as empowered by the party. About four, five months ago, we were given the mandate by the party to conduct congress. That mandate is the reason why we have gone ahead to set up a framework. We have a commitee that is looking at the venue and the guidelines for the congress. We’ve developed that and we’ve submitted it about a month ago to the party to look at it and to also give us the approval inline with the party constitution.
“Why we are here specifically is to inform them that we have a date for that congress which is the 1st of April and also to break the news that the Nigerian high commissioner in London is going to be in our midst to grace that occasion.
“We want to assure Nigerians and also our fellow diasporas that everything we are doing will be inline with the party’s constitution and we have also sought for approval as we’ve always done before we proceed with any action”.
