The National Chairman, All Progressives Congress (APC), Abdullahi Ganduje, has affirmed the authenticity of Tunde Doherty-led executive of the APC in the United Kingdom.
He made the assertion at a meeting he held with members of the APC UK Executive at the party’s national secretariat in Abuja, amid rumours that the diaspora chapters of APC had not been recognised in the party’s constitution.
Ganduje said the only authentic APC’s representative in the UK and the broader diaspora is the one under Tunde Doherty, insisting that no amount of blackmail or information could undermine the choice of the national leadership of the party.
He congratulated the newly elected members of the APC UK Executive on the successful completion of the party congress that was supervised by the National Secretary of the party, Senator Dr Ajibola Basiru, underscoring the national party’s support. Ganduje commended the calibre of the people elected as members of the APC UK executive, describing them as serious and dedicated leaders that align with the party’s vision and committed to the progress of the party.
The APC national chairman also gave the assurances that APC UK leadership would be given the best opportunity to participate in both the party and the government engagements, even as he emphasised the importance of their respective contributions to the progress of the party.
“This is the authentic representative of the APC UK. I know that you are all committed to the progress of our party and I want to assure you all of the support of the national leadership of our party.”
In his remarks, Doherty expressed appreciation to the national leadership of the party. He noted that the APC under Ganduje had demonstrated the best pattern of leadership that is devoid of rancour and political wrangling.
