The Diaspora Chairmen’s Forum of the APC has commended the party’s leadership for including its members in the planning committee of the national convention of the party, slated for May 14.
The APC is to hold its national convention to elect new leaders for the party, ahead of the 2019 general elections.
The Spokesman of the forum, Lawal Ayoola, told the News Agency of Nigeria on telephone from Gothenburg, Sweden on Thursday that the forum was delighted to be part of the 63-member planning committee.
Ayoola said: “It is a welcome development and a great indication that the party’s leadership is ready to further strengthen its wide spread base and tap into the wealth of experiences of its members in the Diaspora.
“The party’s inclusion of two chapters to represent the 12 accredited Diaspora chapters in organising the forth coming national convention is a timely and appropriate decision because the Diaspora members of the party are eager to contribute to the success of the convention.”
Ayoola said that Diaspora members desired to play active roles in reinforcing the APC’s greatness, having been committed to the party’s cause since inception.
He said that the decision would inspire and encourage existing and potential members of the party across the globe to be more committed to fortifying the party’s growth and development.
He said: “This, we hope will put to rest the illegal activities of the imposters that are parading themselves as recognised chapters in different Diaspora countries.
“We wish the leadership and entire organising committee a successful event.”
