Abiodun hails Ogun APC’s peaceful ward congresses

Ogun State Governor Dapo Abiodun praised the peaceful conduct of the All Progressives Congress ward congresses across the state, highlighting the commitment to internal democracy and unity within the party.

Ogun State Governor Dapo Abiodun has commended the All Progressives Congress (APC) for conducting peaceful ward congresses across all 20 local government areas in the state. Speaking from Ward 3 in Iperu, he acknowledged the orderly conduct of party members during the exercise, emphasizing its importance for the promotion of internal democracy within the party. This exercise comes in light of the national convention timetable set forth by the APC's National Working Committee, which outlines forthcoming activities leading up to the national convention scheduled for next month.

Governor Abiodun's remarks reflect a sentiment of unity and maturity among party supporters as he appreciated the calmness that marked the congresses. He pointed out the contributions made by the previous ward executives, lauding their leadership and how it has bolstered the party's grassroots presence. This positive atmosphere, according to him, is essential for the growth and cohesion within the party as they prepare for the upcoming national convention.

In his speech, Abiodun expressed the understanding that not every member could emerge victorious during the congresses, indicating a recognition of the competitive nature of party politics. His emphasis on teamwork and collaboration as a pathway for strengthening the party was evident, suggesting a concerted effort towards building a more united APC in Ogun State as they gear up for future political challenges.
