Oyo APC commends members, committees for peaceful ward congress

The All Progressives Congress in Oyo State praised its members and committees for the peaceful and successful conduct of its ward congresses.

The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Oyo State has recognized the dedication and commitment of its members and various stakeholders for ensuring a smooth ward congress process. Publicity Secretary Olawale Sadare attributed the successful execution of the congress to the ability and diligence of the Congress Committees sent by the national headquarters of the party. This nationwide organizational effort emphasized the importance of grassroots management for the party's future activities.

On Wednesday, the APC initiated its nationwide congresses, starting at the ward level, which are critical in establishing executive committees responsible for local party affairs for the next four years. These committees will play a significant role in governing party activities at the grassroots and maintaining relations with community members. The peaceful nature of the congress, which affected all 351 wards in Oyo State, was reported to be in large part due to the consensus approach adopted by the party's leadership.

Sadare’s statement highlighting the success of this congress underlines the unity within the party, indicating that such harmony could be beneficial for future electoral endeavors. The ability to conduct peaceful and organized congresses is seen as crucial in setting a solid foundation for the APC as they strategize for upcoming elections and enhance their grassroots presence in Oyo State. This development reflects broader trends in political organizations in Nigeria focused on strengthening local governance structures as a means of increasing political influence.
