APC state chairmen move to strengthen grassroots structures

State chairmen of Nigeria's All Progressives Congress (APC) have convened in Lagos for a critical three-day meeting focused on bolstering the party's grassroots foundations and strategizing for the upcoming 2027 general elections.

The gathering, hosted by Lagos State APC Chairman Pastor Cornelius Ojelabi, is designed to consolidate the party's structures across the nation and enhance internal cohesion. Ojelabi described the event as more than a social occasion, emphasizing its role in celebrating shared history, deepening collaboration among state leaders, and reaffirming the APC's core principles.

He highlighted the vital responsibility of state chairmen, stating, "We are custodians of the party’s structures. We are builders of consensus. We are promoters of internal harmony. We are the bridge between our national leadership and millions of committed members across the wards and local governments of Nigeria." Ojelabi stressed that their duties extend beyond electioneering to mentoring new leaders, fostering internal democracy, and maintaining public trust.

The forum also pledged continued support for the APC National Working Committee, led by National Chairman Professor Nentawe Yilwatda. The meeting underscores the APC's commitment to grassroots engagement as a cornerstone for sustained success, particularly in light of the upcoming electoral cycle.
