The United Kingdom chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has expressed its support for President Bola Tinubu’s bid for a second term in 2027 and also endorsed Senator Ajibola Basiru, the party’s national secretary, for the 2026 Osun State governorship election.
A statement signed by the APC UK secretary, Dr. Momoh Obaro, on behalf of the chapter’s chairman, Hon. Tunde Doherty, revealed that during a dinner held on Sunday night, the chapter presented two letters to the APC national chairman, Dr. Abdulahi Ganduje. Senator Basiru, representing the national chairman, received the letters.
One of the letters called on President Tinubu “to seek a second term in office,” while the other expressed “a vote of confidence in the National Working Committee (NWC) of the APC.”
“We commend the president for his ongoing efforts in national development and governance. The Renewed Hope Agenda is working, we believe in it, and we are very positive that Nigeria is already on a path of progress and national recovery.”
“We also pledged support for Senator Ajibola Basiru’s aspiration to govern Osun State. We are hopeful and pray for the realisation and success in fulfilling the ambition.”
The letters were officially received by Senator Basiru in the company of senior party officials including the National Legal Adviser, Prof Abdulkareem Abubakar Kana, Chief of Staff to the national chairman, Mallam Muhammed Garba, and Professor Ademola Abass, director of administration at the progressive institute.
Senator Basiru expressed his gratitude, saying he “appreciated the APC UK chapter’s political engagement, unwavering dedication, integrity, commitment, and support for the President and the party’s progress, both in the United Kingdom and Nigeria.”
