ACN NATIONAL CONVENTION 2013
On Thursday, 18th April, 2013, The Action Congress of Nigeria held its last National Convention to deliberate on the State of the nation and to make salient resolutions on the way forward. Not fewer than 4,761 delegates from across the entire 36 States of the federation including those from Federal Capital Territory (FCT) attended the Convention. A major landmark of this historic ACN convention was the decision to adopt the new merger opposition party, the All Progressives Congress (APC), thereby changing the identity of ACN to APC. With this decision, the ACN leaders had demonstrated their commitment to the merger and had led by example by adopting the APC. It is understood that the All Nigeria Peoples Party (ANPP) and Congress for Progressive Change (CPC) shall be holding their own convention in May this year to adopt the APC. Some of the ACN leaders at the Convention were Chief Bisi Akande, National Chairman, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, National leader, ACN, Chief Tony Momoh, Chief Achilike Udenwa, former Governor of Imo State, Senator George Akume, former Governor of Benue State, Hon. Uche Onyeagocha, Chief Olusesgun Osoba, Chief Niyi Adebayo and Governors Babatunde Fashola, Adams Oshiomhole, Ibikunle Amosun, Abiola Ajimobi, Dr Kayode Fayemi, Rochas Okorocha and Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola of Lagos, Edo, Ogun, Oyo, Ekiti, Imo and Osun States respectively. Also at the event were General Mohammed Buhari, Nuhu Ribadu, Chief (Mrs) Kemi Nelson and Lolo Queen.
