ABOUT US
Know more about us
All Progressives Congress France has been in existence since April 2015 in line with the Party’s guideline through the coming together of the 4 major stakeholders as obtained in APC Nigeria.
In spite of all challenges, we have been alive to our responsibilities of supporting and propagating good policies as well as several achievements working with the Nigeria administration and the Party with events and other several activities.
The APC France chapter under the leadership of the chairman Chief Mohammed Suheed Olasunkanmi Olanrewaju Balogun and the Executive members has over the years succeeded in enlightening Nigerians across the globe with the programs, policies as well as achievements of the past administration of President Muhammadu Buhari through our invited special Guests of Honour like:
As God would have His way, our leader in APC France chapter (including Chief Mohammed Suheed Olasunkanmi Olanrewaju Balogun) are greatly engaged and participating in several political and growth events about Nigeria locally and in the diaspora. They have sustainably paraded all Progressive Congress (APC) all over France and Europe since the establishment of the party chapter in France, since 2015 up to 2023.
This is a huge recognition of the efforts of Nigerians in Diaspora towards the progress and development of Nigeria which, in my view, couldn’t have come at a better time especially with the electioneering campaign in full swing.
