The APC party has disowned a gathering planned for 28 November 2026 at the Royal Torino Hotel in Italy, which its leadership had not authorised. In a statement signed by Prince Chima Ibezim, chairman of the Italian chapter, the party asks members not to attend, according to Vanguard.
The Italian chapter of the Nigerian All Progressives Congress (APC) has distanced itself from an event announced in its name in Turin, on 28 November 2026, at the Royal Torino Hotel. In a statement signed by its chairman, Ambassador Prince Chima Ibezim, a member of the party’s diaspora directorate of the Presidential Campaign Council, the chapter says that neither the Italian nor the Nigerian leadership approved the meeting or was informed of its organisation.
The chapter contacted the hotel, which told it that no booking had been made for that date. It asks members and supporters in Italy and the diaspora to ignore the invitation and not to attend any gathering that has not been announced or endorsed by the recognised leadership. The chapter’s official programmes and initiatives will, it says, go through its authorised structures and representatives.
