The All Progressives Congress (APC), Oyo State Chapter, has inaugurated a new set of executives for its United Kingdom (UK) branch with Bayo Gbenla, as its Chairman.
This is contained in a statement issued by the newly inaugurated Secretary, Olamide Olasupo, which was made available to newsmen on Monday in Ibadan.
Among the newly inaugurated members of the executives are Sunday Owolabi, Vice-Chairman; Ronke Dairo; Yomi Oke; Ajibola Ogunremi; Titilayo Oladigbolu; Folawiyo Bello, and Ahmad Olansile.
The inauguration ceremony held in the UK was attended by Dr. Yunus Akintunde, Oyo Central APC senatorial candidate, who represented Teslim Folarin, the Oyo APC governorship candidate.
It was also attended by acting APC National Chairman in the UK, Tunde Dorothy; the Chairman, South-West Caucus, Muyiwa Adesua; Ogun APC Chairman UK, Andrew Taiwo, and outgoing Oyo APC Chairman UK, Kolawole Saidu.
Gbenla, a mental health practitioner, has worked at the University College Hospital (UCH), Ibadan for over a decade before relocating to the UK.
The UK branch chairman, a businessman, philanthropist, and socialite from Ibadan North-East Local Government area, was a member of the reconciliation committee set up by APC UK, in the aftermath of the fallout of the 2019 general election.
The efforts had brought many progressive politicians, notable among whom was the late Gov. Adebayo Alao-Akala; Sen. Olufemi Lanlehin, and many others back to APC.
