Barely three (3) months into their registration as a Political Party by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), the Abundant Nigeria Renewal Party (ANRP), which prides itself in collection, accommodation and presentation of vibrant young Nigerians with innovative adoption of technology has gone ahead to hold its congress recently, while also conducting election of members into Party’s national offices so as to set out for work ahead of 2019.
The congress in Abuja saw already, many, registered members who travelled down from various States to exercise their rights to participate in politics. The election of members into Party’s offices was done in an open Option A4 format, where the delegates stood behind the contestants of their choices for a transparent counting in order to elect the officers.
Speaking at the congress, the National Chairman elect, Mr. Tope Fasua declared that the practice was to show other parties how to conduct internal democracy with transparency. He said that the ANRP would be a “First Force Party” for Nigerians to take as model, but not a “Third Force” for any of the existing political parties in Nigeria.
While he appraised the organic membership generation and impressive turn out at their first ANRP congress in only a short time after its registration by INEC, Mr. Fasua declares that crowd-funding is also one of the party’s outstanding qualities that readily distinguishes it from others.
He said the choice of Eagle Square as venue for their first congress without having any access to national vault or Government resources is one of evidences that the Party is well started-out and has great potential as a platform for young Nigerians to take their political destinies in their hands.
The congress was also observed by officials of INEC, student observers and some Nigerians from diaspora who attended by way of solidarity and support for the party’s innovative standing.
A delegate from Lagos which is an Agege based Azeez Nurudeen serving as a coordinator from ANRP Agege LGA witnessed the event encourage young adults to take their destinies into their hands by getting involve in politics at the grassroots level.
