The United Kingdom (UK) Chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) will tomorrow, Wednesday, November 11, hold a special night of tributes in honour of its late Woman Leader, Susan Taiwo Jegunmah.
In a statement signed by the Publicity Secretary, Tunde Ajisola, and made available to newsmen yesterday, the chapter said family members, friends, political associates and well-wishers of the deceased would gather to celebrate her life and honour her contributions to the party.
According to the statement, the night of tributes is aimed at celebrating her life, contributions to the party and remarkable political journey within the APC UK chapter.
“The late Susan Taiwo Jegunmah was a committed and dedicated member of our party in the United Kingdom. Her political journey within APC UK saw her rise from Lagos State APC UK Woman Leader to the Southwest APC UK Caucus, where she was elected Woman Leader. She subsequently emerged as the APC UK Chapter Woman Leader at the National Congress held in London on June 29, 2024.
“Her contributions did not end with her emergence as Chapter Woman Leader. In March 2025, she initiated the annual celebration of International Women’s Day by the APC UK Women’s Wing, establishing an initiative that has continued to provide a platform for recognising, celebrating and promoting the contributions of women within the party.
“She also played a significant role in the emergence of the Edo State Caucus of APC UK, helping to bring members together and supporting the process of setting up its executive structure. In recognition of her contribution, the caucus is scheduled to be inaugurated in her honour later this month,” the statement said.
Ajisola noted that the milestones recorded by the late Jegunmah would continue to inspire party members to contribute to the growth, organisation and development of APC UK.
“As we come together to celebrate her life and legacy, we invite all members, leaders, friends and well-wishers to join us in honouring a woman whose commitment and service have left an enduring mark on our chapter,” Ajisola stated.
