African Action Congress: Who We Are

African Action Congress: Who We Are

The African Action Congress is the first political party in Nigeria to be aligned with a progressive political movement.

Our goal is to work towards the establishment of transformational, accountable and exemplary leadership at all levels of governance in Nigeria – from the presidency, gubernatorial, senatorial and House of Representatives; to the state houses of assembly, local government and ward levels.

Our logo, two raised hands against the backdrop of a shining sun, evokes our dedication to unity, transparency and national development.

We will be the party that fulfils the decades long aspiration of the Nigerian people for prosperity and progress.

Our name makes abundantly clear, our awareness of Nigeria’s responsibilities to itself, to the African continent and to the black race.

A Nigeria that stands united and prosperous, will allow its people to reach their highest potentials, and bring progress, dignity and respect to black people all over the world.

We are a party of ideas and action. We are the party of Nigeria’s erstwhile silent majority, who have resolved to speak up and take back their nation and their destiny.

The African Action Congress is the party of those that have been deemed inconsequential. Our doors are open to all Nigerians -regardless of the names they bear, their financial status, gender, creed or ethnicity.

We are the African Action Congress.

We are the future!

Take it Back – Action!

TakeItBack Movement’s Pressure Successful as INEC Extends Voter Registration by Two Weeks

TakeItBack Movement’s Pressure Successful as INEC Extends Voter Registration by Two Weeks

It is with great pleasure that the Take it Back Movement can announce that, thanks to pressure placed on INEC Nigeria at their Abuja office on the 8th of August, the deadline for the Continuous Voters’ Registration, formerly 17th August, has now been lifted. Nigerians will now be allowed to continue to register to vote in the upcoming presidential elections until the 31st of August – the deadline being shifted by two more weeks.

If anyone was still in doubt as to the power held by youth prepared to fight for their future, this landmark turnaround by INEC should be enough to clear those doubts. The standpoint of the Take it Back Movement has never wavered: wherever the rights of Nigerians are being impeded or thwarted, we will fight, using the proper channels, to ensure liberation and justice.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank the INEC Chairman, Prof. Mahmood Yakubu, for giving us the opportunity to discuss this issue that has proven challenging to many Nigerians, and for yielding to a decision that cements Nigeria’s democracy.

The battle is only half won, however. We urge all Nigerians to avail themselves of this opportunity to make a difference on the 16th February, 2019. There is a real opportunity to create the Nigeria we dream of; a Nigeria that works for all Nigerians, not just the elite few. For the first time, there are real options in this race, and we appeal to every eligible citizen to take advantage of this new hope.

We’ve said it before and we will say it again: Nigeria MUST progress!

TakeItBack Movement’s Political Party Platform is African Action Congress

Today, our movement’s political platform was announced as one of the newly registered political parties by INEC.

On August 15th, the official unveiling of our party, the AAC, will hold at the Party Headquarters in ABUJA. We will also be announcing the members of our Coalition of Authentic Progressive Parties & Organizations (CAPPO) on that date.

With our own dedicated party platform, we are now able to match up a pace setting movement with a transformative political platform.

We call on progressives and youth everywhere to embrace the AAC. Our party is the authentic platform for political transformation in Nigeria.
