The All Progressives Congress (APC) United Kingdom Chapter is deeply saddened and shocked by the heartbreaking news of the passing of Dr. AbdulRauf Adekunle Adeniji, Director of Administration at the APC National Secretariat, FCT Abuja.
Fondly known as “Congo Natty” by his close associates, Dr. Adeniji was a distinguished gentleman, a grassroots politician of repute, and a seasoned administrator. He began his illustrious administrative journey at Obafemi Awolowo University, where he rose to the position of Assistant Registrar.
A loyal member of the progressive family, he joined the Alliance for Democracy (AD) at the dawn of this democratic dispensation and remained committed through the evolution into the APC. He notably served as Chairman of Ife Central Local Government Council on the APC platform, leaving a lasting legacy of service and leadership.
In October 2024, Dr. Adeniji warmly received the APC UK Chapter delegation at the National Secretariat. He graciously hosted us in his conference room, where he reaffirmed his unwavering support for the APC UK and the wider vision of the party. His humility, dedication, and warm hospitality left a lasting impression.
Our hearts go out to his family, the leadership and staff of the APC National Secretariat, the people of Osun State, and everyone who knew and worked with him. We pray that Almighty Allah forgives his shortcomings and grants him Jannatul Firdaus.
