written by

The Financial Secretary of the APC UK Chapter and respected community leader, Dr. Bernard Doro, has visited his hometown in Plateau State to commiserate with his people following a horrific attack that left dozens dead and many others wounded.

Dr. Doro was accompanied by the Honourable Minister of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Alleviation, Prof. Nentawe Goshwe Yilwatda, during a heartfelt visit to Zike and Kimakpa communities in the Kwall District of Irigwe Chiefdom, Bassa Local Government Area, where at least 47 people have been confirmed dead, and several others sustained injuries in the recent violent assault.

The attack, which took place over the past days, has once again highlighted the persistent insecurity threatening lives and livelihoods in parts of Plateau State.

During the visit, Dr. Doro and Prof. Yilwatda met with grieving families, offered prayers, and engaged with local leaders to better understand the needs of the affected communities.

Dr. Doro said it was with a heavy heart that he returned home under such sorrowful circumstances. He noted that the people are in mourning and called on relevant authorities to ensure justice and lasting peace.

Prof. Nentawe Goshwe Yilwatda assured the communities of the federal government’s commitment to providing humanitarian relief and working on long-term solutions to insecurity. He emphasised that no Nigerian should live in fear or be subjected to such horrors, and pledged continued collaboration with stakeholders to restore peace and support affected families.

The APC UK Chapter joins Dr. Doro in praying for the souls of the departed and in calling for urgent action to stem the tide of violence in Plateau and other parts of Nigeria.

May peace return to our land. May the families of the victims find comfort and strength. And may God heal our nation.

APC UK Women’s Day Conference

At the APC UK Chapter Women’s Day Conference held in London Councillor Sade Etti, Cabinet Member for Housing Needs & Homelessness in the London Borough of Hackney, delivered an inspiring speech on gender equality and women’s empowerment.

She emphasized the importance of women uplifting and advocating for one another, stating that gender equality is not just a women’s issue but a collective responsibility. She urged women to continue breaking barriers, chase their dreams, and inspire the world.

In her closing remarks, she pointed out that Nigeria currently ranks 3rd to last in women’s representation and called on the APC-led government to do more to promote female inclusion in governance.

Responding immediately, Hon. Tunde Doherty, Chairman of the APC UK Chapter, reassured the audience that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is committed to increasing women’s participation in government. He cited the example of the former Speaker of the Oyo State House of Assembly Rt. Hon. Monsurat Sunmonu, who was an active member of AD, AC, ACN UK, is a testament to the party’s commitment to women in leadership.

APC Diaspora Chapters Applauds Successful NEC Meeting, Reaffirms Support for Party Leadership

The APC UK Chapter congratulates the All Progressives Congress (APC) on the successful conduct of its National Caucus and National Executive Committee (NEC) meetings.

We commend the NEC for passing a well-deserved vote of confidence in President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration. His tireless efforts in steering Nigeria toward economic progress and national stability are evident, and this recognition underscores the positive trajectory of his leadership.

Additionally, we celebrate the vote of confidence extended to our National Chairman, Dr. Abdullahi Ganduje, and the entire National Working Committee (NWC). Dr. Ganduje has led the party to remarkable successes, not only in electoral victories but also in fostering unity, engagement, and inclusivity among party members. His leadership continues to distinguish the APC from the opposition, which struggles with internal stability.

The NEC’s decision to establish a Constitutional Review Committee, led by Governor Mai Mala Buni, is another commendable step toward strengthening the party’s framework. A more robust and inclusive constitution will ensure APC remains dynamic and responsive to the needs of its members worldwide.

Furthermore, we acknowledge the NEC’s approval of the party’s audited financial statements and budgets, reinforcing transparency and accountability within the APC.

As a committed diaspora chapter, the APC UK Chapter remains resolute in its support for the party’s leadership and President Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda, working collectively toward the continued progress and development of Nigeria.

A Year of Transformation: The Journey of APC UK Chapter from Crisis to Historic Progress – Tunde Ajisola

by 13 January 2025

written by

January 13, 2025, marks a significant milestone in the history of the APC UK Chapter, commemorating the one-year anniversary of the events that redefined the chapter’s structure, governance, and future. On this day in 2024, a botched congress exposed deep-seated issues and set the stage for the creation of a 22-member APC UK Interim Committee, led by Hon. Tunde Doherty as Chairman and Hon. Joseph Adebola as Secretary. This committee was tasked with stabilizing the chapter and organizing a credible elective congress within six months, as mandated by the party Headquarters.

What unfolded in the months following was a dramatic interplay of leadership, resistance, and eventual triumph, as the chapter navigated internal challenges to achieve an unprecedented feat: hosting the first-ever party-backed congress outside Nigeria.

A Vision for Stability and Progress

Upon assuming the role of Interim Chairman, Hon. Tunde Doherty quickly outlined a clear plan to restore credibility and functionality to the APC UK Chapter. Central to this vision was holding a transparent and democratic elective congress by mid-2024. However, this vision was met with resistance from a group within the committee, led by Hon. Adebola, who appeared more interested in maintaining a perpetual interim arrangement rather than adhering to the party’s directive.

Efforts to convene the inaugural meeting of the interim committee revealed the depth of the challenge. After significant delays, the meeting finally took place on February 5, 2024, via Zoom. While it became the only meeting of the interim committee, it was not without its successes. Chaired by Hon. Doherty, the meeting achieved critical resolutions, including scheduling a general meeting between February 24 and March 2, 2024, and setting the congress date between March 30 and April 13, 2024.

Conflict and Manipulation

The aftermath of the meeting brought to light the stark divisions within the committee. Hon. Doherty’s timely update to members on the resolutions sparked tensions within Mr. Adebola’s camp. In a move that betrayed the principles of accountability, Mr. Adebola fabricated minutes that contradicted the actual proceedings of the meeting. However, recordings of the meeting, stored both on hard drives and in the cloud, provided indisputable evidence of the true resolutions.

Recognizing the threat to the chapter’s integrity, Hon. Doherty submitted the authentic minutes and recordings to the party headquarters. This bold step underscored his commitment to transparency and set the stage for the headquarters to intervene decisively.

The Dawn of a New Era

With the genuine minutes in hand, the party headquarters acted swiftly to uphold democratic principles. A congress date was set, and on June 29, 2024, the APC UK Chapter made history by conducting the first-ever party-sanctioned elective congress outside Nigeria. The event marked a turning point, bringing together members and delegates to elect Hon. Tunde Doherty as Chairman alongside 27 other executives.

This achievement was more than just a procedural milestone; it symbolized the resilience of the APC UK Chapter and its commitment to democratic governance. The success of the congress demonstrated that even in the face of internal resistance and political maneuvering, integrity and determination could prevail.

Looking Back, Moving Forward

As we reflect on this transformative year, it is clear that the APC UK Chapter has emerged stronger and better positioned to contribute meaningfully to the party’s objectives. The journey from the chaos of January 2024 to the triumph of June 2024 is a testament to the power of visionary leadership and collective effort.

This anniversary serves as a reminder of the chapter’s resilience and its unwavering commitment to progress. It also underscores the importance of integrity, transparency, and adherence to democratic principles in fostering unity and driving meaningful change.

Today, the APC UK Chapter stands as a beacon of progressiveness within the APC family, ready to continue its work of representing the diaspora community and contributing to the broader goals of the party at home and abroad.
