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

by
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.

A Year Ago Today: Senator Dr. Surajudeen Ajibola Basiru’s Historic Visit to the UK

On this day, exactly one year ago, Distinguished Senator Dr. Surajudeen Ajibola Basiru, the National Secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC), undertook a historic visit to the United Kingdom. This momentous occasion marked a decisive step towards unity, as he successfully merged the representatives of APC in the UK, achieving an incredible feat that laid the foundation for a stronger and more cohesive chapter in the diaspora. An Interim Committee was set up on the day with Hon. Tunde Doherty as its Chairman and Hon. Joseph Adebola as the Secretary alongside 20 other members without portfolio.

The visit underscored the APC leadership’s commitment to fostering inclusivity and collaboration across borders. Senator Basiru’s intervention not only brought clarity to the party’s structure in the UK but also reaffirmed the party’s commitment to ensuring that every member, regardless of location, has a voice in shaping its future.

It was not merely an administrative milestone but a pivotal moment that showcased the strength of the APC as a party capable of overcoming challenges through strategic leadership and shared goals. Senator Basiru’s efforts paved the way for the eventual elective congress that followed, further solidifying the APC UK Chapter’s place in the larger party structure.

As the APC UK Chapter moves forward, it remains committed to strengthening the party’s presence in the diaspora and contributing to Nigeria’s development. With a focus on engaging with the diaspora community, building strategic alliances, and upholding democratic values, the chapter under Hon. Doherty’s leadership is poised to achieve even greater milestones.
