We are sorry to announce the death of the greatest human being and lover of all things Nigeria, Chief (Dr) Isiaka Owoade, the Babalaje of Ikireland.

We were fortunate to have him as the head of our family. A loving husband, father, grandfather and sibling.

His achievements in life are far too many to list on a social media post. Google him, mention his name, and someone will have the most amazing story to share about him. The story will always be how he positively impacted the environment, education, youth development, and politics.

We thank all of you who took part in his life in whatever format. He lived a life of fulfilment always for others, building others, building the future.

It was indeed a privilege and honour to host our National Organising Secretary of APC, HE Dr. Sulaiman Muhammad Argungu — Chairman of the Nigeria Bulk Electricity Trading Company and former Deputy Governor of Kebbi State — during his visit to London.

The evening was not just about sharing a meal, but about exchanging ideas, vision, and commitment for the continued growth of our great party, APC, and our beloved country, Nigeria. Dr. Argungu, in his characteristic depth, offered valuable insights into the state of the party and the nation, reinforcing the importance of unity, discipline, and focus as we look ahead to future milestones.

Welcoming him especially, the Chairman of APC UK and APC Committee of Diaspora Chairmen (APC CDC), Hon. Tunde Doherty, expressed gratitude for Dr. Argungu’s steadfast leadership and tireless efforts in ensuring that the APC stands firmly on a strong footing both in Nigeria and across the diaspora. He assured Dr. Argungu of the unwavering support of members in the diaspora, who remain committed to contributing their quota towards the Renewed Hope agenda.

In his response, Dr. Argungu warmly thanked everyone present for the hospitality they had shown him. He pledged his continuous support for the APC and reaffirmed his commitment to stand by party members all over the world, noting that the strength of the party lies in its collective will and global reach.

The night was a resounding success — marked by warm fellowship, rich conversations, and a renewed sense of purpose. It demonstrated that beyond politics, the APC family — in Nigeria and abroad — is united by a shared vision of progress, service, and hope for a greater Nigeria.

A Beautiful Night of Merriment and Reflection

The APC UK Chapter hosted a warm and memorable dinner reception in honour of the National Deputy Publicity Secretary of our great party, Hon. Durosimi Meseko, and his lovely wife on Sunday night at Planet 224 Lounge in Bromley, London, UK.

The evening brought together party members, friends, and community stakeholders in a relaxed atmosphere, allowing us to reflect on Nigeria’s Democracy Day and take stock of the midterm achievements of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu. It was both a moment of celebration and introspection.

Guests enjoyed a delicious meal, joyful dancing, and heartfelt conversations. A brief interview was also granted by Hon. Durosimi Meseko who was also recently appointed as the Chairman of the Governing Board of the Nigeria Building and Road Research Institute (NBRRI). where he shared encouraging insights about his role during the June 12 struggles and his hope of a bigger electoral win for President Tinubu in the coming 2027 General Elections.

It was indeed a joyful evening, and we left with renewed faith in the leadership of President Tinubu, stronger bonds within the APC family, and a collective prayer for continued progress for Nigeria, Nigerians, and our great party.
