In a statement released by the coalition’s spokesperson, Marcus Ayodele, it cautioned against actions that could compromise the ongoing peace process in the UK, saying this alert follows Doherty’s discreet trip to the APC headquarters in Abuja, where he submitted interest and nomination forms for executive positions for the yet-to-be-scheduled APC UK Elective Congress.
Ayodele added that Doherty’s move preempts yet-to-be-agreed-upon plans, schedules, and guidelines with the NWC and APC UK stakeholders.
He noted that the interim committee, established by the NWC in Abuja, has convened only once, raising concerns about the adequacy of a single meeting as a foundation for the congress, adding that Doherty’s portrayal of the visit as representing a united front has been criticised for sending a dubious and misleading signal.
