CHIEF ALEX UBAKA ACHEBE JOINS OBI-KWANKWASO 2027 DIASPORA LEADERSHIP MEETING IN LONDON

LONDON — 4 October 2026:

Chief Alex Ubaka Achebe, General Secretary of the Obi-Kwankwaso 2027 UK Diaspora Group, joined other members of the group’s executive leadership for a strategic meeting in London with His Excellency Senator Henry Seriake Dickson, National Leader and Founder of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) and former Governor of Bayelsa State.

The meeting brought together Dr Peter Uwaibi, Chairman; Barr. Solomon Obazee, Vice Chairman; Chief Alex Ubaka Achebe, General Secretary; Deacon Ray Darlington, Media and Publicity; and Engineer Kenneth Owens-Aghedo, Head of Recruitment and Mobilisation.

Discussions focused on strengthening the mobilisation and sensitisation of Nigerians across the United Kingdom, Europe, Ireland and the wider diaspora ahead of Nigeria’s 2027 general elections.

Among the proposals discussed were plans for a major town hall meeting, an anti-rigging protest involving more than 300 participants in London, stronger collaboration among existing support groups, and a coordinated effort to bring emerging UK-based groups into the wider Obi-Kwankwaso UK movement.

The meeting also explored engagement with reputable international election-monitoring organisations, with discussions centred on promoting transparency, credibility and democratic participation in the 2027 electoral process.

During the meeting, Chief Alex Ubaka Achebe, who is also Chairman of Achebe Hope Foundation and MARLEX Apartments, highlighted his involvement in London’s hospitality and serviced accommodation sector. MARLEX operates a portfolio of more than 55 properties across London.

Chief Achebe also proposed hosting Senator Dickson at MARLEX Apartments upon the former governor’s return to London from the United States.

The London meeting forms part of wider efforts by the diaspora leadership to strengthen political engagement among Nigerians abroad and build greater coordination ahead of the 2027 general elections.
