Sahara Reports: Ahead of 2027, APC’s new weapon is speed. Beat fake news by communicating faster and clearer.
Global News— APC National Chairman, Prof Nentawe Yilwatda, told diaspora members to think beyond mobilisation. “You are image makers for Nigeria,” he said. “We need your credible voices to sell Mr President to the world.”
His charge to 500+ Renewed Hope Ambassadors at Sunday’s virtual global conference: “Build counter-fake news strategies in every chapter.” The Directorate of Diaspora and Global Affairs organised the RHA summit. Hon Abike Dabiri-Erewa, NIDCOM Chairman/CEO, opened it at 8:00 PM.
How APC Killed the 2014 Lie
Former APC UK Chairman Dr Philip Idaewor gave the masterclass. He recalled how PDP’s “BOW group” document branded APC an “Islamic party” across Europe in 2014. The label stuck until real-time communication between Pa Bisi Akande, later Pa Odigie-Oyegun, and APC UK under Dr Idaewor killed it.
“Diaspora can’t fight lies without direct info from HQ,” Dr Idaewor warned. “The party and RHA must keep diaspora chapters updated, consistently.”
Other Speakers at the Virtual Summit
RHA DG and Imo Gov Hope Uzodinma added: “Diaspora is key to our national politics. Speak with one voice. Use NIDCOM as your coordination centre.”
The 2027 message is simple: when HQ talks and diaspora echoes, fake news has no space.
