Historically United Kingdom and Nigeria have a traditional relationship. The United Kingdom has always been a destination for Nigerian immigrants, drawn by its strong economy and opportunities for advancement. However, many of these immigrants have not been active participants in the country's political process, and have been underrepresented in its major political parties. This presents a missed opportunity for the Conservative Party, which could benefit from the talents and perspectives of more Nigerian members. With the right outreach and engagement, the Conservative Party could tap into a rich pool of potential members and diversify its ranks. By doing so, it could better reflect the diversity, increasingly strengthen the UK's political system and strengthen its ability to govern effectively.

 

The Conservative Friends of Nigeria (CFON) would like to play a key role in encouraging more Nigerians in the UK to join the Conservative Party. As a group dedicated to promoting stronger ties between the UK and Nigeria, CFON can provide a supportive and welcoming environment for Nigerian immigrants who are interested in the Conservative Party. By hosting events and activities that showcase the party's values and priorities, CFON would like to help to educate and engage potential members. Additionally, by providing mentorship and guidance to Nigerian members of the party, CFON  would like to help them to navigate the political landscape and become more active and influential members of the Conservative Party. Overall, by fostering a sense of community and belonging, CFON would like to help to attract and retain more Nigerian members of the Conservative Party.

We would not have achieved these without the immense support of many of our Honourable members and Patrons.

We therefore are presenting few award to some key individuals for their great support for our community and CFON

 

-Andrew Boff AM 

Rt Hon Alok Sharma MP

-Helen Grant MP 

Rt Hon Sir Iain Duncan Smith MP 

RT Hon Kemi Badenoch MP

Jackie Doyle-Price MP

 

Many of CFON members are working very hard during election to support others, and have worked hard to support CFON, we shall show appreciation to:

Mr Pius Mbadinuju

Liz Truss stands down as UK prime minister

Guardian: Thu 20 Oct 2022 14.00 BST

Liz Truss has resigned as prime minister and will step down after a week-long emergency contest to find her successor, she announced outside Downing Street on Thursday.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Liz Truss stands down as UK prime minister

 

Here is her resignation statement:

I came into office at a time of great economic and international instability.

Families and businesses were worried about how to pay their bills.

Putin’s illegal war in Ukraine threatens the security of our whole continent.

And our country had been held back for too long by low economic growth.

I was elected by the Conservative party with a mandate to change this.

We delivered on energy bills and on cutting national insurance.

And we set out a vision for a low-tax, high-growth economy that would take advantage of the freedoms of Brexit.

I recognise, though, given the situation, I cannot deliver the mandate on which I was elected by the Conservative party.

I have therefore spoken to His Majesty the King to notify him that I am resigning as leader of the Conservative party.

This morning I met the chair of the 1922 Committee, Sir Graham Brady.

We have agreed there will be a leadership election to be completed in the next week.

This will ensure we remain on a path to deliver our fiscal plans and maintain our country’s economic stability and national security.

I will remain as prime minister until a successor has been chosen.

Thank you.
