About John K. Randle

  • John Randle (1 February 1855 – 27 February 1928) was a West African doctor who was active in politics in Lagos, now in Nigeria, in the colonial era.
  • Born in Sierra Leone, he was one of the first West Africans to qualify as a doctor in the United Kingdom.
  • On return he worked for the Lagos Colony colonial medical service for a while, then left due to discrimination and built up a successful private practice, treating both Europeans and Africans.
  • He co-founded the People's Union in 1908, a political association that sometimes opposed government measures.
  • During World War I (1914–18) he was loyal to the British Empire.
  • In post-war politics the conservative People's Union was not a serious competitor to the more radical Nigerian National Democratic Party.
