Nigerians in the Diaspora Commission has said it will continue to advocate for Diaspora voting amid rejection by the National Assembly.
NiDCOM Chairman, Abike Dabiri-Erewa, stated this at a press conference in Abuja ahead of the 2022 edition of the National Diaspora Day celebration.
Dabiri-Erewa, who lamented that the National Assembly’s efforts to get Diasporans to vote in the 2023 general election were futile, urged stakeholders not to give up.
Recall that a Bill to provide for Diaspora Voting, and for Related Matters, was rejected by the National Assembly on the grounds that the Country does not have the capability.
