Isa Odidi - Atiku Is The Best Candidate To Attract Nigerians In Diaspora

Isa Odidi, the co-founder of Intellipharmaceutics Inc, a publicly traded company in North America, says Atiku Abubakar is the best candidate to work with Nigerians in the diaspora.


In a statement on Sunday, Odidi, a director mobilising support for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the diaspora, said with Atiku as president, Nigerians abroad would contribute their quota to nation-building.

“Atiku is the best prepared and capable leader to turn around Nigeria,” the Canada-based professor said.

He added that if Atiku wins the presidential election, “citizens in the diaspora can be encouraged and mobilised to come contribute their quota in skills, resources and governance like it happened during the Obasanjo-Atiku administration”.

Odidi, a presidential candidate in 2007, said it is a good move that the PDP standard bearer is seeking “strategic” partnerships abroad.

“Having officially commenced his campaign in Nigeria, it is a good idea to go shopping for strategic partnerships, since the tasks ahead will be enormous,” he said.

“The visit is timely in the light of terrorist alerts by the US and its allies in Nigeria.

“The carefully selected strong delegation of His Excellency underscores the importance he attaches to foreign partnership – especially the very strategic meeting he had with the State Department on Thursday.”

The professor said if elected, Abubakar should ensure that Nigerians in diaspora would be able to vote in 2027.

“Nigerians in the diaspora should be able to vote at the next round of elections after 2023. It does not look good disenfranchising millions of our compatriots who live and work overseas, to support the economy of their home country,” he said.

"Recall that I had as far back as 2007 as a presidential candidate myself successfully led a legal battle to recognise the rights of Nigerians in the diaspora to vote and be voted for in our elections.”

Blac Chyna Drags Tyga's Mum Into Child Custody Battle

It looks like Blac Chyna is doing everything she can to start seeing her kids more. Blac Chyna and Tyga According to HipHopDX news, in court documents obtained by Radar Online, that the ex-stripper (real name Angela White) served Pasionaye Nguyen — the “Rack City” rapper’s mother — with documents on Thursday (September 21). The service was done via a process server since Blac Chyna couldn’t find her ex to deliver the documents accordingly. Service via a third party is known as substituted service, and this type of service is acceptable in the California court system so long as the party doing the serving can demonstrate that they tried to serve the original party “at least three times,” and was unsuccessful in each attempt. This suggests that Blac Chyna will now try to claim that Tyga was dodging her previous petitions — and what’s more, Tyga is now forced to respond to her paperwork or face a potential default judgment against him. Last month, Blac Chyna filed a petition in the Los An...

Be Inspired! A very poor woman called a radio station asking for help from God. A non-believer who was also listening to this radio program decided to make fun of the woman. He got the woman's address from the radio station and told his secretary to carry a large amount of foodstuff to the woman.  However, he gave the following instruction; "When the woman asks who sent the food, tell her that it's from the devil." When the secretary arrived at the woman's house, the woman was happy and grateful for the help received. She started putting the food packets inside her small house.  The secretary then asked her, "Don't you want to know who sent the food?" The woman replied, "No, I don't care... because when GOD orders, even the DEVIL obeys! Have a blessed day ahead. 🤣😅🤣😅🤣😅🤣 Image: iStock
