Nigerians in Diaspora believe that Alhaji Atiku Abubakar is the leader who will finally articulate and implement a diaspora policy framework to help capture, harness and channel their expertise and goodwill to the Nigerian homeland.

This was disclosed by Professor Isa Odidi of the Peoples Democratic Party, during the Presidential Campaign Council (PDP-PCC) Diaspora Directorate at the Campaign Grand Finale Held at the Shehu Musa Yar’Adua Centre Abuja.

According to him, “Atiku Abubakar’s government will certainly do more to remove obstacles and create opportunities for Nigerians in diaspora to engage in economic development by facilitating diaspora contribution ro the homeland and serving the Nigerian diaspora.

“Atiku Abubakar understands that Nigerians in Diaspora are one of the contemporary global forces shaping the directions and trends of public opinion in Nigeria especially on social media and are expected to impact on the political campaign and electioneering process in Nigeria as the 2023 presidential election approaches. This is why it was important for PDP to partner and join forces with the Nigerian Diaspora by setting up the PDP PCC Diaspora Directorate.

The Green Carpet, Symbolic For Growth 

“The Nigerian Diaspora has now become the PDP’s greatest offshore political asset. The huge presence of Nigerian diaspora in such powerful political and economic centres as London, Paris, New York, Washington DC, Beijing, Moscow and Tokyo where global policy decisions are made has an especially important strategic significance. This expertise and experiences can be of benefit to a political campaign and a nation.” He said reiterated.

"Nigerians in Diaspora have promised to leverage their goodwill to influence their extended families, dependents, and associates in Nigeria to vote in favour of H. E. Atiku Abubakar during the forthcoming presidential election.

"They are also interested in working with Atiku/Okowa on the assumption of office to facilitate the process of trans-national activities and networks and act as development bridge-builders between their host communities abroad and Nigeria,” he said.


The former National chairman of the PDP, Dr Okwesilieze Nwodo, who represented Atiku at the event, said the former Vice President  will ensure Nigeria is restructured, and this will commence within six months of his administration if elected.
