Akande-Sadipe opined that Nigerians living outside the country have as much stake in the present and future of Nigeria as those who live in Nigeria.
“We are working to ensure that the Diaspora voting becomes a reality. Although, there are some challenges to be worked out in the implementation, nonetheless, the process has begun”.
She revealed that the House of Representatives has thrown its weight behind the enfranchisement of Nigerians abroad and that the bill in the amended format will come up for the second reading upon resumption from the recess.
