Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has urged Nigerians in the diaspora to remain strong and optimistic for a better future for Nigeria.
Abubakar made the call at a virtual interactive session with some Nigerians in the diaspora on Saturday.
“I urge you not to give up just yet. Your strength and resilience are crucial to Nigeria’s future,” Abubakar said.
He emphasized the importance of Nigerians in the diaspora in shaping the country’s future, saying: “As Nigerians living abroad, you have a unique perspective on what good governance and economic management look like. I encourage you to continue to pray for Nigeria’s deliverance. Your prayers and support can help bring about the transformation we need.”
Abubakar expressed his belief in Nigeria’s potential, saying: “I believe in the potential of our great nation and I know that with collective effort, we can overcome the current challenges and build a prosperous Nigeria for all.”
He encouraged them to continue supporting their families and friends back home, saying: “Continue to engage with your loved ones, offering support and encouraging peace and unity in these difficult times. Your contributions to the Nigerian economy through remittances and investments are quite crucial.”
Abubakar also called for the release of detained protesters, saying: “I will advise the government to release these young Nigerians without trial immediately.”
He urged Nigerians in the diaspora to continue to use acceptable civilized strategies to bring attention to government policy mistakes, saying: “I will appeal to all Nigerians in the diaspora to continue to support Nigeria and project it to the world as the country with great potential.”
