A Call to Resilience: Atiku Abubakar Urges Nigerians in the Diaspora to Stay Optimistic
Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has issued a stirring appeal to Nigerians living abroad, urging them to remain strong and optimistic about the future of their homeland. Speaking at a virtual interactive session with some Nigerians in the diaspora on Saturday, Abubakar emphasized the crucial role that expatriate Nigerians play in shaping the country’s future.
According to Abubakar, the current socio-economic challenges facing Nigeria have led to untold hardship for millions of citizens, with the poverty index continuing to rise. Despite these difficulties, he called on Nigerians not to give up, emphasizing the importance of their strength and resilience in shaping the nation’s future.
Abubakar praised Nigerians in the diaspora for their unique perspective on good governance and economic management, encouraging them to continue praying for Nigeria’s deliverance and to play a vital role in calling attention to government missteps. He also emphasized the significance of their remittances and investments in the Nigerian economy.
The former vice-president also called for the release of detained protesters being charged with treason, emphasizing that the right to protest government policies is a fundamental human right entrenched in the Nigerian constitution. He urged Nigerians in the diaspora to continue supporting their families and friends back home, and to project Nigeria as a country with great potential.
With the 2023 PDP Presidential Candidate urging the Federal Government to release the detained protesters, it is clear that Abubakar remains committed to democratic values and the principles of good governance. As Nigeria navigates its current challenges, the words of the former vice-president serve as a powerful reminder of the importance of collective effort and resilience in building a brighter future for all.
