Ganduje made this declaration on Monday during the inauguration of the new executive committee of the APC France Chapter in Paris, promising that the APC\u00a0 will work more closely with the National Assembly to ensure that Diaspora voting becomes a reality rather than a political campaign issue.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
He called on all diaspora members to rally behind President Bola Ahmed Tinubu\u2019s reforms and Renewed Hope Agenda.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u00a0Ganduje acknowledged that while the reforms under President Tinubu may be painful, “they are necessary steps to reposition Nigeria\u2019s economy.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
In a statement signed by his Chief Press Secretary, Edwin Olofu and made available to Journalists on Monday in Abuja, the APC Chairman praised the efforts of the Diaspora Nigerians in expanding the party\u2019s base abroad through active recruitment of members and mobilization.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
He further assured the gathering that the party is committed to working with the National Assembly to realize the long-sought goal of Diaspora voting, enabling full political inclusion for Nigerians living abroad.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cWe appreciate you for holding the banner of our party, expanding its membership, and supporting President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, especially in light of the critical reforms he is undertaking. There is now more funding for capital development, and both governors and local government chairmen can attest to this,\u201d Ganduje stated.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
He also recalled that recent party meetings, including those of the National Caucus and the National Executive Committee (NEC), which affirmed overwhelming support for the President\u2019s performance should be a reference point for all.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Speaking at the event, that took place in Paris at the weekend, where prominent APC members in Diaspora gathered. Dr. Ganduje emphasized the importance of unity among party members, stressing their role in supporting the administration\u2019s economic transformation efforts.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cAt the end of the NEC meeting, a vote of confidence was passed on President Tinubu because of the progress his administration is making.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
“He is a reformer and has introduced significant changes, especially in the economic sector,\u201d he said.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Dr. Ganduje expressed optimism about the APC\u2019s prospects heading into the 2027 elections, pointing out that increasing internal stability and the defection of key figures from other political parties were good omen for the party.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cThere is peace in the APC, unlike in other parties that are battling internal crises. Because of this enabling environment, many are decamping to our party, including senators, members of the House of Representatives, State Assembly members, and other notable political figures. Our party respects its constitution and practices internal democracy.\u201d<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
In her response, the newly inaugurated Chairlady of the APC France Chapter, Hajjiya Amina Musa Baba Suzuki, reiterated the critical role of Nigerians in the Diaspora in national development, not just as economic contributors, but also as political stakeholders.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cThe Nigerian Diaspora community contributes billions in remittances and investments, but we are also thoughtful leaders and proud ambassadors of Nigeria\u2019s democracy,\u201d she said.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
She advocated for stronger support for Diaspora chapters, emphasizing their role as mobilizers and promoters of Nigeria\u2019s interests abroad.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cWe serve as vital links between our people and democratic processes at home. Our chapter and others like it act as soft-power diplomats, advocates, and connectors.\u201d<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The Chairlady concluded with a passionate appeal to Dr. Ganduje and the APC leadership to champion the cause of diaspora voting.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cUnder your visionary leadership, we believe diaspora voting can become a reality. It is not only possible\u2014it is necessary.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
We respectfully urge you to make this dream come true during in the life of this administration. After all, where there is a will, there is always a way.\u201d<\/div>\n
