A group of Nigerians in Diaspora, ‘African Democratic Congress-Diaspora Network (ADC-DN) has appealed to Nigerians to join what it called, project “Rescue Nigeria Mission” and to be part of its transformation journey to salvage Nigeria from bad governance.
The Deputy National Chairman of ADC (Diaspora Network), Hon. Kenneth Gbandi, made the call during a World Press Conference on in Abuja, on the state of the nation
He said the restoration of the glory of Nigeria is a patriotic and sacred duty and a must pledge to undertake.
“This administration has failed Nigerians on too many unkept promises; Naira is not one dollar as promised; and electricity we were told will be fixed in two years by any serious Government; the issue of insecurity, we were promised will be history; Kidnapping has become a regular business in Nigeria today; increase in price of fuel; freedom of expression has been under assault while corruption is almost near legalization today; and youth unemployment is at catastrophic level with the second highest unemployment rate anywhere in the world today.
“We have indeed become the poverty capital of the world in all ramification, while our legislators are enjoying jumbo salaries and opposition have been intimidated into total submission or threatened with state apparatus, unless decamped to clueless party.
“Our glorious standing in the the days of Balewas, the Ziks and Awos has turned into a nightmare and the once Green Passport, the pride of Africa is hunted like the most wanted fugitive World over today”, the group said.
The group maintained said that the youths are not alone in the national assault and disgrace, as according to Hon. Gbandi, “the Diasporans were recently informed by the Deputy Speaker, that the Diaspora Nigerians have no right to mess in the issues of Nigeria that is affecting them.”
Hon. Gbandi lamented that the Diaspora have been told that they have no business with voting in Nigerian election.
