Diaspora Nigerians in the United States under the auspices of Organisation for the Advancement of Nigerians (OAN, Inc.), have concluded plans to organise a debate for presidential candidates towards the 2023 election, IgbereTV reports
The presidential debate tagged ‘The Diaspora Listens’, according to a statement issued on Sunday by spokesman of the OAN, Olayinka DanSalami, is scheduled to hold virtually on November 26.
DanSalami said all the presidential candidates have been invited to attend the debate which is in collaboration with 15 other Nigerian partner organisations in the US.
“The United States hosts one of the largest numbers of Nigerian citizens and associations worldwide. They are critical to the political and socio-economic development of our dear country, in spite of the differences in cultures and languages,” DanSalami said in the statement.
“We are also continuing to fly the Nigerian flag high as we excelled in our various endeavours.
“Thus, we believe that to actualise the Nigeria of our dream, everyone must contribute his or her own quota. We believe that the 2023 presidential election is a critical and consequential election that has generated so much enthusiasm, interest, and support among the Nigerian compatriots in the diaspora
