Chairman of the Canadian chapter of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), Mr. Omololu Nick Apata, has said Nigerians in Diaspora are ready to invest in various sectors of the economy, following the victory of Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu in the February 25 presidential election.
Omololu said the diaspora support for the incoming Tinubu administration is premised on the belief in his capacity to fix the country.
The APC stalwart said the country would witness the kind of growth it had never experienced since independence.
Addressing reporters in Akure, the Ondo State capital, Omololu said the political consciousness among Nigerians in the diaspora had increased.
The chairman said the next administration would work towards healing the country from ethnic and religious bigotry.
He said: “There’s a special sense of political awareness and consciousness among Diasporan Nigerians, especially in Canada, where my compatriots are yearning for stable, progressive political process in our beloved country.
“With Tinubu’s election, Nigerians in the Diaspora are willing to invest in Nigeria.
The average Nigerian living abroad is anxious to invest in or relocate to Nigeria. They have been bidding their time, waiting for the right moment.
“That is why the excitement and joy of a Tinubu Presidency are very palpable among those of us in the Diaspora. He has a very robust and organic platform that covers everything: from security, political and economic stability, to a better future for the teeming population of Nigerian youths.
“Tinubu will not disappoint Nigerians.
Now that the prayers of millions of Nigerians have been answered with Tinubu’s election as our next President, I am very convinced that he would not disappoint Nigerians wherever they may be.
“Our President-elect is a man of his words. He is a patient and calculating strategist who would not embark on anything unless he’s sufficiently and efficiently ready.”
