Vice President Yemi Osinbajo said this in Abuja on Monday, at a Stakeholders’ Workshop organised by the council.
Represented by Femi Ojudu, Special Adviser to President Muhammadu Buhari on Political Matters, Osinbajo said that the current administration had endorsed diaspora voting. He said there was need for all stakeholders “to approach and work with the National Assembly to amend the constitution in order to accommodate those in diaspora to vote during our elections.
“This now goes to the legislature to make this a reality, namely: an amendment of the laws by the National Assembly so that those in the diaspora can vote in future elections. “In the words of the President in Addis Ababa, `you will need to convince the National Assembly to amend the relevant laws to make diaspora voting a reality’,” Osinbajo added.
Does it mean police and soldiers will not shoot voters and snatch ballot boxes?
Get outta there, errand boy. What has your govt done with the votes within the country, what changes can the votes abroad make to dead jungle called Nigeria.
Has he allowed votes of those of us in Nigeria to count?
Because you people know that you're not coming back to power why didn't you allow it in the 2019 elections, thief's blood sucker , demons in human form, fake pastor
Needless. Votes in Nigeria don’t count, so also votes from diaspora will equally not count.
Just give us free and fair election let our local votes count before our brothers in Niger and Chad will come on board.....nhmmmm

VP burials and markets, tell your Oga to sign the amended Electoral Bill into law. The senate and INEC said Nigeria is not ripe for diaspora voting. Who asked him to talk? 🤷🏾♂️
