A body of Nigerians in the diaspora — Diaspora Support Group of North America and Europe has started mobilising support for the President of African Development Bank, Dr. Akinwumi Adesina to join the presidential race of Nigeria.
It has also been confirmed today to our news media that the Group has picked N100m APC Nomination and Expression of Interest form for him.
Although Adesina is yet to formally indicate his interest the race, last week, Adesina, met with President Muhammadu Buhari at the presidential villa, Abuja.
The Convener, Diaspora Support Group of North America and Europe Dr. Tony Bello, while speaking today said that Adesina is the most qualified, better prepared and the best option.
“He has the capabilities to fix Nigeria. He has humble beginnings, and every Nigerians can relate to his life story especially how he grew up, and most importantly his decisions have always been based on merit. He is a detrablised Nigerian. He’ll bring visionary leadership to the country and help restore past glory.
“On the African stage, he has demonstrated that he has what it takes, if Nigeria succeeds, then Africa succeeds. We’ve had conversation with him, we are getting others involved. We need a technocrat at this stage of our democracy. We are working with many persons underground”.
