“This diaspora committee will work tirelessly to reposition our great party and build a new partnership with our people in diaspora especially in the major countries of the world like USA, UK, Canada, Germany, South Africa just to mention but a few
”I can say without mincing words that our people in diaspora are willing to identify with Labour Party and also ready to support the party and its presidential candidates
I want to reassure our Nigerians living abroad that the Labour Party will build a new government in 2023 and give birth to a new Nigeria with a president who has a track record of integrity and competence, he added.
