Nigerians in the U.S. are making plans to hold a debate for all the presidential candidates contesting the February 25, 2023, presidential election.
The presidential debate, tagged ‘The Diaspora Listens’, is scheduled to hold on November 26 virtually, according to a statement on Sunday signed by Olayinka DanSalami, on behalf of the organising committee.
The Organisation for the Advancement of Nigerians (OAN, Inc.) will organise the debate in collaboration with 15 other Nigerian partner organisations in the U.S.
Mr DanSalami said the presidential candidates had been invited to attend the debate.
“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,” the statement explained. “We are also continuing to fly the Nigerian flag high as we excelled in our various endeavours.
