The Concerned Nigerian Network in Diaspora (CNND), and the Rebuild Nigeria Movement Worldwide (RNMW), have announced plans to carry out thorough consultations and assessments before endorsing any political party or candidate for the 2027 general elections.<\/p>\n

Speaking on behalf of both organizations, former president and founder, Ambassador James Erebuoye, emphasized the need for caution and strategic decision-making following the experiences of the 2023 elections.<\/p>\n

According to Erebuoye, several errors made by platform administrators and coordinators during the last electoral cycle nearly fractured the network, which he noted took over two decades to build across Nigeria and the diaspora.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe will undertake proper diligence before deciding which political party or candidate to support in 2027, and we will also guide our eligible voters accordingly,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n

He called on coordinators within both organizations to prioritize unity, peace, and discipline among members, warning against the dangers of religious intolerance and tribal divisions.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is about our one and only country, Nigeria. We must not allow religious bigotry or tribalism to derail our collective mission,\u201d Erebuoye said.<\/p>\n

Looking ahead to the 2027 elections, he described the process as a critical national assignment, urging members at home and abroad to remain committed and organized.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur goal is to mobilize not less than 20 million votes for the right presidential candidate we collectively decide to support,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Erebuoye also stressed the importance of defending Nigeria\u2019s democracy, describing it as a serious responsibility that requires the active involvement of all members. He further called for intensified efforts to combat corruption, which he said has hindered the nation\u2019s development for decades.<\/p>\n

Addressing national security concerns, the CNND and RNMW founder urged the Federal Government to take stronger and more decisive action against terrorism and banditry.<\/p>\n

\u201cNo amount of condolences can bring back those who have lost their lives. The priority of government now must be to secure citizens and put an end to these attacks,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He outlined a three-point priority for the government: tackling insecurity, eliminating entrenched corruption networks, and then focusing on economic recovery.<\/p>\n

Erebuoye noted that improving security would naturally enhance economic growth, attract investment, and boost tourism.<\/p>\n

\u201cNo foreign investor or tourist will be attracted to a country plagued by insecurity. Fixing the economy will be much easier once the security challenges are addressed,\u201d he concluded.<\/p>\n

The statement reflects growing political mobilization among diaspora networks as Nigeria prepares for the 2027 general elections.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
