Nigeria’s House of Representatives has announced it will look back into the matter of diaspora voting by revisiting the Diaspora Voting Bill.

This was disclosed by Rep. Tolulope Shadipe, Chairman of the committee, during the budget defence of the Diaspora Commission (NIDCOM) by its chief, Mrs Abike Dabiri-Erewa.

If the bill is passed, eligible Nigerians in the diaspora would be able to vote in national elections.

Rep. Tolulope Shadipe stated that the House is going to reintroduce the diaspora voting bill, which was rejected at the constitution amendment exercise earlier.

“We will be back with the bill. They are Nigerians and they have the right to vote in Nigerian elections. The modalities and the issues raised the last time will be resolved and we will come back to it,” she said.
