Diaspora voting - where things stand

The Electoral Act 2022 did not extend the franchise to Nigerians abroad. Roughly 17 million Nigerians live outside the country, sending home over $20 billion in remittances every year - yet none of them can vote in federal elections. The Obi 2027 platform supports a constitutional amendment to grant diaspora voting rights, with INEC operating polling at consulates and embassies.

Until that changes, diaspora supporters in Belgium have an outsized role: phone-bank family members back home, fund polling-unit agents through this site, and pressure home-state representatives to support the diaspora-vote bill currently before the National Assembly.

Three ways to help from Belgium

  1. Donate. Crypto contributions skip bank-rail friction. Use BTC, ETH, USDT, BNB or SOL.
  2. Phone-bank home. Encourage two relatives in your home state to register and collect their PVCs.
  3. Join your local chapter. Connect with the Obi 2027 organising group in your hub city.
