VIDEO: UK-based Nigerians declare support for Tinubu, laud historic visit

Nigerians in the UK expressed their support for President Bola Tinubu's administration following his historic visit to the country, marking the first visit from a sitting Nigerian President in 37 years.

A group of Nigerians residing in the United Kingdom has publicly voiced their support for President Bola Tinubu's administration following his notable visit to the UK, which they hailed as 'historic.' The visit is especially significant as it marks the first time a sitting Nigerian President has visited the UK in 37 years, rekindling sentiments of national pride and connection among Nigerians abroad. Dr. Mary Mena, the founder of Women Our Voice Our Vote, articulated her excitement about the visit, emphasizing its rarity and importance in Nigerian history.

During an interview with News Central TV, attendees reflected on the emotional aspects of the visit, as they compared it to the last state visit, which occurred over three decades ago. Dr. Mena pointed out that many younger individuals may not have experienced a similar event, making this occasion a 'once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.' She reaffirmed their support not only for President Tinubu but also for First Lady Remi Tinubu, showcasing unity and communal backing for their leadership amidst ongoing political developments in Nigeria.

The support from the diaspora highlights the significance of international relations and the desire for a strong representation of Nigeria in global discussions. It also sheds light on how Nigerians abroad are engaging with their roots and advocating for positive changes through initiatives like the 'Renewed Hope Agenda' put forth by Tinubu's administration, reflecting optimism and hope for the future of Nigeria.
