USA Africa Dialogue Series - Re: DIASPORA VOTE JUDGEMENT- WHO WILL ENFORCE?

Dear All:

I'm constrained to ask the above question. The FHC had delivered a judgement on the subject wherein our rights as a Diaspora were acknowledged and affirmed. But, who will enforce it.

Some of us are back in the country, but still in Canada/US frequently for family visits and businesses.

We need to move beyond rhetorics.
CTC of the judgement attached. Our own Prof Aluko, Hon Akeem Bello and others and yours as the 17th Plaintiff led the struggle.
