Four Nigerians – a United States-born Nigerian, Dr Oye Owolewa, District of Columbia; Segun Adeyina, Georgia, USA, Adeyemi Mobolade, Colorado Springs, USA; and Chiaka Barry, Ginninderra District, Australia –  have recently won elections into various elective positions.

While Owolewa was re-elected as the Shadow Representative for the District of Columbia under the Democratic Party, Barry was elected to the Australian Capital Territory (ACT) Legislative Assembly, which covers the Ginninderra District, under the Liberal Party.

Also, Adeyina was re-elected as State Representative of District 110, Georgia, USA, and Mobolade was elected as the Mayor of Colorado Springs, making history as the first black person to attain such a feat.

The Nigeria in Diaspora Commission (NiDCOM) Chairman/CEO, Hon. Abike Dabiri-Erewa, has already congratulated them on their victory at the polls.

In a statement yesterday by Abdul-Rahman Balogun, the spokesman of the organisation, the NiDCOM boss applauded them for breaking such records in the political arena of their respective places of residence and setting standards.

Dabiri-Erewa commended their relentless efforts and striving for success, urging them to keep up their resilient spirit as they carry out their duties respectively.

She prayed to God for protection, strength and direction in their new positions while also encouraging them to continue putting in their best in the discharge of their duties.
