Former Prime Minister Imran Khan urged overseas Pakistanis to limit remittances to support his civil disobedience campaign. However, many expatriates, like Muhammad Waseem, are finding it difficult to stop sending money home, given their families' financial needs. Though Waseem initially planned to halt his monthly cash transfers following Khan's directive, he acknowledged he might revert to sending funds due to family pressures. This situation underscores the struggles Nigerians face while navigating competing loyalties between political movements and familial responsibilities amidst their country's precarious economic situation.
"I was sending close to 4,000 Qatari riyals every month to support my family, but as soon as I heard what Imran Khan said, I informed them that I wouldn't be sending money."
"Heeding that call, 28-year-old Muhammad Waseem, a devoted supporter of Khan's Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf party, telephoned his family in Punjab to tell them he would halt the cash transfers."
