Just like the leader of the Indigenous People Of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu said, the All Progressive Congress (APC) has told the presidential election tribunal that Atiku Abubakar, the 2019 presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is not a Nigerian.

The APC made the claim, which Mr Kanu made public prior to this year’s general election, while responding to the petition of Mr Abubakar and his party wherein they challenged the election that produced President Muhammadu Buhari as the winner.

The IPOB leader had claimed in one of his broadcast earlier in the year that the PDP candidate is not a Nigerian, he said the former vice president is from Cameroon.

Mr Buhari in winning the election with about 4 million votes has actualized his second term ambition expected to begin in May.

While responding to the petition by the opposition parties, the APC stated that by mere hailing from Cameroon, Atiku as he is popularly known is not qualified to have contested the election.

The ruling party asked the tribunal to dismiss the petition for lack of merit arguing that the over 11 million votes recorded in favour of Atiku and the PDP should be voided and considered a waste by the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal.

The response of the party filed by its lead counsel, Lateef Fagbemi (SAN) noted that the former vice president was born on November 25, 1946, in Jada, Adamawa, in Northern Cameroon and is, therefore, a citizen of Cameroon and not a Nigerian by birth.

The APC claimed that prior to 1919, Cameroon was being administered by Germany and that following the defeat of Germany in World War 1, which end in 1918, Cameroon became part of a League of Nations mandate territory which consisted of French Cameroon and British Cameroon in 1919.

It further argued that in 1961, a plebiscite was held in British Cameroon to determine whether the people preferred to stay in Cameroon or align with Nigeria.

According to the party, while northern Cameroon preferred a union with Nigeria, southern Cameroon chose alignment with the mother country and that it was as a result of the plebiscite that northern Cameroon, which included Adamawa, became a part of Nigeria.

Lol, they should prove it.

Is buhari not also a son of a duck seller from Niger

Hehehehe the tribunal will be fun. Cameroonian Versus Sudanese jostling for Aso rock chai!

APC is a party full of illiterates. Maybe they need to be tutored on what a plebiscite is, their claim is incompetent and lacks merit. The Tribunal should strike out such frivolous claims and award penalty to the satanic party. They only want to deflect attention from the obvious electoral robbery. President Atiku will certainly reclaim his stolen mandate

Btw: Is the satanic party saying Nnamdi Kanu, a supposed terrorist, is now their role model by presenting to the tribunal what the Ipod guy said word for word?

Naija theatre of comedies

This party is so dumped that they are now taking clue from a group they proscribed.

That means Kanu must be saying the truth about Buhari being an imposter from Sudan.

A very weak defense. What a useless excuse. What happened to citizenship by naturalization. As long as INEC didn't disqualify him, he is a bonafide Nigerian

booblacain:
Lol, they should prove it.

which other explanation you want again,
they told you how thief atiku was born in 1946 in cameroon before the part of Cameroon thief atiku was born formally join Nigeria in 1961.
is a clear case to disqualify thief atiku.

Lol, so apc zombies now believe what kanu said.




God bless ipob

I am not Buhari supporter but going by constitution of Nigeria. Atiku was not qualified to contest. It is fact not being emotional. It is only a citizen by birth that has right to contest for presidency.
But another question is, do our constitution work?
