Investigative journalist David Hundeyin has accused Nigeria's President-Elect Bola Ahmed Tinubu of committing perjury. He said this when he appeared on 90MinutesAfrica hosted by Rudolf Okonkwo on Sunday. During the interview, David Hundeyin revealed that Tinubu failed to declare in his form EC9 submitted to INEC that he obtained citizenship in Guinea.

Jagaban of Guinea

Interesting.... if the evidence presented is true then Tinubu is guilty of perjury and should be prosecuted. This is another test of Nigerian judicial system. I hope there are still good judges and lawyers in Nigeria.....

dead on arrival please.
Section 28, however, excludes citizens by birth from restriction by section 137.


It states that “(1) Subject to the other provisions of this section, a person shall forfeit forthwith his Nigerian citizenship if, not being a citizen of Nigeria by birth, he acquires or retains the citizenship or nationality of a country, other than Nigeria, of which he is not a citizen by birth.

The issue is not only about dual citizenship as you may presume but it is about perjury. Tinubu's failure to disclose he had dual citizenship under oath is a criminal act if proven guilty....

Section 117 of the Criminal Code Act:

Any person who, in any judicial proceeding, or for the purpose of instituting any judicial proceeding, knowingly gives false testimony touching any matter which is material to any question then pending in that proceedings, or intended to be raised in that proceeding, is guilty of an offence which is called perjury.....

Also section 118 of the Criminal Code reads: Any person who commits perjury is liable to imprisonment for fourteen years....

In order to prove perjury I guess Hundeyin or any other concerned Nigerian need to take the matter to a court of competent jurisdiction....
