It true that anybody with Dual citizenship can't contest for a post of a Governor?
Re: Dual Citizenship by olawalebabs(m): 4:31pm On Sep 29, 2011
Yes, that is what the 1999 constitution said.
Re: Dual Citizenship by Pukkah: 5:13pm On Sep 29, 2011
Yes. In fact, there's currently a case in court against the Oyo State Governor on this issue.

I'm sure some have. I think the rule is if you choose to become a citizen on another country. A Tokunbo should be allowed to.

NO IT IS NOT TRUE. check other threads on this topic.

the constitution states that a natural born nigerian cannot loose his Nigerian citizenship by becoming the citizen of another country. that said, hopefully, this case will get all the way to the supreme court and a final interpretation will be rendered to put to rest this citizenship drama
