The legal team of the presidential candidate of the People’s Democratic party, Atiku Abubakar, has replied President Bola Tinubu whose lawyers recently told the Presidential Election Petitions Court sitting in Abuja that Atiku tendered an expired Guinean passport allegedly belonging to Tinubu to seek the latter’s disqualification as President.https://www.thecable.ng/atiku-to-tribunal-tinubu-cant-be-president-he-holds-guinean-citizenship/amp Dual Citizenship Is Barred For Critical Office Holders! Dual citizenship, or multiple citizenship, is when a single person is legally recognized as a citizen of two or more countries at the same time. Dual citizenship is permitted in Nigeria but persons with dual citizenship are barred and are constitutionally ineligible to run for the following offices: House of Representatives or Senate, Section 66(1)(a); House of Assembly, Section 107(1)(a); Office of the President, Section 137(1)(a); and Office of Governor, Section 182(1)(a). This is the position of the constitution!https://leadership.ng/adamawa-rec-like-father-like-son/ Mynd44 nlfpmod Seun

This is the position of the constitution! But hear what the overhyped APC lawyer Olanipekun is saying "....It is submitted further, that even if the respondent has a dual citizenship, which is not conceded, the Constitution does not preclude him from contesting the office of President of Nigeria,” |

Atiku has been wasting his time for 30 years to become President. Jokes on him. I diss him with “Jokes On You” by Fabolous feat. Pusha T. Great jam! |

However, the importance of this issue was raised ahead of the APC presidential primary last year when human rights activist, Mr Kayode Ajulo, wrote a letter to President Muhammadu Buhari and the national chairman of the All Progressives Congress, Senator Abdullahi Adamu, on the danger of picking a candidate with dual citizenship or past criminal record.A lots of gross illegalities, violation and spurning of the Nigerian constitution by these despicable people in government. "The APC is known for violation of rule of law, & any organisation with disdain for rule of law, cannot stand the test of time. The APC has a very scant regard and respect for the public and for public opinion. It also has a disdain for the law. That makes it a danger to democracy and constitutional rule". https://www.independent.ng/apc-danger-to-nigerias-democracy-oyinlola/ |

Racoon: Oga,the constitution never forbade dual citizenship but forbade voluntary acquisition of another citizenship which are registration or naturalization.atiku failed to prove that tinubu voluntarily sought the citizenship of guinea.the guinean passport downloaded online is expired and expired document are inadmissible.he didn't even call the maker to testify nor any guinean to testify |

Lol Atiku the Cameroonian self dey talk. These guys know they never won any election so they are just using their followers to play. Show us the proof that you won the election, Atiku no fit. But instead he wants the court to disqualify the winner. |

Buhari disobeyed several court rulings that did not favour him.Yet the court never jail him.Are some human above the law?Even tinubu who was a drug pusher was not disqualify. |

Once you're a Nigerian by birth, dual citizenship doesn't stop you from contesting for elections. |

Revolution2022: So all the INEC election since 1999 that wasn’t uploaded online are not valid election? Your party agents across the country have the result with them. Why can’t they bring it forward if they truly won? Use your brain, Obi and Atiku just dey whyne their supporters. Obi the clownn once said “I won and I will prove it”, only for him to get to court and be praying for Tinubu to be disqualified and 25% Abuja nonsense. |

Section 28: 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. Section 137: (1) A person shall not be qualified for election to the office of President if - (a) subject to the provisions of section 28 of this Constitution, he has voluntarily acquired the citizenship of a country other than Nigeria or, except in such cases as may be prescribed by the National Assembly, he has made a declaration of allegiance to such other country. So Atiku's lawyers didn't see section 28 of the constitution? These SANs are overrated and overpriced. Maybe dem wan just chop Atiku. Lol 🤣🤣🤣 Once you're a Nigerian by birth, you can't be disqualified from contesting election because of dual citizenship. Tinubu is a Nigerian by birth. |
