Buhari Won Atiku’s Ward With Votes From Cameroonians – Femi Falana by ijustdey: 1:54am On May 06, 2019
Human rights lawyer, Femi Falana, has said claims by the All Progressives Congress (APC) on Atiku Abubakar’s nationality suggest that President Muhammadu Buhari enjoyed votes from non-Nigerians as well.

Falana explained that, saying Abubakar is originally from Cameroon implies that those who voted in his ward, including for President Muhammadu Buhari, are Cameroonians as well.

Atiku and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) are challenging Buhari’s re-election at the tribunal.

The APC had, in its response to one of Atiku’s allegations, told the tribunal that the PDP candidate is not qualified to participate in the presidential election because he is from former Sarduana province of Cameroon that later joined Nigeria through a referendum.

But Falana, while speaking at a press freedom conference the Premium Times Centre for Investigative Journalism (PTCIJ) organised in Abuja, said the APC accepted the results when Buhari defeated Atiku in the same ward in question.

“If Atiku is a now Cameroonian, doesn’t that suggest that those who voted for President Buhari in his ward for the candidate are Cameroonian citizens too?” he asked.

This Afonja man is always talking from the four-compass points of his mouth. He will be supporting Gen. Buhari in one breadth and would quickly switch side in another breadth. Do not take Mr. Falana-Where-Belly-Face seriously. He is hungry!

Speaking with sentiment


Sometimes I wonder if this man consults his brain before using his mouth.


The constitution is clear: there are 2 types of Nigerian

Nigerian By birth and Nigerian by naturalization

Every Nigerian can vote but not every nigerian can be a Nigerian President.


Falana speaking like this is a disgrace to his profession and comments like this is reckless coming from a SAN who should know better.


There is so much wrong in that comment that I don’t even know where to start.

Though I don't buy into this Atiku is not from Nigeria argument but Falana is entirely wrong in this case.
The argument here is that Atiku was born when his village was still under Cameroon and such he was born a Cameroonian and the Nigeria law says only Nigerian born citizens can vie for the president of Nigeria as I understand it.
Those of his wards Falana was talking about could have been born in Nigeria aftermath of referendum and so have the legal right to vote and be voted for as a Nigerian.
Again,no laws say non son of the soil can not vote in an election only that they cannot be voted for as it is practised in other countries.How some of these lawyers got their SAN is still beyond me.
