No amount of face-saving techniques can erase the dirty fact about the old Guinean drug pusher called Bola Tinubu aka Amuda Yekini.
O he's not from Iragbiji again? May Tinubu not run you mad 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Yes. Looking at the way Fashola talked about Tinubu here, Fashola can't trust Tinubu on anything, and not proud of Tinubu.

There are limits to which one can stake his reputation for another especially for a person with endless baggages

Can you kindly show me where it says Presidential candidates with dual citizenship are disallowed from contesting?

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/President_of_Nigeria

Eligibility

Chapter VI, Part I, Section 131 of the constitution states that a person may be qualified for election of the office of the president if:[38]

They are a citizen of Nigeria by birth;
They have attained the age of 35 years (40 before 2018[39]);
They are a member of a political party and are sponsored by that political party;
They have been educated up to at least School Certificate level or its equivalent.
A person who meets the above qualifications is still disqualified from holding the office of the president if:

They have voluntarily acquired the citizenship of a country other than Nigeria (except in such cases as may be prescribed by the National Assembly) or they have made a declaration of allegiance to such other country;

They have been elected to such office at any two previous elections...etc.

I think the same constitution he is referring to is very explicit on the issue of dual citizenship on whoever aspires to become president

Wow! Coming from a SAN: “I will check. But I doubt that the Nigerian constitution makes you disentitled if you have dual citizenship, because the constitution allows you to have dual citizenship” All I can say is that he is only trying to dodge the question

What does the Constitution say about the President having dual citizenship….pls tell us since you know so much about it.
Does Obianor who ran away to the United States after his second term In Anambra have dual citizenship?
One would imagine that whatever applies to a President also applies to a Governor?! Pls clarify SIR!

I have been thinking about this.

I think each case will be treated on its merits. To give an example. A person was given a passport by a foreign country to enable him escape persecution. If that person later wishes to stand for President in NG will they be barred?

The bolded suggests that the act must be voluntary while the second part of the restrictions aims to explain what "voluntary" looks like? Which is to formally take an oath of allegiance which a priori would enable them to be called up to even wage war on their country of birth.

Let me make this real. Someone I know was ambassador at large for an African country and represented them in certain situations as they could not afford to fund embassies everywhere. He had a diplomatic passport. I do not think such a person would be precluded from the NG presidency because it did not involve the taking of an oath of allegiance to that country.

Fashola didn't answer the question because you've got to provide proven facts first, not trash! Fashola is a legal practitioner who knows this! As a matter of fact, he also pointed out other propaganda trash that have been circulating..

Just as Fashola stated, dual citizenship doesn't stop anyone from their elected position. The so called dual citizenship was even issued recently and has expired. So, how is it a problem? Obi recently had Dallas citizenship which hasn't even expired, did that stop him from contesting? Much ado about nothing.

Anyway, social media needs to be restricted like South Korea and Japanese do. Writing trash in the name of Cloutshasing shouldn't be a career. This is for David hundeyin and his ilks. In saner clime, such people would find themselves in prison! Same David hundeyin was sent out of Oxford university for fraud! That's a sane clime.

Some worthless talentless people would just come on social media to write trash for clout chasing.. In a sane clime, such people would found their useless ass in prison! Imagine the nonsensical social media craziness these days.

Anyone without a certified journalism degree with registered media house has no business writing trash! Even at that, you have to come correct! Lots of things need to be in place TBH. Even our legislators who don't have law degrees, Bar exam excellence and experience as a legal practitioners have no business as legislators! Worse is some of them don't even have careers at all. Politics shouldn't be a career! Neither is clout chasing!
What are you even say?

If the constitution of Nigeria allows an individual to have a dual citizenship, how about lying under oath, denying one doesn't have dual citizenship, when one actually has? Lies will always beget more lies in chain reactions. This tongue-twisting must stop.

It is aleady a given that to become Nigerian president, one has to be Nigerian by birth...thus the assertion that the 'not a dual-citizen' stipulation applies to Nigerians who initially became Nigerians through registration or naturalization, is illogical and redundant.

1. First of all, when you are having scholarly argument, you are forbidden to quote wikipedia as a reference because literaly anyone can edit it. Any scholarly article will not reference Wikepedia.

2. The judgement from the appeal court quoted above is clear as a daylight. Let me quote a particular part of the Judgement for you:

"That is the clear meaning of the provisions in sections 66(1) and 28 of the 1999 constitution when taken together".

This means you cannot quote section 66(1) of the constitution in isolation but you need to quote both 66(1) and 28 of the 1999 constitution together to get a meaningful understanding. This was the judgement of the appeal of court. Read the Judgement in its entirety.

Citizenship by BIRTH has no limitation even if you voluntarily have a DUAL citizenship. Case closed.
