It's only the president of Nigeria that has that clause of being a citizen by birth as a condition. The cable and Reuters have confirmed that he was born in British Cameroun as it was called then before a referendum move his town of northern cameroun as part of Nigeria. His birthday certificate is originally a camerounean.
In summary, Atiku is...,...,.
a. Camerounian
b. Nigerian
What's your answer?

A Camerounian by birth (prior to 1961)
A Nigerian by secession (1961 referendum)

The point in the 1999 Constitution is this.

1. A white man who gives birth in Nigeria can have that child contest for Nigerian president
2. A Nigerian parents who travelled to the USA or any country outside Nigeria to give birth, that child cannot contest Nigerian presidency

See how Nnamdi Kanu exposed their brother Atiku.

I laugh in swahili grin angry

My brother the thing is because when Umaru Dickson met with Zik in Aburu, Bukola saraki initiated the confrontation of Lord Lugard which is why Abacha and Donald Duke aligned with the 1930 consensus.

ha

The Ppl filing the suit are fools.
their advisers are fools.
The husbands and wives are fools
Now, Atiku has worked and earned salaries as a senior custom officer in Nigeria.

Atiku was a governor of Adamawa State.

Atiku was a vice President for Eight good years.

Atiku was the man behind the formation of the present APC

Atiku has served all these positions in Nigeria as a Nigerian and this people know, but because he is about to be sworn in as Nigeria's President, the APC now realizes he is not a Nigerian. useless sets of being

how was Atiku the man behind the formation of APC? people shallow for Nairaland sha. SMH!

CallofDuty:

The Incorporated Trustees of Egalitarian Mission for Africa has asked the Federal High Court Abuja to disqualify the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, Atiku Abubakar, from contesting the February 16 presidential election.

The group wants Atiku disqualified over alleged circumstances surrounding his citizenship.

The suit, which was filed on behalf of the group by Mr. Kayode Ajulo, is seeking an interpretation of Sections 25(1) & (2) and 131(a) of the 1999 Constitution.


The group named the PDP, the Independent National Electoral Commission, and the Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice as defendants in the suit.

It also wants the court to determine, “Whether Section 25 of the Constitution is the sole authority that spells out ways by which a person can become a Nigerian citizen by birth.


“Whether by the provisions of Section 131(a) of the Constitution, only a Nigerian citizen by birth can contest for the office of president.

“Whether by the combined interpretation of Sections 25(1) & (2) and 131(a) of the Constitution and given the circumstances surrounding the birth of Mr. Atiku, he can be cleared by PDP and INEC to contest for office of the president.”


The plaintiff, in the suit, said that if the court resolves the issues in its favour, it should declare that by the provisions of the 1999 Constitution, only a Nigerian citizen by birth could contest for president.

“A declaration that by the combined interpretation of Sections 25(l) & (2) and 131(a) of the Constitution and given the circumstances surrounding Atiku’s birth, he cannot be cleared by PDP and INEC to contest for president.”


In an affidavit deposed to by one Michael Okejimi, a legal practitioner in the law firm of Ajulo, the deponent averred that Atiku was born on November 25, 1946.

“That from Atiku’s own testimony that is gazetted and published in most national dailies in circulation, he is from Jada town in Adamawa and Jada used to be in Ganye Local Government Area in Adamawa.


“That Ganye is regarded as the mother of the whole Chamba tribe and was never part of Nigeria legally as at the date of birth of Atiku.

“That none of Atiku’s parents or grandparents was born in Nigeria and his father died a citizen of Northern Cameroon in 1957 prior to the referendum of June 1, 1961 that made Northern Cameroon a part of Nigeria.


The suit has, however, not been assigned to a judge.

Oh my lawyer nice one and pls can you tell me what the constitution of whatever year you called it says about:

1. Dasuki case
2. The Shiite leader case
3. Onoghen
4. Declaration of Asset. Etc......

Bro all the mess in Nigeria today are created by apc . Apc has bastardise this nation constitutionally and in management so let's live with it. Since Buhari is above the law then no one is compel to obey the law let's turn everything to banana republic of a thing.

But for Atiku case is too late now we will listen to that sometime later but for now we are voting Atiku so the nonsense 1999 pooh constitution can go to hell.

A leader must lead by example since Buhari is above the law then the case is null and void Ok oga lawyer.

When Nnamdi Kalu called Buhari Jubril

How many went to court

Fools in action

Merely saying Buhari is Jubril from Sudan without any facts is not enough to go to court with.

Here it is a fact that Atiku was naturally not born as a Nigerian. So he is not a Nigerian by birth but by naturalization after the Northern British Cameroon joined Nigeria in 1961.

And the constitution states that only a natural born Nigerian can be President. So the case has some merit.
