BREAKING: Tinubu’s Guinean passport is “diplomatic passport”, Embassy confirms

Declines to provide details

The Embassy of the Republic of Guinea in Abuja, Nigeria, has confirmed that the Guinean passport purportedly belonging to Nigeria’s president-elect, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, is actually a diplomatic passport.

The Guinean Embassy made the confirmation following a Freedom of Information application written to the diplomatic corp by News Band correspondent.

The application entitled “Freedom of Information Act Inquiry over Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s Guinean citizenship” sought to obtain information on the passport which has been trending online.

The application reads in part: “The Freedom of Information Act 2011 of the laws of the Federation of Nigeria is an Act to make public records and information more freely available, provide for public access to public records and information, protect public records and information to the extent consistent with the public interest and the protection of personal privacy.

“On the basis of the above-mentioned subject, I write to obtain detailed information on the attached document attached below which has been trending online for some time.

“According to the document, Nigeria’s president-elect, Bola Ahmed Tinubu is a citizen of Guinea, besides being a citizen of Nigeria.

“Can you kindly clarify the said issue to enable me provide accurate information to the reading public?

“I will appreciate your doing in line with the Freedom of Information Act.”

Responding, the Embassy of the Republic of Guinea stated that “the diplomatic passport is issued only by the Presidency of the Republic.”

It, however, failed to “confirm the authenticity of this passport.”

The Embassy wrote: “We inform you that in the Republic of Guinea, the diplomatic passport is issued only by the Presidency of the Republic.

“Therefore, we regret that we cannot confirm the authenticity of this passport.

“To find out more, we invite you to send us an official request via the Nigerian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, accompanied by a copy of the passport in question that we could send to the competent authorities in Guinea to verify whether the person concerned has benefited from the Guinean nationality.”

In reaction, News Band informed the Embassy that its “response was more of a smokescreen than a response”.

The applicant averred that it does not behoove on him to approach Guinean Government through the Nigerian Ministry of Foreign Affairs since “it is clear that issuing passports is an internal affair, hence, has nothing to do with my country’s Foreign Affairs”.

He maintained that he has already sent a copy of the passport in question as an attachment to the email, asking: “Do you expect me to go and collect the original from the purported holder, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, who is currently “resting” in France?”

He reminded the Embassy that since he made no mention of “diplomatic passport” but the fact that the Embassy went ahead and confirmed that the passport in question is in circulation and that it is indeed a diplomatic one “is in itself an affirmation of some sort”.

Finally, he warned the Embassy that if within the next seven (7) days, as stipulated by Freedom of Information Act 2011, he still does not receive the desired response, he will approach a competent court of jurisdiction for redress.

The Embassy is yet to respond to the latest averment.

Fulani using Yoruba brains to get whatever they want in Nigeria.

Las las, na Yerima Shettima of the boko fame will be una president. While Fulani have pitched Yoruba against Ibo in tribal skirmishes, by fraudulently declaring Tinubu the presidential election winner, they have also surreptitiously set up the Drug Daddy for destruction.

We are just watching. Will those who call themselves Nigerians ever wake up? No. Why? Their mumu will never do.

Place of birth doesn't matter in passport mostly if you are in naturalisation or getting diplomatic passport.

Do you have an evidence that the News Band correspondence that wrote the letter is a Peter obi supporter

Are you implying that no Nigerian without any political leaning can seek to get clarification on issues of national importance

Honestly, I don't know what is wrong with you Tinubu toxic crowd of supporters

Giving the headless mob something to rant about I think is a deliberate strategy by Tinubu’s camp to keep them busy.
The mandate bandits should keep ranting until Tinubu is sworn into office come May 29 by the special grace of God
Tinubu’s silent treatment and attitude towards the headless mob for me is the most trilling ever

Shutup jare, Is Tinubu in government, does Tinubu hold any Public office, besides Tinubu is not answerable to Buhari neither does he needs Buhari consent or permission to collect diplomatic passport

Poverty and inexposure is why Nigeria are gullible and push around like cow... how many Nigerians even have a standard knowledge of Nigeria passport and what authentic one should look like

Peter Obi and his media dogs don see some Nigeria youth finish... that is why they easily sway gullible minds like obedience easily like breeze carry nylon
Even ariseTv oseni, Abati & medias don't know what diplomatic passport be and these are people sensitizing headless mobs.
The good part is, it is even Guinea embassy that is schooling so called africa Giant. Obedience are just bringing shame to Nigerian youths

Always moving from one fooooolish narrative to another.
Una don tire to remind us that the North will never handover power to a southerner, even a day before the APC primaries they kept jubilating that PMB have betrayed Tinubu. After Asiwaju emerged victorious from the primary they changed the narrative that PMB and northern power brokers have given support to Atiku. It was so bad that PMB became the loved boy of the obidient camp celebrating PMB for allegedly betraying Tinubu.
I’m trying to imagine the pains of being an obidient
