Same here, I am also not surprised at yours. You can't give what you don't have.

Hamzat is a Nigerian by birth, not by naturalization, so the issue raised here does not apply to him in any way.

Do you want this explained in your local dialect ni?

drugBaronTINUBU:

I have engaged u b4
So I'm not surprised the way u reason

Now I know why Nigeria is suffering from bad leadership because the constitution denied those with experience of what good governance is from contesting election in Nigeria.

Nigerians who are citizens of other countries should be allowed to contest and contribute their quota to the development of this country.

A Kenyan man name the Barack Obama who ruled the United States of America

Today an Indian is the prime minister of the United kingdom.

Nigerians have been elected mayors and counselors in different parts of the world.

Yet in Nigerian who is also a citizen of other countries is not allowed to contest election in Nigeria and this is the reason we are where we are today.

This is also the reason the wrong people overwhelmed with corruption and criminality voted into power even when the have nothing to offer.

they should allow the guy to contribute his quota to the development of Lagos State and Nigeria in general.

Mr President should do something about this useless constitution that doesn't favour those with renewal ideas to contribute to the importance to the development of Nigeria.

So? Rubbish trash
These brainwashed zomb idiotic fools.
I became a US citizen in 1992, there's nothing like renouncing Nigerian citizenship because both countries allow dual citizenship.
These Obi im@eciles are some of the dumbest animals on Earth.

Don't mind the brainwashed Obidients. I became a USA citizen in 2020, I don't see such. I am Nigerian by birth. And let somebody tell me I am no longer a Nigerian even if I acquire the citizenship in 100 countries. Obidients will dwell on this and when it is over, they will go to another one. It is a circle.

Do you Know that Peter Obi marginalized non Indigenes to the extent that they couldn't stand for ordinary Market association chairman in Anambra?

Stop living in fool's paradise, everything you are saying here is your hopeless imagination, it won't happen.

I think they just keep manufacturing these false hopes for their gullible brainwashed followers to keep them hanging around.
It's ludicrous the amount of false hopes they are giving these headless mob of Obi diotc imb@ciles.

LegendHero:


The actual wrong-doing is accusing a full blooded Yoruba man that he can’t rule his own because he is an American citizen? Do you guys think before talking?

By the way, the fullish man Peter Obi could not provide 247 power supply nor security in Anambla. If he had done that, he won’t be looking for stolen mandate everywhere, ya’ll would have just relocated to the paradise he built.

Shattap Dia! You shameless lots are always quick to defend illegality when you think it wont favour you. If this same issue came up against Peter Obi I'm sure you'll be happily masturbating about it.

Anyways, the law is no respector of persons and, whilst I don't care less who is governor in Lagos, it's evident that Sanwo Olu's deputy went contrary to the law. He'll lose the governorship whether you imps like it or not.

With all your claims of "sophistication, you yoruba people are a crude lot I have to say

Hanibal:


According to our constitution a Nigerian by birth does not have the power to renounce his/her own citizenship of Nigeria
Ask Nnamdi Kanu and his lawyers.

Did you also read where the same constitution frowned upon oath of allegiance to an entity other than Nigeria?.

I have gone through ucha vs onwe 2011 supra per tabai jsc.there is no such ruling except I am mistaken.
Well,on face value this sticks and hamzat is embroiled,even the courts are on a tight rope with this.this is why I tell you that obi case is watery,nothing is sticky.in the case of tinubu,he didn't voluntarily acquire citizenship of guinea while hamzat acquired voluntarily.too many escape routes for tinubu.but as you know,tinubu is president and he won't lose Lagos so they will find a way around it.

Yes this is a fact.

Even in practical demonstration of dual citizenship activities, US officials have Nigerian-Americans show their Nigerian passport at the airport if they have no nigerian visa on their US passport.

GO TO COURT

chidiokay:

1.These is pure a pre-election matter,

2. Just like Atiku nationality case, it will be another education exercise

3. Hamzat did not lie in his declaration form ... so i look forward to what the court will decide

It is also a post election matter and it is constitutional.i am afraid apc will lose Lagos except tinubu intervenes

ehissi:


Section 66(1)(a) of the Constitution of the Federal Republic,1999,(As Amended ), is clear and unambiguous that a person who voluntarily acquires the Citizenship of another Country, who is a Citizen of Nigeria by birth is not eligible for elections.

It is my submission that the operative word here is “voluntarily acquire the Citizenship of another Country”.

So you can be a dual Citizen of Nigeria by birth. That is to say you are born in another country and at the same time , one of your parents or grand parents is indigenous to a Community in Nigeria. This is the category of dual citizens that can not be caught by Section 66(1) of the Constitution.

Section 66(1) is clear and unambiguous and should interpreted literally as expected by the literal cannon of interpretation.
Section 28 only says you will not forfeit your Citizenship,but by the provisions of Section 66(1) of the Constitution you can not contest.

In the United States ,if you are not born in the United States you cannot contest for the Presidency.

It does not detract from your Citizenship.

So,the argument that Section 28 of gives you leverage to contest is not tenable as the being a Citizen simpli cita, does not qualify you to contest, except you meet other pre-requisites and one of the pre-requisites is as stated in Section 66 (1) of the Constitution.

The Provisions of the Constitution finds expression in Section 66 (1) which prohibits a person who voluntarily acquires the Citizenship of another Country from elective Office.

The cases of Ogbeide v. Osula and Labour Party v. Ishola, referred to by some analysts are Court of Appeal decisions.

The Supreme Court had decided in Ucha v. Onwe (2011) that voluntary acquisition of citizenship of another Country, prohibits you from elective Office in tandem with Section 66(1)(a) of the Constitution of the Federal Republic 1999,(As Amended ). This remains the Law according to the legal principle and tradition of following Staris Decisis (Judicial Precedence).

Nothing like that on ucha vs onwe 2011.agsin, subsequent amendments and issues Kay have overtaken it

I don't think this is an expose. It's been in the public domain already. His INEC declaration form is attached here where he boldly said he had acquired the citizenship of the US. So let's see what the judiciary will say about this.

Moh247:



This 30 years old boy no just get sense

Bunch of clowns

Atiku vs APC vs Buhari supreme Court case already settled issue of Nationality during 2019 election Tribunals

As long as one of your parents or grandparents is a citizen of the Geographical location of Nigeria, you are a National


.

That Hundeyin na biggest Mumu, he should have gone to dig up Obiano’s American citizenship.

Never heard such nonsense before, that you must renounce your Nigerian Citizenship to acquire Yankee passport?

leanonme82:


And there was even a precedent before this case that had the exact same judgement. Bukola Saraki was taken to court for being a british citizen and he won, because his parents are Nigerian.

acquiring a British citizenship a renouncing your citizenship are two different issues, I don't know about the saraki case but I know people who hold dual citizenship, but in this case he renounced his there is a strong difference between both scenerio.

I don’t know why an Iyanmili person will be gnashing his teeth for something that’s happening in Yoruba land. You people no get shame?

It’s like me as a Yoruba boy crying that Enugu governor no get NYSC certificate and bla bla bla. Wetin concern me?

Sanwoolu and his deputy will use their 8 years and another governor will be elected in 2027. Una Yebow loser should stop getting high blood pressure over nothing.

him acquiring the e us citizen may not be the damning issue, but you renouncing your Nigerian citizenship, renouncing means your legally declare that you are not a Nigerian anymore I think tha is the issue not and not necessarily his dual citizenship.

Saraki won because he was born abroad. Hamzat went there to Naturalise as an adult....

2 different scenarios, hamzat is entitled to the privileges and rights as any normal Nigerian except the right to vie for public elective office in Nigeria and the right to contest for President in the USA.

Trust me, GRV lawyers have Sanwo Olu and Hamzat in a very difficult place, it is GRV's case to lose......

You are dead wrong. This will get trashed and you can take that to the bank all day long. No case here.

That requirement does not apply to any Nigerian CITIZEN BY BIRTH. It is not the first time this is brought forward by political losers in a bid to get in through the back door and it has never worked anywhere in Nigeria.

Corporate2020:



In the INEC form that the deputy governor filled out and submitted, he stated there that he has acquired citizenship of the United States of America. So, it is not hidden. He must have gone through the Constitution of the Federal Republic with the best lawyers in Yoruba land before filling out the form and declaring his true citizenship of the USA.

No court in Nigeria can remove the governor of Lagos State while EMilokan Tinubu is the President and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed and Unarmed Forces.

Now we know those that on the payroll. U speak with so much authority. But like somekne said, it is about denial of allegiance to other country than than the u.s.

Shattuck:
him acquiring the e us citizen may not be the damning issue, but you renouncing your Nigerian citizenship, renouncing means your legally declare that you are not a Nigerian anymore I think tha is the issue not and not necessarily his dual citizenship.

Nonsense waste of time, Obidients forever chasing shadows, just now you have forgotten Tinubu’s Guinean citizenship, it is now deputy governor Yankee book una wan wail over?

True,the court may say it refers to citizens other than birth.i think hamzat should resign and backdate it

Maybe you don’t reside in Nigeria?

Hundeyin has given free food to the children of hate and perdition to feed on for the next two weeks.
