The Senate President, Dr. Bukola Saraki, has said that a copy of his United Kingdom passport that was
recently posted online was forged.
Saraki, who said he had contacted his lawyer in the UK to write relevant agencies on the issue, called for a
thorough investigation into the matter.
A scanned copy of a UK passport carrying the identity of the Senate President has, for weeks, been
trending on the Internet. It was published alongside a report that alleged that he had sworn an oath of
allegiance to the UK.
But Saraki distanced himself from the passport, though he admitted that he had a UK citizenship.
“Saraki, on July 19, 2015, instructed his solicitors in the UK to write the UK Home Office to commence an
immediate investigation into this act of criminality. There is no doubt that this is a typical criminal offence
against the state and also an act of defamation of character against the President of the Senate. Whoever
is found responsible should be prosecuted,” Saraki said in a statement posted on Facebook on Sunday.
The statement was signed by his Special Assistant on New Media, Bamikole Omishore.
The former Kwara State governor was responding to a report by an online media that, being a dual citizen,
he is not qualified to hold a public office in Nigeria.
The report alleged that Saraki intentionally avoided stating his place of birth while filling the Independent
National Electoral Commission form in order to conceal his UK citizenship.
But the Senate President argued that his United Kingdom citizenship did not disqualify him from occupying
a public office in Nigeria.
In a tweet, he said only those who “voluntarily” acquired foreign citizenship could be disqualified.
He said his British citizenship was acquired by birth and not “voluntarily,” insisting that he was qualified
for any political office. He argued that the foreign citizenship was an “inalienable right” which he could not
have forfeited.
“There has always been a flawed misconception on the issue of dual citizenship vis-a-vis a holder of
public office in Nigeria. Section 28 of the 1999 Constitution (as amended) deals with this; it highlights the
fact that only those who are Nigerians by registration or naturalisation shall forfeit their citizenship if they
acquire the citizenship of another country.
“It is important to state that the requirement to forfeit Nigerian nationality/citizenship upon acquisition of
the nationality/citizenship of another country does not apply to persons who are Nigerians by birth within
the definition of Section 25 of the Constitution. This section also acknowledges and protects the right to
hold citizenship by birth of another country.
“Citizens of a country by birth do not need to swear to an oath of allegiance to that country. It is only a
citizenship acquired through naturalisation and registration that has the requirement to take an oath of
allegiance,” he continued on Facebook .
According to him, there is no evidence that he swore an oath of allegiance to the UK. He said that he had
never denied holding the foreign citizenship, adding, “A dual citizenship does not mean that a public office
holder had changed his nationality in the past.
“It simply means he has held both citizenships simultaneously without the need to acquire one after the
other. As both were acquired by birth, the Senate President automatically had both citizenships bestowed
on him from the moment of his birth.”
Meanwhile, reports of the visit of former President Olusegun Obasanjo to President Muhammadu Buhari, in
Aso Rock, went viral on social media on Sunday. Many said Buhari, being new to democracy, had a lot to
learnt from the former leader.
Tweeting on the visit, one Amid Sali said, “Obasanjo has much experience any leader who wants to
succeed can tap from.”

The Office of the Attorney General of the Federation has responded to a suit
seeking to stop investigation into alleged forgery of the Senate Standing Orders
2015.
Specifically, the office of the Attorney General faulted a suit filed by Senator
Gilber Nnaji, seeking to halt investigation into the alleged forgery.
The Ministry of Justice’s opposition to the suit is contained in the notice of
preliminary objection filed through its Director, Civil Litigation, Mr. Taiwo
Abidogun, asking the court to strike out the suit for not disclosing the personal
interest the plaintiff seeks to protect.
Deputy Senate President, Ike Ekweremadu, has been at the centre of the
controversy of the allegedly forged Senate rules used for the election which
produced Bukola Saraki as the Senate President and Ekweremadu as his deputy
on June 9, shortly after the proclamation of the 8th Senate.
The police had, in the course of investigating the forgery allegation, invited some
principal officers and management officials of the National Assembly for
interrogation.
Nnaji, who is Ekweremadu’s co-senator from Enugu State, had filed the suit
asking the court to stop the police investigation on the grounds that it “is
inspired by a devious petition by the Secretary of the Unity Forum Senators,
solely aimed at unjustly incriminating the office of the Deputy President of the
Senate.”
But in its preliminary objection, the Ministry of Justice contended that the
plaintiff had not shown sufficient interest which conferred on him the right to
institute the action.
“However, in the light of the foregoing, we submit that it will be in the interest
of justice for this matter to be struck out in its entirety as the plaintiff’s suit
has not disclosed or shown that he has any personal remedy arising from the
disclosed cause of action that exceeds that of Senator Ike Ekweremadu or the
Senate as an entity. We urge your Lordship to uphold same,” a written address
accompanying the ministry’s notice of preliminary objection read in part.
The address added that Nnaji had no justification for instituting the suit since
he was only inaugurated as a member of the Senate after the alleged forgery
had taken place.
It read, “My Lord, by paragraphs 16 and 24, most especially paragraph 24, the
said standing orders, the subject of the investigation, came into the hands of
the plaintiff (Nnaji) for the first time when the House was inaugurated.
“How then can the plaintiff be justified in challenging the investigation into an
allegation that occurred prior to his inauguration and how has it affected his
interest?
“We further submit that this is a suit that should rightly be instituted by the
Senate as an entity or, better still, by Senator Ike Ekweremadu whom by the
plaintiff’s affidavit at paragraph 27 is identified as the ultimate targeted of the
petition.”
The police, joined as the first defendant in the suit, had also filed similar notice
of preliminary objection contending that Nnaji lacked the legal competence to
institute the suit.
Justice Gabriel Kolawole on August 4 fixed September 8 for the hearing of an
application filed by another senator, Suleiman Hunkuyi, seeking to be joined as
a defendant in the suit.
The judge, who threatened that the report of police investigation would be
nullified if it was discovered that the action had been taken on the investigation
after the suit was filed, also ordered that the suit be transferred to another
judge, Justice Adeniyi Ademola, who would take over as the vacation judge on
August 10.

President
Muhammadu
Buhari will
order an
investigation
into contracts
involving the
procurement of
weapons for
the military under the Goodluck Jonathan administratio .
The Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Garba
Shehu, disclosed this while featuring on a Channels Television programme,
Politics Today, on Sunday evenin
Shehu spoke a few days after the immediate past Chief of Defence Staff, Alex
Badeh, said he led a military that was ill-equipped.
A former National Security Adviser, Col. Sambo Dasuki (retd.), had also said
while some weapons and equipment procured by the administration of former
President Goodluck Jonathan were used to fight insurgency during the latter
days of his tenure, some others were still being awaited.
The presidential spokesman said Buhari was interested in taking stock of every
naira that left the national treasury and for what purpose.
He said Nigerians were aware that books were already being checked and the
exercise was not limited to the oil sector.
He said, “The President is interested in every penny that leaves the Nigeria’s
treasury.
“As you are aware, records are being checked right now, not only in the oil
sector, but also in the various departments of g overnment.
“So, Mr. President is really interested in what has happened to the equipment
that have supposedly been bought and supplied, some of which might be there
on the ground or might not be.
“Only a thorough audit will actually reveal this. The disclosure has been made
about substandard (equipment) in the Nigeria’s fight against Boko Haram.”
Shehu reiterated Buhari’s desire to urgently end the activities of the Boko
Haram sect.
While saying that normalcy is gradually being restored, the presidential
spokesman noted that there is currently no territory in the control of Boko
Haram.
“The insurgents have been degraded. They are in disarray without a central
command and coordination,” he declared.
Shehu said the President would not send troops to the warfront without
ensuring that they are properly equipped and taken care of.
“Just on Friday, at the National Defence College, Mr. President was committing
himself to the fact that our military will be well taken care of in terms of their
welfare, in terms of their equipment and in terms of the motivation they need to
confront these insurgents.
“We are already beginning to see the fruits of this because as we speak right
now, Boko Haram is in disarray.
“And what we are witnessing now; that is, occasional bombings and suicide
attacks, characterise only one thing globally. And that is that, the dying days of
the insurgency. It’s just a matter of time, we’ll get there,” he said.
