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 likes. 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 and Bar exam excellence have no business there! Politics shouldn't be a career! Neither is clout chasing!

Pemco:


The issue here is that Tinubu swore on oath that he doesn't have dual citizenship. In the form he filled and submitted to INEC, he stated that he didn't have dual citizenship. So, he lied on oath. Everything about him is questionable.

Chucks13:


Just leave those slowpoke who can not reason properly.

I had told them they are all fools, if Tinubu lost it Atiku is the next to pick it and no one will take it from the North and that is all the North want so obi want to start fighting Atiku ba?

Very useless people who can not think well.

It is impossible to defend Tinubu without looking stupid.
As intelligent as Fashola is, see how he is making mockery of himself because he wants to defend Drug Daddy

PureFace1:


Just because Fashola and Tinubu are political allies doesn't mean he will know everything about Tinubu.

You guys are so desperate looking for things to disqualify Tinubu lol, I thought the Drug case is enough to disqualify him you guys sound so sure but after your propagandists figured out it is going to be a futile endeavor they have to figure out another propaganda to keep the hope and unrealistic dream alive.

Vivianat:
My President Elect Asiwaju Jagaban Bola Tinubu GCFR.

May your reign usher unparalleled prosperity to our nation.

TemplarLandry:
BRF is so intelligent. I watched the whole thing live!

FatimaAbubakar:
No amount of face-saving techniques can erase the dirty fact about the old Guinean drug pusher called Bola Tinubu aka Amuda Yekini.

datola:
But what does Tinubu need a Guinean Conakry passport for

fayomim:
If APC loses the seat, then Atiku is getting it or will Obi petition Atiku again

Vivianat:
My President Elect Asiwaju Jagaban Bola Tinubu GCFR.

May your reign usher unparalleled prosperity to our nation.

Man from Guinea wan rule Nigeria.

tomax026:
NOBODY CAN BE SENSIBLE, AND SUPPORT A CONTROVERSIAL MAN/DRUG LORD/FRAUDSTER TO BE HIS PRESIDENT.
ONLY FOOLS CAN BE PROUD OF THAT.

meum:
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

derecho:
Nothing about Tinubu is correct.
Anyways, we can't be distracted by Inspector Fash of LekkiMassacre.

All eyes on the Courts because
Tinubu will NEVER be Nigeria's President

TemplarLandry:
BRF is so intelligent. I watched the whole thing live!

Didi2d:


During the election, an ibo guy said here on nairaland that he prefers Atiku to win than Tinubu.
That's the level of hate they have for Tinubu, they are trying to bring everything possible just to discredit Tinubu.

Well, I hope he comes out victorious

MT:
If you were born in Nigeria, you can contest into any elective position even if you hold a dual citizenship but if you acquire Nigeria citizenship by Naturalisation, once you hold a dual citizenship, you cannot be voted for in any elective position. Fashola was correct.

Read this:

Even the appellate courts in Nigeria, have emphasized on this in the following words;

1. “… it is clear and I hereby hold that the acquisition of dual citizenship by a Nigerian per say is not a ground for disqualification for election to the National Assembly particularly where the Nigerian citizen is a citizen by birth. That is the clear meaning of the provisions in sections 66(1) and 28 of the 1999 constitution when taken together. The only Nigerian citizen disqualified by the said sections is one who is a citizen of Nigeria by either registration or naturalization who subsequently acquires the citizenship of another country in addition to his Nigerian citizenship…” Onnoghen JCA (later, Chief Justice pf Nigeria) JSC) in the Case of Dr. Willie Ogebide v. Mr. Arigbe Osula (2004) 12 NWLR Part 886 page 138 paras C-E.

2. “… when a Nigerian by Naturalisation or Registration acquires the citizenship of another country he loses his right as a naturalized Nigeria. Such a person would not be able to contest any election into any elative office in Nigeria. However, a Nigerian by birth who thereafter acquires the citizenship of another country i.e. America as in the instant case does not lose his right to vie for any elective office in Nigeria being a citizen by birth and not by naturalization or registration.” Per, MUDASHIRU NASIRU ONIYANGI ,J.C.A ( Pp. 18-23, paras. F-A ) in the case of LABOUR PARTY & ORS v. ISHOLA & ORS (2014) LPELR-24386(CA)

Hence, dual citizenship cannot prevent any Nigerian citizen by birth from voting or being voted into any elective position or being appointed into any position or office in Nigeria. However, dual citizenship will prevent any person that became a Nigerian citizen by registration or naturalization from being elected into any elective position in Nigeria. Citizenship by birth is ultimate and superior to any other form of citizenship and there is not limitation to it.
