Always have.


Of Court?
Not true.
They are tied to the same umbilical cord... If anything hits Hamzat now, Sanwo-Olu is gone.


1. These are pre-election matters and have expired.

2. An Appeal Court has cleared Obi hence a lower Court will do nothing.

3. These are intra-Party issues and no other person except aspirants who participated in the Primary can sue.

4. The APC or any other Party has no jurisdiction.


For the Primary issue of citizenship, obtaining a citizenship of another Country does not invalidate your Citizenship by Birth in Nigeria. The only problem will be if Hamzat did not tick the box!

A key case by the Appeal Court in Labour Party & Ors v Ishola & Ors in 2014 is similar.

Mudashiru Oniyangi JCA (now retired) put it succinctly:

However, a Nigerian by birth who thereafter acquires citizenship of another Country i.e. America in the instant case, does not lose his right to vie for any elective office in Nigeria been a citizen by birth and not by naturalisation or registration. cc Penguin2

OmoFiditi:
British passport allows for dual citizenship. American passport DOES NOT. Lo gba research.

Sanwo Olu and Hamzat ran foul of the law. They have been illegitimate since 2019.

soccerlite:
You should find out what renounce or naturalization means first

Let me emancipate you

Naturalisation is, however, a conscious decision to become a citizen of a foreign country by sending an application to the relevant government authorities or head of state.

Go study

Nice2023:
But he never renounce his Nigerian Citizenship.

Penguin2:
Now have you asked why his case failed?

Have you asked if it was properly instituted?

Have you asked if the person that instituted the case had the locus standi to do so?

Saraki’s case was taken to court way after the window for such redress had elapsed.

Again, it was instituted by a meddlesome interloper.

Get your facts right.

Ajagunakin:
You don’t have to renounce your Nigerian citizenship to be a Naturalised American citizen. Not sure what this nonsense rantings is all about.

But don’t kee yourself on top Lagos matter. Sanwo-Olu will finish his second term and there is not a damn thing you can do about it

Penguin2:
Meanwhile, good to see that the courts have adjudicated on the matter before up to the Appeal Court. Let’s see what the Supreme Court says (though I don’t expect them to give any judgment against Tinubu😏).

Lastly, Hamzat actually indicated his American citizenship in the form he submitted to INEC.

It will deal with his credibility if he delegates someone.

senatordave1:
That means the constitution was referring to those Nigerians that are citizens other than by birth..

That's appeal court,the apex court hasn't ruled on it.i believe sandy took crs deputy to court over this issue...

You don't renounce any Citizenship to become a US Citizen
US recognizes dual Citizenship and so does Nigeria

This is from the US Government Website



Learn from people who are better than u and stop being foolish ok.



No wonder you want to deport Yorubas from Lagos Yorubaland

Thank Almighty God you Lost Gbadebo Rhodes

If he indicated it, then he has no problem at least for now.

The SC has always run away from this citizenship issues but I know they have to deal with it now.

fergie001:
Yes


Yes, though both (Sandy Onor & Cole's cases) clothed their reasons in jurisdiction: internal affairs of a Political Party.

The SC have always dodged it but I know they can't run away from it now.

Penguin2:
Was Ishola a governor or deputy governor?

seunmsg:
Everyone that acquires American citizenship by registration or naturalization swear to the same oath of allegiance. Ishola in the decided case and Hamzat swore to the same oath of allegiance. Irrespective of the oath they swore, they both remain Nigeria citizens with full rights of a Nigerian. You guys should stop arguing over what is as clear as daylight.

Mynd44:
Actually, you are wrong again.

It was only in the 2022 electoral amendment that only candidates or aspirants can challenge the credentials of candidates and aspirant (This is stated in Section 29(5) of the Electoral Act 2022)

Case example here include the case against David Lyon and the fact that the late Chief Gani Fawehinmi challenged (then governor) President Tinubu's credentials.

Christistruth03:
Saraki the Senate President was a British Citizen

donphilopus:
Please why is this thread still on politics section? Why not delete or lock the thread? The guy posted false information here. The IREV portal is still active and I believe you can confirm it yourself.
