Point of correction. A foreigner cannot be president of America. You have to be an American by birth. Thats why Arnold Schwarzenegger cannot be president of America. 3 Likes 1 Share |

Nigeria needs a totally different Govt. Most likely a foreign leader and foreign cabinet. One that doesnt belong to the north, south, west or east. Leaders that see the common issues and address them commonly. By then, citizens like the man who knows atiku's parents would have no reason to remember how he knew them. Only that way we can grow beyond biase, ethnicity, tribe and right to rule. Well said! |

A man who claims to be a close friend of Atiku’s parents, precisely his late father Garba Abubakar, alleged that neither of his parents was a Nigerian.
Avvording to a fresh documents filed by the All Progressives Congress (APC) before the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal in Abuja, the unnamed family friend gave details of Atiku’s early years and how his father died, the Nation reports.
The All Progressive Congress had earlier argued that the former Vice-President of Nigeria is of Cameroonian origin and not even a Nigerian by birth.
But in his response, Atiku said he was a Nigerian by birth because his parents were Nigerians.
“The parents of the 1st petitioner (Atiku) are both Fulani, a community/tribe indigenous to Nigeria.
“The 1st petitioner was born on 25th November, 1946 in Jada, Adamawa State by Nigerian parents and he is therefore a citizen of Nigeria by birth.
“The 1st petitioner’s mother, Aisha Kande was the grand-daughter of Inuwa Dutse who came to Jada as an itinerant trader too from Dutse in present day Jigawa State.
“The 1st petitioner’s father, Garba Atiku Abubakar was a Nigerian by birth who hailed from Wumo in present day Sokoto State while the mother, Aisha Kande was also a Nigerian who hailed from Dutse in present day Jigawa State.
But, in a statement filed by an APC witness, simply identified with the initials – ADM – the party repudiate Atiku’s claim.
The witness said:
“l, ADM, adult, Nigerian citizen of Adamawa State do hereby make oath and say as follows:
“That I was a close family friend to the 1st petitioner’s late father. I know the family and I am familiar with the 1st petitioner’s background: who was born on the 25th day of November, 1946 to a Fulani trader and farmer by name Garba Abubakar, from his second wife, Aisha Kande, in Jada village of Northern Cameroon.
“I know the 1st petitioner was named after his paternal grandfather, Atiku Abdulkadir and became the only child of his parents after his only sister died at infancy.
“I also know about the unfortunate incidence of the death of the 1st petitioner’s father in 1957, who drowned while crossing a river to Toungo. a neighbouring village to Jada in Northern Cameroon.
“I do know that the 1st petitioner has, in all his documentations that are made public in national dailies or official gazettes, stated that he hails from Jada town in Adamawa State, from Ganye Local Government Area, regarded as the mother of the whole Chamba ethnic group (Chamba tribe).
“I know as a fact that, as at the time the 1st petitioner was born on the 25th day of November, 1946 to a FulanI trader and farmer, Garba Abubakar, Jada village and other parts of Chamba land in the then Northern Cameroon, were still part of the British Cameroons and not Nigeria.
“None of the 1st petitioner’s parents or grandparents was born in Nigeria.
“The 1st petitioner‘s father died as a citizen of Northern Cameroon in 1957 prior to the referendum of 1st June, 1961 which made Northern Cameroon to become part of Nigeria.
“The 1st petitioner’s ancestral origin is deeply rooted in the then Northern Cameroon, not Nigeria and I know as a fact that the 1st petitioner is not a Nigerian citizen by birth
“I know that Ganye which incorporates the 1st petitioner’s birth place of Jada, was the headquarters of British Cameroons, but it joined Nigeria after the plebiscite.
“I know that Ganye was not part of Nigeria as at the time of the birth of the 1st petitioner; on 25th November 1946.“I am familiar with the historical antecedents of the birth place of the 1st petitioner.
“Ganye area had been entrusted to Britain by a League of Nations Mandate in 1919 and later as Trust Territory by the United Nations in 1946.
“With the defeat of Germany in World War I. Kamerun (as it was known at the time) became a League of Nations Mandate Territory and was split into French Cameroons and British Cameroons in 1919
“While France integrated the economy of its part of the Cameroons with that of the mother colonial France, the British on the other hand, administered its part (British Cameroons) from neighbouring Nigeria, making Jada, the 1st petitioner’s place of birth, a British franchise.
“I know that a plebiscite was held in British Cameroons to determine whether the people in that territory preferred to stay in Cameroon or unite with Nigeria.
“While Northern Cameroon preferred a union with Nigeria, the Southern Cameroon chose to align with the mother country.
“I know that on the 1st of June 1961, Northern Cameroon became a part of Nigeria and on the 1st of October 1961 the Southern Cameroonian territory dissolved and merged into the Republic of Cameroon.”

Wonders will never end in this country. Someone who has already formerly served in capacity of Vice President only now are they questioning his citizenship? Even if his parents are of Cameroonian origin, the fact he was born here, lived all his life here, has a Nigerian passport and has already served at such a senior level in our government is enough to remove all doubt about his citizenship. This whole thing reeks of desperation by the APC. But according to the constitution, only a citizen by birth can become the president. C'est fini! |

All scenario you painted happened based on law of the country. For instance, Obama was born on American soil which qualified him to be a president. Arnold (the actor popularly known as Commando) was unable to contest for president despite he was a Governor of California and considerably popular because, he was an emigrant. Mayor of London also fall into same quadrant.
