ElsonMorali:
Stupid, really.

A plebiscite was conducted and they opted to become Nigerians.

Was there further need for registration or naturalisation to properly become Nigerian or what?

That nonsense won't wash. Go look for other excuses, like he's a wanted criminal in the US of A.

By the way if this is true then it is an indictment against the INEC for allowing a foreigner contest Nigerian elections. Also an indictment on Nigerians for having a Cameroonian be vice President for 8 solid years.

Shame on us all then.

Abba Kyari, Chief of Staff to President Muhammadu Buhari on Tuesday told the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal that the presidential candidate of the PDP, Atiku Abubakar, in the Feb. 23 general election is a Cameroonian “flesh and blood’’.

Kyari, who was led through his deposition by Chief Wole Olanipekun, SAN, Counsel for the president, insisted that Jada, hometown of the former vice president was in Adamawa Province, an enclave that belonged to Northern Cameroon in 1946 when he (Atiku) was born.


He explained that Atiku was already born in 1946 before the plebiscite was conducted in 1961 to balcanize Nigeria and Cameroon where Jada which was part of Northern Cameroon voted to become Nigerian territory.

Kyari further said that the plebiscite also resulted in the Southern part of Cameroon officially aligning to becoming Cameroonian territory.

The witness, therefore, said the French system of assimilation had compelled people of Jada, including Abubakar’s father and grandfather to be full Cameroonians in “flesh and blood’’.


On the status of Buhari Certificate, Kyari said he had personally gone to collect the Cambridge University West Africa Examination Certificate of the president on July 18 for further proof.

“I can confirm that I was the one that collected and signed the Cambridge University West Africa Examination Certificate on behalf of the president on July 18, 2019,’’ he said.

Buhari and his party, the All Progressive Congress (APC) had urged the tribunal to dismiss PDP’s petition for fielding a non-Nigerian to contest the presidential election.


They submitted that the Constitution had foreclosed the participation of non-Nigerians in the County’s election.

They further argued that it did not matter if the provision was not tested when Atiku was selected to be the country’s vice president.

The president and APC had therefore invited the tribunal to do the needful by dismissing all the allegations made by the petitioners against Buhari’s victory.


The respondents further submitted that it was inappropriate for a non-Nigerian to contest or challenge outcome of the Feb.23 presidential election.

Also testifying was Retired Gen. Paul Tarfa, who said Buhari was he enlisted with Buhari into the Officer Cadre of the Nigerian Army on April 16, 1962.

Tarfa explained that English Language was the medium of instruction, adding that Buhari had achieved an enviable record during the military training.


He listed some of their colleagues to include Brigadier Ola Oni, Maj:-Gen. Durojaye, Col. J.C Ojukwu, Late Brigadier Shelleng as well as Late Maj:-Gen Musa Yar-Adua.

He said the conduct of the promotional examination in the military was always done in the merit, adding that Buhari had always come out in flying colour.

On his part, Malam Suleman Mai-adua, Buhari’s classmate in Katsina Provincial Secondary School in his evidence in chief, said, they graduated from the school with Cambridge University West African Examination Certificate in 1961.


The witness, who came to court with a group photograph of the class six of 1961 set and their principal, was able to spot himself and Buhari in the picture.

Earlier, the tribunal admitted a total of 26 documentary evidence from the president through his counsel, Olanipekun.

NAN listed the some of the exhibits to be 19 Certified True Copies of Newspaper publications.


The respondent also tendered the APC Roadmap to a new Nigeria as evidence.

The others are: Cambridge Assessment International Education Certificate for Muhammadu Buhari obtained in 1961 and Receipt of the above document.

The tribunal also admitted as evidence, a Certified-True-Copy of Confidential Result sheet of the University of Cambridge West Africa School Certificate 1961 for Katsina Provincial Secondary School showing names of candidate who attended sat for the examination.

Another set of evidence included the class six group photograph of Katsina Provincial Secondary School taken in 1961 and news publication of June 22, 2015 of the above photograph.

Also tendered and admitted was the Curriculum Vitae of the second respondent (Buhari) which was duly signed by him.

Furthermore, the tribunal admitted a commendation letter on Buhari signed by the Commandant of the U.S. Army War College delivered to Lt:- Gen. Alani Akinrinade (Rtd) in June 1980.

However, Dr Livy Uzoukwu, SAN, Counsel for the Petitioners objected to the admissibility of the all the materials but had reserved reasons to the address stage.

Justice Mohammed Garba, Chairman of the tribunal, thereafter adjourned proceedings until July 31 for continuation

Do you know that Atiku “had no right to be voted for and returned in the election to the office of President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria held on Saturday 23 February, 2019, having regard to the clear provision of Section 131(a) of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria (CFRN) 1999 as amended, which unequivocally stipulates inter alia, that for a person to be qualified for election to the office of President, he must be a citizen of Nigeria by birth.
“Atiku is not a citizen of Nigeria by birth and ought not to have even been allowed, in the first place, to contest the election. From available records, Atiku was born on the 25th November, 1946 in Jada, Adamawa, in Northern Cameroon, and is, therefore, a citizen of Cameroon.
“His father was Garba Atiku Abdulkadir, who died in December, 1957. Prior to 1919, Cameroon was being administered by Germany. “But following the defeat of Germany in World War I, which ended in 1918, Cameroon became a League of Nations mandate territory which was split into French Cameroons and British Cameroons in 1919.
“British Cameroons was administered by the British from neighbouring Nigeria.
“In 1961, a plebiscite was held in British Cameroons to determine whether the people preferred to stay in Cameroon or align with Nigeria.
“While Northern Cameroon preferred a union with Nigeria, Southern Cameroon chose alignment with the mother country.
“The transition took place on June 1, 1961. It was as a result of that plebiscite that Northern Cameroon, which included Adamawa, became a part of Nigeria, and by derivation, the Atiku became a citizen of Nigeria, but not by birth.
“Atiku, therefore, contrary to the assertion in Paragraph 1 of their petition against Buhari had no right to be voted for as a candidate in the election to the office of President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria held on 23rd February, 2019 across Nigeria,” what we are said is that the court should dismiss the Atiku petition, base on the fact that Atiku did not qualified to contest the election, all the votes purportedly cast for the Atiku at the 23 February, 2019 election and as subsequently declared by INEC on the 27th of February 2019, were wasted votes. If you vote for PDP in the last presidential election, your vote in invalid

pjc:


You may have misunderstood my point. Am not being partisan here. Doesn't matter which party. Jada already has voted to become citizens of Nigeria, that alone makes Atiku a Citizen. In addition this same person has numerous investments within the country providing labour to thousands of people. How many persons have Abba Kyari empowered in Nigeria? Who is more Nigerian between these two people? For me, so long as one has the interest of the people at heart, that alone qualifies him to be citizen...not those using the Citizen title to find ways to milk the country dry.

jrusky:
And Mr Kyari pls Buhari is also from where?


Bro if you claimed Atiku is a foreigner fine but I guess you remember **Buhari Biological father is full blooded Niger Republic a Normadic**and gave birth to Buhari in Nigeria soil same way Atiku was given birth to in Nigeria soil pls what is your argument

Bro foreigner is foreigner in as far your biological parent are foreigner so Mr man shut da f u c k.

Better both Buhari and Atiku should pls honourable vacate our Aso Rock and vacate anything called politics in our country anything short of that apc can go to hell.

Abba Kyari can't reason properly.

So after the plebiscite the status of the Jada people didn't change? Even after the plebiscite had made them Nigerians by birth?
They should not use other things to defeat the man, not the citizenship matter.

id911:
If we are really serious, this kind of useless news is not supposed to make front page

three:
Lol

First off,

PARTS of Jada were in British Cameroon, PARTS.

A map of the old British Cameroon and Nigeria shows this clearly.

Second,

The 1999 admits all laws and decrees (barring annulment/reenactment by Parliament/National Assembly) in previous constitutions prior to it as legacy constituents of the 1999 constitution


The 1963 constitution therefore is part of the 1999 constitution.

The 1963 constitution adopts the plebiscite held and passes citizenship by birth on all citizens of the former territories of British Cameroon that joined Nigeria.

Atiku is coming...

if you forever believe a news from an ipob ming pin that means there is no different between you and ipob who believe nonsense like Oduduwa the god who created only the Yoruba universe

TruthinAction:


That doesn't stop the fact that PDP won the election. If it is proven he does not have the right to context, the victory goes to the party and they can replace him with another candidate. But he just said that as they can't defend the allegations that they rigged the election.

this abba kyari's statetment wont go down well with some of our brother from FAR EAST. (if u know u know) PDP! PDP!!
