Johnmary Jideobi, a lawyer, has approached a federal high court in Abuja to challenge the eligibility of Atiku Abubakar...

May 31, 2022 5:11 PM

In the suit which also has the PDP and the Independent National Electoral Commission listed as second and third defendants, Jideobi posed two legal questions for the court to determine, after which he sought seven principal reliefs.

In 2019, a group, the Incorporated Trustees of Egalitarian Mission for Africa, had filed a suit marked FHC/ABJ/CS/177, challenging Atiku’s eligibility to run for president on the premise that he is not a Nigerian citizen by birth.

atiku The pre independence Nigerian Colony and Protectorate or Federation of Nigeria are not the Nigeria contemplated by this Constitution. To be born outside Nigeria is to have been born outside the Federal Republic of Nigeria as defined by the Constitution.

atiku Where are they when he was vice President, some like wasting their energy on nonsense. Ask the lawyer how come Atiku got Nigeria national Identity card. Let's be guided pls.

atiku There is only one definition of Nigeria in the Constitution. The definition of Nigeria consisting of 36 states and the FCT is unambiguous. We're not at liberty to import into the constitution any definition of Nigeria that is different to that defined by the constitution itself.

atiku His body language is threat to democratic normative tradition. Do something about it.

atiku Supported 100%
