The National Rescue Movement has dragged the presidential candidate of the Labour Party in the 2023 general election, Peter Obi to court over alleged possession of dual citizenship.

In the suit marked FHC/ABJ/CS/1842/2022 at the Federal High Court, the plaintiff accused Obi of acquiring citizenship of Dallas in Texas, United States of America in contravention of Sections 1 and 137 of Nigeria’s Constitution.

Defendants in the suit are the Independent National Electoral Commission, Obi and Labour Party as first to third defendants respectively. The plaintiff is praying the court for an order to disqualify Obi from the presidential race on the ground of breach of the 1999 Constitution and asked for an order of perpetual injunction restraining INEC from recognising, dealing or affording him any right or privilege to stand for the presidential election.

Hmm! Yesterday Alhaji Atiku was a Cameroonian, and not qualified to contest; by a group but today; Alhaji Atiku is a Nigerian - and qualified to contest. Who is/are sponsors of these groups?

Mad people everywhere 🤣🤣

As long as he was born in Nigeria, he is covered by the law. He is untouchable!!!

The group must be full of worthless individuals if they don’t know that Nigeria allows DUAL CITIZENSHIP! Lawan and Gbajabiamila has dual citizenship, none of them lost their seats!

I support any legal proceedings that will stop Peter Obi from further embarrassing Nigerians as a presidential candidate. Nigeria's presidential candidate should never be added to his credential.

Some people get mental problems sha,you have not called for the disqualification of the one who is is an ex convict,who forged age and school certificate and you are here ranting.

Awesome news. He has no allegiance to Nigeria.

They didn't seek disqualification for a drug baron o

Obi is a GOAL. His speechchatham house is a threat to them all

Awon werey, honorary citizenship is different from acquired citizenship.

Obi is a big threat to the elite politicians. They only know they can’t stop him from winning this election. The senate president Ahmad Lawan has dual citizenship, the governor of Ekiti state Kayode Fayemi also possess dual citizenship, and many more.

😂but ppl r saying dis man is not a threat why asking for his disqualification from d race,seems jungle don mature finally
