| Atiku's Aide Responds to Reports of Tinubu's Dual Citizenship |
Daniel Bwala, the spokesperson for Atiku Abubakar, presidential candidate of the People's Democratic Party (PDP), has reacted to the reports of President-elect Bola Tinubu having dual citizenship. Bwala expressed confusion as to why Tinubu, if he had dual citizenship, would contest for the presidency.
This allegation of dual citizenship is the latest controversy surrounding Tinubu, with some of his critics arguing that dual citizenship disqualifies him from the presidency under Section 137 of the Constitution. It is alleged that Tinubu holds a Guinean passport.
In response to the controversy, Bwala took to Twitter to question the implications of having dual citizenship while running for president. He also expressed skepticism towards the excuse that Tinubu's passport had expired, stating that the expiration of a passport does not negate one's citizenship status.
The issue of Tinubu's alleged dual citizenship has caused a stir in Nigerian politics, with many questioning the implications it would have on his presidential aspirations. As the controversy continues, it remains to be seen how it will impact Tinubu's political career and the 2023 presidential elections.
