The National Rescue Movement has dragged the Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, to court over alleged possession of dual citizenship.
To establish its case, the party presented a picture and video recording of the presentation of the citizenship certificate to Obi.
Justice Inyang Edem Ekwo berated the plaintiff for failure to serve the originating summons on the defendants and thereafter fixed February 10 for mention of the suit. Ekwo threatened to strike out the case if the plaintiff failed to serve the court process on the defendant before the adjourned date. In a 14-paragraph affidavit in support of the suit, Obi was said to have voluntarily acquired Dallas citizenship and the certificate of citizenship presented to him by the Mayor of Dallas, Mr Eric Johnson.All rights reserved.
