Tribunal: I’m Drug-free, Unencumbered By Identity Scandals Like You, Atiku Tells Tinubu - Latest News
In the response filed by his lead counsel, Chief Chris Uche, SAN, the PDP presidential candidate justified why the declaration of Tinubu as President-elect cannot stand, adding that against the law, “Tinubu holds dual citizenship of Nigeria and Guinea, having voluntarily acquired the citizenship of the Republic of Guinea.”
The petitioner while admitting that Tinubu may be a “Titan and a Maestro”, he, however, said that the “President-elect is certainly not a titan and maestro in national stature but in controversies such as age, state of origin, identity, educational qualifications represented by certificates obtained from universities and colleges.”
“The comparison of the second respondent with the first petitioner who had attained the eminent position of Vice President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria for eight years is totally unfounded,” he said.Justifying his request for the annulment of the declaration of Tinubu as President-elect, Atiku said that Tinubu and APC never won majority of the lawful votes cast in the February 25 presidential election.
He insisted that the return of Tinubu as the winner of the 2023 presidential election was undue, unlawful and invalid because Tinubu did not meet the constitutional requirements as to qualification.
