Tinubu finally admits dual citizenship claim in Presidential Tribunal as lawyers makes crucial demand

Abuja’s FCT:  In front of the presidential election petition tribunal, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu acknowledged that he holds dual citizenship with Guinea and Nigeria.
According to the Nigerian Tribune, President Tinubu acknowledged making this claim through his attorney Wole Olanipekun (SAN).
Olanipekun however informed the court that President Tinubu’s passport was a Guinean citizen and that it had already expired in 2020.
He stated that the petitioners’ supplied passport does not provide a strong foundation for the prosecution of his client. Tinubu’s attorney requests that the petition from the Labour Party be dismissed. Olanipekun additionally asked the five-member tribunal to reject the petition submitted by the Labour Party calling for President Tinubu’s resignation.
He accused the petitioner of deliberately attempting to embarrass the President instead of presenting a solid case and evidence. He said:

“Lastly, the PW27 tendered Exhibit PBF4 (Guinean passport), which as usual, he claimed to have downloaded from the internet, purportedly representing the data pages of the respondent’s Guinean passport, which ex facie shows that the passport expired in 2020. It is all guesswork, aimed at embarrassing the respondent.”
