IT surfaced early yesterday that Senator Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the ‘president-elect’ holds a Guinean passport in addition to his Nigerian version. Now, that is no offence at all. Many conscientious and responsible people across the globe have dual nationalities and proud of it too. Many international footballers hold dual or even more citizenships.
However, Tinubu is not a footballer, neither just an ordinary folk. He just contested a presidential election in Nigeria whose Constitution clearly prohibits anybody with dual citizenship from contesting.
So, I had to investigate the source of the expose for authenticity. When it landed on the desk of the very diligent investigative journalist, David Hundeyin, I stopped doubting the authenticity. It became clear that Tinubu committed a serious criminal offence of perjury by lying under oath in the INEC personal data he filled and submitted to the electoral body that he had no other nationality besides Nigeria’s. But Tinubu’s Guinean nationality is so national because his Guinean passport is the diplomatic cadre. Give Hundeyin due credit. He is like a shark, once he smells blood, the victim is a goner.
Remember somebody cloned PO’s passport just recently. Then within same period another of Tinubu’s numerous crimes surfaces, this time involving a diplomatic passport. Is it a mere coincidence? I don’t think so, rather I seriously believe that when you keep your hands clean in all endeavours, God Himself fights your battles. This time He used Hundeyin.
The incurably repulsive Tinubu army should once again deal with this one. Where is Festus Keyamo to lead another session of lies? Almost everything about Tinubu stinks. And he’s destroying personalities along his wake!
