The party among others alleged that the presidential candidate was not fit and qualified for the highest office in Nigeria on account of his dual citizenship. In the suit marked FHC/ABJ/CS/1842/2022, the Labour Party candidate was accused of acquiring citizenship of Dallas in Texas, United States of America in breach of sections 1 and 137 of Nigeria’s Constitution.
In a 14-paragraph affidavit in support of the suit, Peter 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.

Olodo papa itiboribo! Why didn't you put the 'honorary' before the citizen? Obviously you don't know the difference between honorary citizenship and full citizenship. Park we'll joor
You people should know that in APC government none of them have sense at all. Because of that they did not have that is the reason why they kept this Nation in poverty for long
Arrant nonsense! Some people with their small unrecognized dead on arrival plots sponsored by their pay masters thinks they have an edge over the chosen one. Dem still dey play
Unknown Movement.. Fear Of New Nigeria.. Envy Og Igbo Man Will Kill One Nigeria
Austinemark79 You, people, don't even know what to say anymore. Obama was a dual citizen and he rules America. Leave Obi alone oo! Or God will deal with you guys.
Is that a problem?
Awon promoters. You are doing well
Citizen of Dallas 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Awon promoters. You are doing well
😠😠😠😠
Before you choose to vote against our collective desire for a better Nigeria ponder on this thought. Vote wisely
Dual citizenship is allowed in nigeria
The enemies of progress. Shame shame shame ...shame
In favor of a drug dealer.
What is National Movement, rubb... All we need is Military take-Over joor
😁😁 una go die on top this man matter 😂😂😂
e bi like say Las Las all the presidential candidates no fit to run. With allegations following them like flies.
Them go meet for court
Thrash
Desperate for FREEDOM. NnamdiKanu is more valuable to us then peterObi presidency. Can you beat that?
Thunder fire that Movement group
Hahahaha!!! Ignorance... Most of our judges are dual citizens themselves. They know what the law says about it.
SOWORE Zukwanu ike. Nobody will vote you to be president. Go and contest for councilor in your village first.
What of biafran citizenship?
Is not news at all...
See how this man is making adults think and talk like children everyday.
They must be high on something from Pablo Escobar
But for PO’s emergence, we were actually supposed to have been considering loaning a Foreigner from somewhere, maybe Germany or Japan to come lead us! Shameless eediots.
Every day you will see all manners of comedians which one be this national movement biko nu..
National Movement my foot ! Mumu and senseless people. You people should disqualify him now. Mad people everywhere,
As long as he was born in Nigeria,your suit will not work,the worst that can happen is for him to renounce his other citizenship after he wins the Presidency.
The man is a threat to them all and everyone is running scared and now begging for him to be disqualified by all means🤣
If the only glimmer of hope is disqualified, who are we going to be left with?
The same thing they said to Atiku last four years, and yet they are voting him this year... Nigeria government na scam
Don't dare God it is dangerous. Peter has no fault
Desperate APC contractors on the rampage against Labour party with festus keyamu attacking Atiku,the money APC people embezzled under 8years of Buhari is too heavy that they are desperate to retain power at all cost and avoid a new party government that will obviously probe them
Is dual citizenship a news in Nigeria? All the mules and heartless leaders have that, even some common Nationals. Say something more important, this is just fear of eminent defeat
This people are just wasting their time. The Almighty God will continue to turn their wisdom into foolishness in Jesus name.
I thank God my incoming President Peter Obi is a Nigerian citizen, a honorary USA citizen and he is not corrupt or a thief on the other hand Tinubu thief nobody knows where he is from or where he was born, Atiku is from Cameroon and no one knows anything about him, he is a thief
Dear Obidients Nigerians they are scared!
All of you are moving mad
As is causing more pains 2 them he's sweeting us. Obidents are in the 6 geopolitical zones warming up 2 take back our country from political corrupt movement. God will not allow our Labour 2 be in vain.Oh Lord continue to disappoint the enterprises of evil and corrupt politicians
More like National Eediots
Atiku has dual citizenship. Dubai and Nigeria. You need to disqualify him too.
Baba Dubai and bobo Chicago na Wetin den get?
So a Fulani man is not a dual citizen? What of a man not comfortable to show his roots but wants our vote? Air heads
This doesn't hold water😅
Madness. What is wrong in having a multiple citizenship not even dual. Sad people that can't afford to have dual citizenship are complaining.
All Nigerian youth wants is Military take-Over plz zero
Jokers
I national movement!
Where have you guys been over the years when Femi Gbajabiamila n Lawan Ahmed holds the 3rd n 4th position in the Country till date? Listen, if PO even get ALL the Citizenships in the world ehn? He'll be Our NEXT PRESIDENT by God's grace because ENOUGH of the THIEFINGS in Naija
YeleSowore go and focus on your own campaign. Leave Peter Obi alone. We want to be proud of this GREEN PASSPORT again. If can't join us to achieve this, then leave our matter alone.
What's wrong in having dual citizenship?
He's a threat to them all. They're having sleepless nights and confused day because of This Man of Steel
Ahhhhhh This man messed up big time chai. They did that to wyclef in Hiati that year,they benched him and the reason was just too simple, They asked him why did u left the country when u know we are to savage it together and now u want to become president,sorry niga you can't.
Foool
But they should leave a drug Barons, no certificate, no age verification, no trace of Origin
Lmaooooo over dual citizenship 🤣🤣😂😂🤣😂, they couldn’t find any case of theft/embezzlement so they focus on this. What’s a joke. NigeriaDecides2023 PeterObiForPresident2023
Is the abuse of court system by politicians in Nigeria that baffles me and the fact that Nigerian courts entertain all this nonsense because of money just to throw the whole case away after milking the situation is just sad
This is Obi's last card before election,he will just jejely organise unknown group to disqualify himself then blame it on apc, his camp will just move back to their origin (pdp) and everybody will go home with cash at hand 😂😂😂😂 simple as APC
Isn't the founder of Saharah Reporters a US citizen? I'm just asking for my friend
Leeemmmmaaaaaooooo.
Yes. This is true. Can’t have another country’s citizen as Nigerias President
They’re doing everything possible to stop Obi. They feel the heat but trying to act tough then go behind to look for how to pull him down. Obi cuts across tribe and religion but they rather confine themselves to it.
Not for stealing or for drug, but for dual citizenship 😭😭😭😭🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
This man they say is a minority but they will not allow him rest. Why are they not attacking Kwakwaso like that?
It's getting wesser
Nigerians don't realized that Nigerians by birth are allowed to be citizens of any countries and still be eligible for any political offices in nigeria. That is one of the red flag in nigeria constitution. So is not peter obi's problem is your constitution that allows it.
Lol
This wicked people .. God will shame them
All this mumu quota system intellectuals. An Honorary citizen is not the same as obtaining dual citizenship. Honorary citizen is worthless and baseless. And moreover a Mayor of city does not have the constitutional power to confer American citizenship on anyone not even the POTUS
So you comparing it with drug dealing scandal of tinubu and atiku of embezzlement records...? Hmm .... Those of you enjoying this bad governance, harsh economy system of the day in exchange of the Nigerian masses sweat and sufferings,. Shall not live to see good 9ja.💥
🤣 National Rescue Movement. An organization hasn't been able to rescue anything for the past 8 years suddenly springs to life over Peter Obi. I wonder which candidate's money is funding this frivolous lawsuit.
I no be Obi fan, but 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 this is funny. If I were anybody, I'd focus on my own campaign right now. Obi is clean. Datti is clean. Almost everyone in LP is clean. But being clean alone is not a quality for good governance. Focus on winning, not disqualifying another.
lol una be mumu oooo,Sowore we be dual citizen nko? if you don't have any news to tell you will raise Peter Obi to get traffic abi,election will soon come and end and we will see what you will write again yeye media outlet
Who be National Movement self?
Dual citizenship not a crime.
Better, please that will give us Biafra sooner.
Why this desperation to get him off the way? I tot you guys said he can't win his polling unit? Anyway, for your info, Dallas is not a sovereign entity and the so called citizenship of Dallas is not recognised by any law. Your attempt to get Obi disqualified is dead on arrival.
😆😆😆😆😆
National Monument of knuckleheads and dunderheads 🤣
Awon werey,even the one wey dey lead us currently no be dual humans?
😂🤣😂🤣..Kai.. Grasping at straws.. Atifku is not disqualified for being a known THIEF and corrupt individual, Tifnubu is not disqualified for lying about age, certificate,school,drug dealer,a THIEF,it's now Obi..una really dey craze ooo
Supported!
No election in Biafra land put call 📞😤
Buhari that is from Niger republic nko?
national movement 😀😀
Which one be National movement Again ? Abi na Tinubu's Movement ? Lol 😂😂😂
I pity the next Igbo candidate that will want to be president of Nigeria through any of the major parties we have in Nigeria. In fact no present Igbo politician will pass the test. The media will fight you like they doing to PO.
When is Showore doing his campaign 🤣🤣🤣
Obi doesn’t hold dual citizenship of any country
Them go soon accuse PeterObi of denying Jesus Christ 3x, a whole 3x
If this is true, then there is a case for it. According to Nigeria's laws, dual citizens cannot run for office of president.
😂😂😂😂 The same useless movement haven't ask court to disqualify a drug lord running for president. Ndi ara!
If corruption didn't dey, e didn't dey. Make una continue.
This suit is either borne out ignorance or fear by the opposition. An honorary citizen, which was bestowed on PO whom the bestowing authority considered admirable is just a symbolic honor DT doesn't change citizenship. D action is dead on arrival.
does that really mean, we are all looking for solution to restore our dying nation. the ones that has full citizenship what has they offer?
Hehehehe hehehehehe
They no disqualify Tinubu who has: 1. 4 birthdays, 2. no classmates, 3. DRUG TRAFFICKING AND MONEY LAUNDERING HISTORY 4. Fake stolen IDENTITY Na PO WEY get dual citizenship they want to disqualify 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 UNEMPLOYMENT is seriously dealing with Nigeria.
Your evil plan is dead on arrival. Obi is your next president, wether you like it or not.
Sorry to say this, those filling this case are not learned. Is honourary citizenship not different from ordinary citizenship. Section 137 (1)(a) subject to the provisions of section 28 of this Constitution, he has voluntarily acquired the citizenship of a country other than 👇
So Obi is the only candidate with dual citizenship? 😂🤣 you guys are not serious
Those ones that claim they are the First Lady of a country but their true country is dubia nko una Dey ment
As this people dey chase PO liadis for physical who knows thousands of arrow they done trow at him spiritual to no avail...God of all creations pls even if is the only thing you do for Nigeria this year biko give us PO and keep protecting him
No body is a saint
Am not obi supporter but we have gone past this stage these people should rest it’s doesn’t make sense
The same Sowore
I saw this tweet and immediately saw the news of Peter Obi becoming the president. I suppose vex but suddenly joy cool me down. It's happening already! Peter Obi for President2023! PeterObi4President2023
Joke of the year
Why! Whether you like it or not Petter Obi is the next president.

Highest joke of the day. Ndi ara.

Una finding an innocent soul wanting of nothing. When last APC led government through it agency officialEFCC investigate officialABAT. Una must be careful in this country.
😂😂 I thought he should be disqualified over alleged stinginess. Yeye people.
You people are mad!
APC movement you mean What is National movement? Do they not hear about Tinubu's drug cases or Atiku's marine float company..? Why do I hear about this funny funny organizations only in your reports? Hmmm
Awon werey National movement ti won mó ibi ti won move lo. Awon eleribu
Free publicity.
Having a bad day? Cheer up with, 'All I want to do is dance....'
They should also sue him for going to toilet😤 PeterObi4President2023 ObiDatti2023

Lmao 🤣 When person no get corruption case all this kin BS go begin fall out!
Useless movement power by APC has run out of content. 🤣🤣🤣
Dear Obidients, we are holding the streets, we are making progress, we are holding it down, they have nothing again to say, if we can come this far, we can get to finish-line, be courageous, be resilient... it will not be easy, but we can make history, for our good..🖒💪

When you write this type of article, it is essential to provide context to your readers regarding the honorary citizenship status of a US city. Being bestowed with that status does not make Obi a dual citizen.
Desperado at work!
Honourary citizenship is nothing but a prize of distinction
Oloriburuku Niyi
🤣🤣🤣🤣, as e dey sweet us e go dey pain Dem. As e dey pain Dem e go dey sweet us
Imagine, madness at it PEAK!
Akuko idu na oba

Before na biafra but that one know work now it is dual citizenship we dey watch
It's either we go back to regional system of government or we divide this country peacefully for us to go out separate ways.
How far Obama ?
National movement did not ask for Tinubu's disqualification for drug trafficking,it did not Ask for Atiku's disqualification for alleged corruption but it's asking & demanding for obi's disqualification for a mere dual citizenship allegedly.
Why are this people funny
😂🤣😅😂🤣😅😂🤣😅 Everybody na comedian for this country! basket_mouth & officialBovi, una no go get work soon.
😂😂😂😂
Jokers u all came late
This must be Adamu Garba's handwork, it has his imprint: Justice Ekwo thereafter fixed February 10 for mention of the suit and threatened to strike out the case should the plaintiff fail to serve the court process on Peter Obi before the adjourned date.
National Rescue Movement? Rescuing what from what? 🤣🤣
SUG presido i hail oohh🙋♂️🙋♂️ Chairman CEO national movement only you😱😱 just dey play hmm🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

How this honorable man who they said has got no 'structure' has managed to bring down their so called 'structure' needs to be studied. Vote wisely.
National movement means Sowore
What is the merit in this? Or just another tyranny of litigation and abuse of court processes.
Not for bribing or corruption.
Punitive cost should be awarded against them so they will choose their fight well next time cus this matter is frivolous
Ndi igbo just dy play, no election in biafra land.
Go and verify... THEY'RE MUSLIMS...
This is laughable
Madness.
Try ham hennn. We Dey wait for una

Quite pathetic that an Igbo man will agree to be used to do the hatchet job against his brother... Smh
Odolo go and research about honorary citizenship it was even awarded to him last year and Obi no be mumu, he knows that it won’t affect him.
Disqualify theses ones first
Have they disqualified the drug lord?
You will move in vain.
Nonsense, that's a honorary citizenship which is awarded and not gotten by way of residence, just like a person being given a honorary degree by a foreign university.
Lol 😂😂 Funny people
LMAOOOOO These people have tried everything 😂😂
Joke of the century 😂
Scam candidate
Have they asked the court to disqualify politicians who stole public money? Bunch of busybodies! Some Nigerians are extremely wicked!
Story 😂
They did almost the same thing to Daniel in the Bible. The Presidents, Governors, Princes, Counsellors, & Captains all ganged up against Daniel bcos he was highly favoured & King Darius found him fit for the job. Daniel 6:1-5. God disgraced all the enemies & they were consumed.
When he was a governor, the Dua citizenship no show.
That means Atiku and Tinubu will be disqualified too🤕
Which one is 'national movement'? Lazy people everywhere
Dual what.
This sowore Sahara reporter are foolish and senseless so dual citizenship is now a crime😂😂😂 this Peter obi is too clean I swear from being a stingy man to discussing about dual citizenship Peter obi has come to stay ❤️❤️
😂😂😂national this national that
Faceless group. They will try harder and still fail. They didn't call for the disqualification of a drug baron or a known looter. Obi is better
Gather Here let's clap for discoveries. What we the movement discover next?
Your mum never do?
He deserve to be disqualify cause he don't even know what he were saying at Shan... invited for an interview yesterday. What a shameful moment!
If you check well this is what happens to God's elect there are just looking for a way to lay hands on him but this time is failure, failure, failure, I see the same thing happen to our Lord the Christ that is my opinion 🙏
😂 Sowore dual citizenship, Obi dual citizenship, Buhari dual citizenship, dual citizenship, Tinubu dual citizenship... Who will disqualify who.
SOWORE tell you wife & son to renounce their US Citizenship, since you guys want to be stupid with junk journalism! How does this imply dual citizenship?
Story
