The All Progressives Congress has told the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal in Abuja that the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party in the February 23 presidential poll, Atiku Abubakar, is not a Nigerian.
The APC was replying to the petition of Mr Abubakar and the PDP, praying the tribunal to declare him as the lawful winner of the presidential election. The party averred that Mr Abubakar was born on November 25, 1946 in Jada, Adamawa, in Northern Cameroon and was therefore a citizen of Cameroon and not a Nigerian by birth.
The APC specifically said that the issue of the educational qualification of Mr Buhari as raised by Mr Abubakar could not be treated by the tribunal.It maintained that the petitioners failed and neglected to use the appropriate period to challenge the validity of the educational qualification of Mr Buhari.
You mean this defence is from a SAN?
Your dead body is even more better than their living soul, Mr. Atiku
Those saying Atiku is not a Nigerian, that man in Aso rock is he buhari,or is he a Nigerian too,this a man who came all the way from sudan
Hahaha
Yes we heard that
Hehehe... 😂. APC should fire the 'brilliant' lawyer that thought of this. Ehen! So, Atiku is not even Nigerian?! Not sure if I should laugh or be sad that it has come to this.
I think we need to peg the age of those that can contest for positions to a reasonable age that cannot be affected by dementia. This administration are making old age look horrible and tarnishing the glory of grey hair.
Next Level Cluelessness
If atiku is not from Nigeria me too I'm not from Nigeria.
But some people say the other candidate is dead and buried. That that the man parading himself is an impostor from Sudan. Who do we believe now
As it is, we hope APC will present a bill to the 9th Assembly to excise Adamawa state from Nigeria and return it to Cameroon!!!! Over to you, Comrade Oshiomole!!!
Obama is a Kenyan but he led almighty USA. Make them find another excuse Biko!
Am I a Nigerian? What about you? Yes! it is time for us to go our separate ways. After all, these was nothing like Nigeria before the amalgamation in 1914. Buhari is from Sudan. Thanks to Nnamdi Kanu who started all these and the APC is playing game.
Who are these misguided political tools of mischieves We are tired of your idle talks; yet he was VP for eight years.
This is a no case because atiku has every evidence to proof he is a Nigerian. It's a no case in any court
Atiku became a Nig Citizen d after d plesbicite same way the man and person fr Kano became a nigerian on amalgamation of Northern Nigeria. D add of Jada to Nigeria was even more legitimate. Shld d ple of Jada now a Nig territory go to Cameron they rejected to claim citizenship?
:The APC/INEC's Failure To Investigate ATIKU's Ancestry1st,Before GrantingHim An Approval;Is A Proof Of INEC's Maladroitness.
Then, Buhari must reliquinsh power because, his 2015 election victory has a Cameroon collusion/influence because, he was sponsored by Cameroon with Atiku as their agent. So Buhari must step down for accepting foreign support/ influence in our election
If Obama from kenya can become President of America, then Atiku Abubakar of Cameroon can also become President of Nigeria. Just like Jibril from Sudan, too. 😂😂😂
Expensive JOKE OF THE YEARS. BUT(POLITICS) think about the rhythm and not just arbitrary.
Quite hilarious!
A very weak and unreasonable defence.
Avoiding the main issue. JokeOfTheDay
Alasan Quattara of Ivory coast had that experience........
We know atiku is not a Nigerian, but guess what...we are tired of Nigerians!
How did he become the comptroller general of the custom
This people sha
Is Buhari not a foreigner as well?
The fact that he had spent over 60 years of his life in Nigeria and also posses Nigeria passport qualifies him to be a Nigerian if at all the allegation is true. Brainless lawyers representing brainless APC
Wow... APC government believe this cock and bull story, but they swipe away the fact that buhari is from Niger... Am just passing......
As ridiculous that atiku is not a Nigerian at birth sounds,it’s left for our law court to decide. We have a lot of Lebanese in Kano with Nigerian Passports , can They contest for presidency ? ,NO.
But he was a Nigerian when he was Vice president? APC edakun, eya arayin ni brain now
The opposition can do better. This is absolutely a child’s play
Oga has gone to Chad o to secure something
Hmmm so this is what APC can up with in defense at the tribunal? Chaiii
Thank God they've nothing to tell the election tribunal. You can now see the kind of people we're dealing with. Bunch of animals.
Suddenly the APC lawyers have become brainless like Buhari. Being a Nigerian or not is a pre-election matter and out of the jurisdiction of the elections petition tribunal
so obviously Atiku won!
I support MBuhari and I’m happy he defeated atiku but I don’t support this statement. It’s divisive.
This is a non-issue for those who know their history. A baseless charge and one that is an affront to a large number of Nigerians from the territory in question.
Is that so... Is that all you've got to say? So tell me, how did a foreigner come to be our one time vice president
But he was a Nigerian before the elections, how on earth did he suddenly become a Cameroonian less than two months after the presidential election? This latest observation by APC get as e be o! Nigeria we hail thee.
APC! What's ur point? What's to like about this story? Well, human stupidity is infinite. Imagine Nigeria without these idiots - APCNigeria . For 1 thing,ur leadership are clueless & want it to be known that they disclaim all responsibility for us. There's no hope in this govt
REALLY?
This is too petty
Which means Nigeria does not even exist in the first place!
This is totally absurd.
This has to be a joke, right?
How can you suddenly realized dat Atiku is not a Nigerian, re rose to become a sn. customs officer, then a Governor elect, vice president for 8yrs, he contstd 4 pres. under ACN, contstd pry under ur party & lost in 2015, funded ur campgn in 2015. By 2019 is now a foreginer Haba!
This is getting more interesting! This is a clear indication APC know they are losing the legal battle! God intervene for Nigeria!
So, this is level Festus Keyamu can reach, it's unfortunate
MaryBernstein14 Fools in re playing a script that ll ruin there image forever...big time fools
It is funny that APC is looking for an excuse for them not to face the tribunal as regard to 2019 general election, they should look for something more serious and not defending impunity with trivialities
Shame on you APC this party is evil MBuhari OfficialAPCNg
Very weak defence you can perceived a loser from the start, going by APC defence we should cede the entire Northern region to either Chad, Niger, Mali, Cameroon and Sudan because that's their ancestral home. APC should come up with something serious and defend their fraud.
Is that so?
A sudanese should not govern either
Lol... APC r a bunch of hypocrites, they dislike Nnamdi Kanu but they like his sense of reasoning . Yeye they smell
Really? 😂😂
let's deport this nuisance so we can have peace.
How come he was Nigeria's vice president under obasanjo?
So this is their defense?😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
