Oyo State governor-elect Senator
Abiola Ajimobi has said the decision of
the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to
challenge his victory at the Election
Petition Tribunal sitting in Ibadan, the
state capital, would be an effort in
futility.
Ajimobi spoke yesterday in a
statement by the Publicity Director of
his campaign organisation, Mr. Yanju
Adegbite.
The PDP had on Wednesday urged the
tribunal to nullify Ajimobi ’s election,
alleging that he holds the citizenship
of the United States of America (USA).
It said possession of dual citizenship is
against the provisions of the Nigerian
constitution for governorship
candidates.
Ajimobi denied the allegation, saying
Governor Adebayo Alao-Akala and
the PDP were embarking on a wild
goose chase.
He said the social security number,
which the PDP claims confirms his
citizenship, is given to all legal
residents of the United States.
Ajimobi said: "Anyone living legally in
the USA is issued a social security
number. It is not a symbol of
citizenship of the country.
"The allegation shows the level of
ignorance, mischief and desperation
of the losers. I assure the good people
of Oyo State that I am not a US citizen. I
am a full citizen of Nigeria.
"The petitioners have always failed in
their attempts to truncate the wishes
of the people and they will surely fail
again. It is unfortunate that people are
abusing the court process with
falsehood."
The Nation
gathered from a reliable source at the
Independent National Electoral
Commission (INEC) that another
petition filed by the Action Alliance
(AA) against Ajimobi would not
succeed because INEC deliberately
omitted the party’s logo from the
ballot papers for failing to meet all the
requirements for the governorship
election.
The source said: "They did not meet
the legal obligations for the election.
The party did not file all the required
documents; neither did it hold any
primary supervised by INEC. That is
why the party ’s logo did not appear
on the ballot papers used for the
election."
Ajimobi said he was not bothered by
the petitions because they were
unfounded.
