Politics / Re: Ajumobi Is An American, So Akala May Still Be Governor Of Oyo State by mikiontop: 4:49pm On Jan 18, 2012
Eziachi or what ever your name is, I want to use this opportunity to warn you to stop circulating fake and unverified information about people you know nothing about. Chief Dr B.M Amalaha is till alive. Let me remind you that the man in question also contested for the federal house of representative and still won afterwards. This is how you fake bloggers cause problems with you fake stories.
Dr. Amalaha is still alive, he is retired and lives here in the United State of America with is family. I am forwarding this rejoinder to the owners of this forum and we the Amalaha family demand an apology for this insult to our family. 
Amalaha P. Emeka.




Let me give you guys a gist from the past that has a small bearing to this case. After the 1979 gubernatorial election in the old Imo state. Chief Sam Mbakwe was the governor elect but after the swearing in, both the GNPP candidate (Chief Nnanna Ukaegbu) and his NPN counterpart (Chief Nwakanma Okoro) respectvely went to court to contest Mbakwe's continued sitting as the Imo state governor on the basis that his deputy Mr Bernard Amanaha has issues with his tax declaration.

At the supreme court, the justices ruled in favour of both NPN/GNPP candidates that Mbakwe's deputy tax payment declaration was flawed but however ruled that the mandate still stand and gave Mbakwe/NPP the choice to choose another person as the new deputy governor as the court dropped Mr Amalaha.

Mbakwe/NPP then chose a member of the state house of assembly (Chief Isaac Uzoigwe) as the new deputy governor of Imo State and he was sworn in a week later. Unfortunately the dropped former deputy governor Mr Amalaha, never survived the shock and died less than a year later.

Nigeria law is a backside, if not, the worst case scenario will be that the deputy governor will be propped up to becomes the new governor.

But looking at the Abacha's constitution, Akala has no single case
1. Ajimobi is a Nigerian by birth
2. Aimobi never at anytime renouced his Nigerian citizenship by birth, irrespective of his naturalization, if he indeed did naturalized.

Just even common sense will tell you that the writers of that Abacha constitution has their children with dual nationalities, which they considered in the past as a privilege over other Nigeria.  And knowing this people for their selfish interest first, do you really think they will do anything that will preclude their own children from power in future?

Bankole, David Mark, Ibori and my own cousin who was governor for 8 years are few examples of those with dual nationalities in higher offices and if you think that their opponents some how forgot to use it against them, you must be kidding me, especially in nigeria where power is the tonic to everything.
