Many candidates like Teslim Folarin, Tonye Cole are dual citizens. Even people like Ajimobi, Makinde, Dapo Abiodun having spent many years abroad are likely to be dual citizens,

A young man trying to figure out his life in his 20s and 30s can't be thinking of what will happen in his 50s

A Federal High Court sitting in Port Harcourt has again disqualified the governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the state, Mr. Tonye Cole, over alleged dual citizenship and non-compliance with the Electoral Act by his party.

But APC counsel Collins Dike expressed displeasure that the same court, which disagreed with APC and held that no court had right to interfere in another party’s affairs on a section of the constitution being used, turned around to say otherwise. Dike revealed that APC would challenge the judgement at the Court of Appeal with assurance that a higher court would do justice in the matter.

“For us, the position of the law is very clear, the constitution is very clear. We are confident that the appealing court will do justice in this matter. It will give a proper interpretation of the constitution.

Some of you were in the court and, probably, heard the court read the relevant provisions of the constitution. Our constitution is very clear that where a person is a citizen of Nigeria by birth and goes on to acquire the citizenship of any other country or pledges allegiance to any other country, he is qualified to contest elections.

“Tonye Cole acquired a citizenship of the United Kingdom, he stated so in his forms before INEC but it is also clear that he is a citizen of Nigeria by birth. So, the court read that very clearly from the constitution and proceeded to disqualify him, contrary to the provisions of the constitution.

“We are proceeding on appeal immediately, we are only waiting to get the judgement as soon as possible so that we study it.”

An Appeal Court sitting in Port Harcourt, Rivers State has struck out a suit by the Peoples Democratic Party against the governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress, Tonye Cole, and the Independent National Electoral Commission over non-compliance to the Electoral Act.

The Appeal Court also set outside the judgment of the Federal High Court sitting in Port Harcourt over the alleged dual citizenship of Tonye Cole.

The three-man panel of appeal in a unanimous judgment said the PDP lacked the locus standi to challenge APC, its governorship candidate, and the INEC on the conduct of the congresses and primary election that brought in the candidate.

On the issue of dual citizenship, the appeal court in the judgment delivered by Justice Olabode Adegbehingbe on behalf of the lead Judge, Justice Joseph Ikyegh said the PDP lacked the legal right to drag INEC to court in a pre-election matter.

Justice Adegbehingbe further said the Supreme Court’s decision on the issue of citizenship on electoral matters was final

Not sure where this will go as people have been writing Chicago state university for years asking is bola ahmed Tinubu studied there.

This apparent letter clearly refers to bola Tinubu as he.

When I was in university we had a three guys named ganiyu adebayo in my class. All with the initials GAA. I'm sure this is something along the same line.

At the barest minimum inspector hundeyin should have been able to track her down.

Fake news eh!

But he is not a Nigerian by birth

The man should shut up. He knows the game he was playing. Serious Business people take data and information very seriously. As business growth is data and information driven.

So he was not applying his own principles?

Chibuike Ugwuoke, a cyber security expert, on Wednesday, presented metadata which he claimed to have extracted from the INEC result viewing portal (IReV).

Under cross-examination on Thursday by Abubakar Mahmoud, INEC’s lawyer, Ugwuoke said the National Information Technology Development Agency (NITDA) Act stipulates that all technologies used by INEC must adhere to the ISO 27001 2013 standard.

However, Emmanuel Edet, another LP witness who is the head of legal services at NITDA, said such requirements do not exist under the NITDA Act.

“The NITDA Act does not contain any cyber security standard code – ISO 27001 2013,” Edet said.

The witness also said no provision in the act makes reference to INEC.

There’s nothing bad in admitting he was wrong and taking down whatever post he has made based the inaccurate data/news reportage .

Festus Keyamo who is Senior Advicate of Nigeria was congratulating Binani on her illegal victory ; he even described it glowingly as a glass-shattering watershed for Nigerian women…... I’m not sure I saw his tweet apologizing to the governor and admitting he was misled .

This is my point. The oga at the top in a serious business, one who rose there with acumen and grit, will grill you to be sure the data you are providing, which will drive business decisions, is accurate. In fact at that level, you can automatically filter bs.

That is my issue. If the guy was a politician, or a head of a govt parastatal, I would say well, this is one of those dumb easily deceived olodos who is incapable of critical thinking.

But based on his pedigree and access to information, I would say he knew what he was doing,which using his platform to sow discord.
