SaharaReporters has obtained exclusive copies of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) nomination forms by which Senate President Bukola Saraki ran for the National Assembly election, and they unveil a pattern of lies, evasion and misrepresentation of facts on questions about his nationality and identity.

The documents come weeks after SaharaReporters provided evidence showing that Mr. Saraki is a citizen of the United Kingdom.
For instance, under “Personal particulars of persons seeking election,” the man who would become Senate President declared his nationality to be “Nigerian.” However, when answering the question, “Did you change your nationality in the past?” he indicated “NIL” or no.

As first exposed by SaharaReporters, Mr. Saraki’s passport clearly indicates that he holds citizenship of United Kingdom. Perhaps on account of this, Mr. Saraki left blank Question 10, on whether the prospective candidate has “made a declaration of allegiance to any other country.”

Mr. Saraki’s answers to these questions indicate that he is concealing the fact that he is a bonafide citizen of the United Kingdom. Knowing that it would hurt his political ambitions, he deliberately concealed the fact that he has changed the profile of his nationality in the past.

On the forms, Mr. Saraki also completely evaded question 12, which asked the candidate to specify his place of birth. Rather than declare his place of birth to be Hampstead North, of the Metropolitan Bourough of Hampstead in the United Kingdom, Mr. Saraki craftily repeated his date of birth: 19-12-1962. For some reason, INEC did not invalidate the form as it should have.

On the question of the circumstances of his birth, Mr. Saraki has also played fast and loose with the facts. SaharaReporters has obtained a copy of his birth certificate, which proves that he was born on December 19, 1962 as Olubukola Adebisi Olabowale Saraki but curiously Mr. Saraki’s birth was not registered until a year later in 1963. This is contrary to his name on his INEC documents, which he wrote as Abubakar Bukola Saraki. Our sources who have knowledge of the story say he gave himself this version in an effort to appeal to northern voters in Kwara State.

SaharaReporters contacted Mr. Saraki and his aides to offer an opportunity to them to explain the systemic evasion and misrepresentation of his nationality and citizenship in his election documents, contrary to the law. Nobody appeared willing to provide any explanation as to the discrepancies in his official records and claims as listed in this and previous SaharaReporters stories.

Perjury is a very serious offense and a ground for impeachment.

He might want to say, his aides filled out the forms, but the most important thing here is WHO SIGNED THE FORMS? Saraki, as long as you are the one that signed it.

Then you are guilty in the public court of opinion,of perjury. And all that needs to be done by the APC is to formally take you to court, where you will be be found guilty in the court of the land for perjury.

Ignorance, they say is not an excuse before the law. And that is why any Public Paper that can be requested for, has to be properly vetted before anybody should sign it.

APC let us do the needful, and kick this fraud out as the Senate President.

In my Grandmother's Voice. GOD DON CATCH AM.

APC wan finish this man oo

Does anyone think at some point, this will become an overkill?

This is serious

Oga Saraki is in big trouble

This is a nail on his coffin

Tinubu you are wicked


Lalasticlala do justice

Mynd44:
Does anyone think at some point, this will become an overkill?

No.

It will be a road kill.

A reminder that there are consequences when you venture into the unknown

Once your parents are Nigerians, you are a natural born citizen.
Just read the constitution.

Is that why he deliberately misled INEC officials about the exact circumstances surrounding his birth?

Now tell me!

Although he was a bit cunning, the law is on Saraki's side. Because he was born in the UK, he can't be deemed to have "changed" his nationality.
Also, sections 25 and 66 of the constitution show that he is a Nigerian by birth and meets the citizen eligibility standard to run for, and hold elected office in Nigeria.

APC as a part of digging its own grave without knowing it. There comes a time when you let sleeping dogs like. No party in the world is perfect and certainly not one in Nigeria. They should just let him be. They have made their point and I believe he has learned from his mistakes. A continuous threading on this path will bring the party down.

Alright. But something really baffles me, I wonder why all these revelations are only coming to the fore after he had a disagreement with the APC chieftains. Should we assume they knew all these about him all this while, but have been concealing it? Does that mean there are many other crooks in government whose identities and atrocities are being concealed?

Shara reporters and its ostrich antics!Tinubu should leave this man alone...the same reporter that called Buhari snil president when he didn't intervane into assembly crisis!!!if Buhari is nt careful with his cohorts,they ll stain his government with media....

Even the Oga's on top also lied.

they need to have some ammo to use against you in case you go rogue

9jagirl4ree:

Lol desperation of the highest order.Saraki was born both a UK citizen and Nigerian citizen.He never changed his citizenship so you ,Tinubu and sahara reporters have no case

mikolo80:

I am yet to see any amo!! All they have been throwing all along are just grapes and oranges!!The propaganda is even getting too childish and winning for him. More support on the floor of the senate

That is exactly the koko of the matter!!! Saraki was born both a UK and a Nigerian citizenship !!! How on earth does it amountin to chaning his citizenship?

warning shots

Indeed, SaraTHIEF has bitten more than he can chew
It is advisable to be light and not heavy with loads when trying to swim across a river. Saraki may eventually sink... Too much for him these days.
When the greedy tries to win all, he loses all!

This can't nail Saraki effectively, try more.

Politics might sound devilish but loyalty n trust are needed.Without those two,u are on a long thing.

Its getting really hot.






Anyone that has ever read the book "Mafia Manager" will understand what Tinubu is doing to this Man.

Jagaban is a Mafia Don.

..Even if he presents a NEPA bill, he is still our Senate President.


..Nothing dey happen, Saraki.

It's about to go down! Can the APC muscle the dogged Saraki out of his exalted post by slander and newspapers propaganda? Only time will tell.

Saraki abi na Shaki don enter one chance finally. He will be booted out of that seat soon. Over ambitious kills

This can't be converted to 2/3 votes needed to oust saraki and if the idea is to dislodge him as the political godfather of kwara, you probably will have to try harder because kwara voters have heard something worse than this and Saraki always deliver 100%. This isn't a noisemaking exercise, it's about connecting with the right people that matters in this game. This is the same strategy adopted against Fayose that made the party lose 16 - 0. APC need to evolve better strategy in moments like this. This is surely dead on arrival.
