Abubakar Atiku, the defeated presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party has debunked notions that he was Cameroonian by birth and thus not qualified to contest the election of 23 February, 2019. Atiku who was born in Jada in 1946, in present day Adamawa state, but then part of Northern Cameroon, said he was born by Nigerian parents and therefore ‘a citizen of Nigeria by birth”. According to his response to the All Progressives Congress filing before the Presidential election tribunal, Atiku said his father, Garba Atiku Abdulkadir was a Nigerian by birth who hailed from Wurmo in present day Sokoto State, while the mother, Aisha Kande was also a Nigerian who hailed from Dutse in present day Jigawa State. “The parents of the 1st Petitioner(Atiku) are both Fulani, a community/tribe indigenous to Nigeria”, his lawyers said.. “The birth of the 1st Petitioner in Jada, in present day Adamawa State of Nigeria was occasioned by the movement of his paternal grandfather called Atiku who was an itinerant trader, from Wurmo in present day Sokoto State to Jada in the company of his friend, Ardo Usman. “That in Jada, Atiku, the grandfather of the 1st Petitioner gave birth to Garba who in tum gave birth to the 1st Petitioner and named him after his own father Atiku. “The 1st Petitioner’s mother, Aisha Kande was the grand-daughter of Inuwa Dutse who came to Jada as an itinerant trader too from Dutse in present day Jigawa State. “That all averments concerning Germany, British Cameroons, League of Nations and Plebiscite are false and misleading in relation to the 1st Petitioner and therefore completely irrelevant more so that the 1st Petitioner is a Nigerian by birth within the contemplation of the Constitution of the Federal Republic ofNigeria, 1999 (as amended). “The averments in the aforesaid paragraphs are indeed fabricated, contrived, made in bad faith and designed to embarrass the 1st Petitioner.” Abubakar said that the votes he secured in the presidential election were not wasted votes, and still claimed that he got more votes than President Buhari. To buttress his Nigerian citizenship, Atiku listed his career path and political activities and the awards and honours that he had received. These included his being a civil servant in the Nigerian Customs Service for over 20 years, retiring as a Deputy Director; a politician for about 30 years, who in 1992 contested the Presidential Primaries under the platform of then Social Democratic Party (SDP) alongside the late Chief M.K.O Abiola and Ambassador Baba Gana Kingibe. He also mentioned his participation in the 1999 governorship election in Adamawa State in 1999, which he won and the presidential elections of 1999 and 2003, which he won as running mate to former President Olusegun Obasanjo. Mentioned also was his being a recipient of the National Honour of Grand Commander of the Order of the Niger (GCON) and holder of the traditional title holder of Turakin Adamawa from 1982 to 2017 when he was elevated to Wazirin Adamawa. “In 2007, the 1st Petitioner contested Presidential election under the platform of Action Congress (AC) and the 2nd Respondent contested under the platform of the All Nigeria Peoples’ Party (ANPP). “In 2014, the 1st Petitioner and the 2nd Respondent contested the Presidential Primaries of the All Progressives Congress (APC), the 3rd Respondent for the 2015 Presidential Elections”. https://www.vanguardngr.com/2019/04/atiku-i-was-born-by-nigerian-parents-from-sokoto-jigawa/ |

I kind of think that APC will be highly embarrassed by now. Nnamdi Kanu was the first person to say that Atiku was was from Cameroon, and he said it to point out to ignorant Nigerians that referendum has been used in the history of Nigeria to decide who wants to be a Nigerian and who does not want to be a Nigerian. The APC immediately latched on to this to go to court to disqualify Atiku from the presidential race But the actual question here is not where Atiku was born, or if he comes from Cameroon. The question is if Atiku was a Nigerian "by birth". With the revelation that Atikus grandparents are Nigerians, it means that Atiku was born Nigerian by birth 2 Likes |

His Excellency, President Atiku Abubakar shouldn't bother responding to this absurd accusation by the satanic party because APC wants to use it to waste time at the tribunal so he won't have adequate time left to call witnessess and convince the tribunal to be on his side. He should rather focus on the main thing , proving how Buhari stole the mandate freely given to us by majority of Nigerians so we can retrieve it. |

kayfra: Which constitution? The Nigerian constitution is a fraud. Buhari is not qualified to run for president. The only evidence you attended and completed school is your certificate. He should present his WASC. Don't tell me WAEC recently gave him one. So why did he refuse to present it? Him no say na Oluwole Certificate Waec Nigeria give am. Can you present an affidavit to an employer when looking for a job like what Buhari did? |

Just a well written story by his lawyers, if Atiku is called into the witness stand he will tell a different tale from well thought out script. Press on but this too will come to an end in favour of Buhari. |
