The leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, has
come up with a fresh claim about the true nationality of President
Muhmmadu Buhari.
Kanu, in his broadcast from the United
Kingdom at the weekend, said that neither “dead” Muhammadu Buhari, nor
“his replacement” Jibril al Sudani, is qualified to contest for
Nigeria’s presidential election.
Nnamdi Kanu argued that being
born on Nigerian soil was not enough to qualify one as a Nigerian
citizen by birth, unless the parents, grandparents of such person is
also born in Nigeria.
The IPOB leader said that Buhari’s
father, Hardo Adamu, was a nomadic FULANI trader, a duck seller, from
the Niger Republic and later became a bodyguard in the Emir of Daura’s
palace, which made him to settle in Daura, Katsina State, adding that he
(Hardo) was borne in the Niger Republic, not Nigeria.
Kanu said
that the All Progressives Congress, APC, has opened the door by
challenging Atiku’s citizenship by BIRTH, it now lies within the rights
of every right-thinking person to also question Buhari’s citizenship by
birth, even litigate it in Court.
He added, “NEITHER THE DEAD
BUHARI NOR HIS REPLACEMENT JUBRIL AL-SUDANI IS A CITIZEN OF NIGERIA BY
BIRTH ACCORDING TO SECTION 25 OF THE CONSTITUTION OF THE FEDERAL
REPUBLIC OF NIGERIA
