Some Nigerians on social media have taken to their handles to share the photo of the Nigeriaโs President-elect, Bola Tinubu along side the word, โPerjury.โ
According toย controversial Journalist, David Hundeyin in a post on his verified page on Twitter on Saturday alleged that Bola Tinubu of the All Progressive Congress, (APC ) holds a dual citizenship with Guinea-Conakry.
Google defines perjury as an offense of willfullyย telling anย untruthย or making aย misrepresentation under oath. Simpy put, Lying under the oath.
According to Hundeyin, Tinubu in hisย Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) EC9 declaration, stated that he has not obtained any other citizenship.
However, hisย findings allegedly show that the former Lagos governor has Guinean citizenship with his Guinean passport which also clearly stated that he was born in Nigeria-implyingย he obtained Guinean Citizenship.
Reacting to the development, Nigerian tweeps called on lawyers across the country to sue the president-elect with perjury.
A tweep, Alex said,ย ย โSo Bola Ahmed Tinubu is from Guinea? Hmmmm! It now makes a lot of sense. Iโve never seen a Nigerian this ugly.โ
