The passport was published on Saturday night by one of Nigeria’s finest Investigative journalists, David Hundeyin.

If the passport which is currently making the rounds on social media, particularly Twitter is anything to go by, Tinubu might be in for a fresh round of legal trouble.

According to the passport, Tinubu holds a Guinean passport which is contrary to the provisions of Nigeria’s constitution.

Section 137 (1) (a) of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria provides “A person shall not be qualified for election to the office of President if subject to the provisions of Section 28 of this Constitution, he has voluntarily acquired the citizenship of a country other than Nigeria or, except in such cases as may be prescribed by the National Assembly, he has made a declaration of allegiance to such other country.”

According to the passport, the former Lagos State Governor acquired the passport of Guinea Republic in 2015.

Hundeyin’s tweet reads, “On Tinubu’s INEC EC9 declaration, he stated that he has not obtained any other citizenship.

“But he has Guinean citizenship, with his Guinean passport stating clearly that he was born in Nigeria – which means he obtained Guinean citizenship.
“This is perjury. Lying under oath.”
