The dual citizenship controversy surrounding the President-elect, Bola Tinubu, may not affect his presidency, says Babatunde Fashola.

The former Lagos governor who shared his opinion on the issue on Channels TV’s ‘Sunday Politics’ expressed doubt on the country’s constitution stripping Tinubu of the chance to rule after his Guinea passport was shared online.

According to Fashola, Niegria’s constitution allows for dual citizenship.

“I know he carries a Nigerian passport; I don’t know about dual citizenship.

“I know he resided abroad when he went on exile. I don’t know if they gave him American citizenship there.

“What does that have to do with the results of the election? The last time I checked, I think Nigeria’s constitution allows you to have dual citizenship”, he said.

When quizzed on the possibility of the constitution making a provision for presidential candidates, Fashola said he would need to revisit it.

“I’ll go and check. It’s ‘place of birth’ o… if you were born to Nigerian parents.

“I’ll check that, but I doubt that the Nigerian constitution makes you disentitled if you have dual citizenship because the constitution allows you to have dual citizenship.”
