Malami, Others Plot To Deport Atiku To Cameroon Over Presidential Ambition

The Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami has been linked with some cabal planning to depose Atiku of his right to contest in the 2023 presidential elections according to some close sources.

A source said: “I can confirm to you that the cabals are planning to deport Atiku. The AGF lied that he never filed anything or instituted the case against Atiku but as you could see, he filed a brief to support the non-governmental organisation that instigated it. You know he (Malami) too wants to run for President. It is a cabal thing.

“It is real. They are planning to condemn Atiku to Cameroon and the plan is hatching soon,”

Malami’s legal team, led by Oladipo Okpeseyi, made it clear that Atiku is not a Nigerian citizen by birth and he does not qualify to run for president.

Okpeseyi said: “The first defendant (Atiku) is not qualified to contest to be president of the Federal Republic of Nigeria,”

“The first defendant is not a fit and proper person to be a candidate for election to the office of president of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

“The first defendant was born on the 25th of November, 1946 at Jada, at the time in Northern Cameroon. By the plebiscite of 1961, the town of Jada was incorporated into Nigeria.

“The first defendant is a Nigerian by virtue of the 1961 plebiscite, but not a Nigerian by birth. The first defendant’s parents died before the 1961 plebiscite.”

“This qualified all those born before the 1961 plebiscIte as citizens of Nigeria, but not Nigerian citizen by birth. Consequently, only citizens born after the 1961 plebiscite are citizens of Nigeria by birth,”
