I’ll renounce Nigerian citizenship if Tinubu is sworn in – Ex-Lagos deputy gov Ojikutu
Former deputy governor of Lagos State Sinatu Ojikutu says she has commenced the process of renouncing her Nigerian citizenship following the emergence of Bola Tinubu as President-elect.
Ojikutu said it would be completed before May 29 when Tinubu would be sworn in.
“Before the results of the presidential elections were declared, I came out to say that if Bola Tinubu won the election, I would renounce my citizenship in Nigeria and I have my reasons,” she told the press on Wednesday at her Ikoyi residence in Lagos.
“When he won, people called me and said he would not do anything bad. But I am endangered by the current situation. I have been ostracised and humiliated in places where I should be honoured because of his not being at peace with me.
“I will not hold a Nigerian passport with Bola Tinubu as President. I am praying to God to give me the nation I can go to. I am not going to America or the United Kingdom. I want a simple place where I (can) stay and live for the rest of my life.
“I don’t know where I am going but I have already given it to the lawyers to please see where I can get the citizenship. I am working on it seriously before May 29.”
