EXCLUSIVE: Atiku To Return To His Country’s Origin
The Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami, is intensifying plans to halt the presidential ambition of former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar in 2023 with a court case that would declare him a citizen of Cameroon and ineligible for the election.

According to SaharaReporters, top sources disclosed that the main plan of Malami and powerful politicians in the Aso Rock is to deport Atiku to Cameroon.
Although the minister had denied filing a lawsuit against the citizenship of the Presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party in the 2019 general election, sources, claimed that Malami is acting through proxies and non-governmental organisations which are positioned to halt Atiku’s ambition.
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,” one of the top sources revealed.
Only on April 1, the AGF told a Federal High Court in Abuja that Atiku was not eligible to run for president in Nigeria.
Malami had stated this in an affidavit in support of a suit marked FHC/ABJ/CS/177/2019 and filed before the court by the Incorporated Trustees of Egalitarian Mission for Africa (EMA).
In 2019, the EMA instituted the suit challenging Atiku’s eligibility to contest for president.

The organisation is asking the court to hold among others, that considering the provisions of sections 25(1) &(2) and 131(a) of the 1999 constitution and the circumstances surrounding his birth, Atiku could not contest for the top office.
The AGF through his legal team, led by Oladipo Okpeseyi, noted that Atiku is not a Nigerian citizen by birth.
“The first defendant (Atiku) is not qualified to contest to be president of the Federal Republic of Nigeria,” Malami submitted.
“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.”
