Nnamdi Kanu Provides ‘Proofs’ That Atiku Is From Cameroon, Ahead Of Next Week Election

The leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, has provided ‘proof’ to back up his claims that the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar, is from Cameroon.

Nnamdi Kanu wants Nigerians to know why Atiku isn’t eligible to contest for the presidency, with reference to the constitution.

During a radio broadcast from London, the United Kingdom on Sunday night, Nnamdi Kanu gave meaning to his claim that Atiku Abubakar was originally from Cameroon but a product of 1961 referendum. According to him:

“Let me make it very clear that my reference to Atiku being born a Camerounian has nothing to do with his suitability to contest the office of the presidency of Nigeria because that is the business of Nigerians, I am a Biafran.

“I was merely referencing the 1961 referendum that brought his part of Adamawa into Nigeria as a valid example that referendum is not an alien concept in Nigeria.
