This is unacceptable. It is against the Constitution of Nigeria, except that Mr. Hamzat has dual citizenship. The truth must be told if Nigeria, as a country, wants to grow and move to the next level. The Lagos State deputy governor (Mr. Obafemi Hamzat) renounced his country of origin and took the citizenship of the United States of America, as alleged. He swore an oath of allegiance as an American, and he did so out of his own volition. Now he has come back to Nigeria to become deputy governor of Lagos State. The Viewers Corner News team is calling on the judiciary of Nigeria to listen to candidates of other political parties who brought this issue before the court because it is not proper for someone who allegedly renounced his nationality to come back and take up a leadership position in the same country he rejected. Now hear this: if anything happens to Mr. Obafemi Hamzat, the United States of America will come down to Nigeria immediately and take him away because he is their own, so those in charge of this matter should be guided. Again, the time has come for the judiciary of Nigeria to be straightforward and sincere with the laws of Nigeria. They should interpret it correctly. In Nigeria, so many politicians are taking the constitution of the country for granted; this is unacceptable and should stop. The judiciary of Nigeria should work on these troubling issues so that those Nigerians coming from abroad to take up leadership positions in Nigeria would know how the laws of the country work. Doing so will give the judiciary of Nigeria true recognition in the eyes of the world. Again, democracy cannot function effectively without the rule of law. Hence, the Viewers Corner News team is appealing to the judiciary of Nigeria to step up and have all these anomalies corrected.
