Alhaja Sinatu Ojikutu, a former deputy governor of Lagos State, has stated that she is in the process of renouncing her Nigerian citizenship following the emergence of Bola Tinubu as the President-elect.
Speaking at her Lagos residence, Ojikutu stated that the process of renouncing her citizenship will be completed before May 29. She said, “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.”
Ojikutu explained that despite people telling her that Tinubu would not do anything bad, she feels endangered by the current situation. She said, “I have been ostracised and humiliated in places where I should be honoured because of his not being at peace with me.
