Mohammed Hayatu, one of the
witnesses called by 2019 presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar and his party,
Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has told the court what his father told him
about the main opposition presidential candidate.
Hayatu, who appeared before the
Presidential Election Petition Tribunal, PEPT, on Tuesday, said that his
(Hayatu’s) claim that Atiku is a Nigerian by birth and was qualified to contest
the presidential election, were based on the information he got from his
father.
Hayatu claimed that he retired as
a Customs officer, adding that his father, who gave him the information, is now
dead.
Hayatu said he also learnt that a
part of Adamawa Province was one part of Northern Cameroon, until the
plebiscite of 1961 which brought it back to Nigeria.
The witness said, “Jadda, where
Atiku was born was never part of Cameroon.”
Still on Tuesday, Magdeil Samaki,
another witness of Atiku and PDP, said he could not recall history relating to
the plebiscite conducted in Northern Cameroon in 1961.
Samaki told the Tribunal that he
was a Nigerian Ambassador to Romania.
