Former Guinean President, Alpha Conde, has cleared the controversy surrounding President-elect Bola Tinubu, regarding dual citizenship.

Conde said Tinubu does not have dual citizenship with Guinea.

According to him, “I conferred Mr Tinubu with “Ambassador extraordinaire” because of the role that he played during my election in 2015 and his intelligence and expatriate contribution and support to boost Guinea economy.”

Conde explained that, “Tinubu is the biggest pan-Africanist I have seen. Before I met Tinubu, I had noted his accomplishments, right from when he was governor.

” I see him as a ‘Lion of Africa’ because of his contributions towards the stability and development of Africa. He has always supported African presidents who were pan-Africanists in disposition and others.

“I am convinced that Tinubu’s leadership will be good for Nigeria. Nigeria is a country other West African nations look up to. I am happy for Tinubu.

“Anything he may require of me to make his government successful, in my personal capacity, I will willingly do. He helped us in Guinea and I will never forget that. Nigerians should pray for the success of Tinubu’s government because his leadership will be impactful.”
