Sharing photos of the president-elect's supposed Guinean diplomatic passport bearing the name Bola Ahmed Tinubu and his photograph, Hundeyin's post has continued to raise concerns across many quarters.
Many Nigerians across the globe have also called on the president-elect, his handlers and aides to set the allegation against Tinubu by Hundeyin straight.
On the other hand, the allegation led to Twitter's sanction of Hundeyin's page, citing a breach of privacy as its reason, after many users had reported his account.
In a swift reaction to the trending allegation of Tinubu's dual citizenship, Obi said:
“I’m a Nigerian. Committed Nigerian. I don’t have any dual nationality. So, this (Nigeria) is my own country.
“And I have said it that even if there is war outside this country and I’m outside, I will come back because this is my country."
