Treadway:
I have strong reasons to believe that so called embassy letter is not genuine. Not like it will change anything as na naija we dey, but just for the sake of knowledge.

I have shared some points to note earlier. Here is another, that document has a typo that is hard to ignore. The red flags!

It reads the United States and it's territories

It should be ITS not IT'S

2. The typing alignment is not justified format, even the 1993 document was properly aligned in justified typing format. How could a 2003 not be? Compare the two below.
3. Inec supposedly received a document in 2010 when Tinubu wasn't vying for any post in 2010.

Jyde81 and TWoods when I said you were not very smart like Tinubu your mentor, una see am now. If anarchist grandpa wan forge something, he should at least get someone to do a fool-proof job.

MNDY:


Everything about Tinubu is never straightforward.
From fake bishops, to age, to certificate, to business, to muslim-muslim ticket.
I type in Ms Word very well and understand justifying a typed work.
I am not a Tinubu supporter. But on this case, I think a portion in the constitution states that an aspirant can be disqualified if his conviction is within 10yrs before he is contesting. This case is over 20yrs old. Other than that, there are serious issues of: Whether forfeiture means plea bargain. Did the US clear him of every wrongdoing because of the forfeiture? etc

GeneralDae:

I will respond to you because I know you are reasonable. The competent court did not indict him if you study the documents. What the documents prove to us is that:

1) 10 accounts including family and business accounts had received some proceeds from clients who were involved in drug dealing.

2) They could not prove that Tinubu himself was involved.

3) Tinubu was guilty of not paying taxes to the U.S Government from 1984 until 1992, hence the taxes had to be deducted too.

Finally, Tinubu was in Nigeria then. If he was a drug baron he would have completely abandoned the case to go into hiding and not present himself to the U.S where he had to forfeit taxes.

MNDY:


Even though he changed his name because of this matter and can use that to defend himself, if they want to disqualify him, they can still get him through his primary school certificate (a requirement) that he is hiding because of the change of name.

You guys don’t have sense. Why not dig in to know more about the case. Tinubu wasn’t caught with drugs but the law enforcement traced funds that belongs to a drug baron in his account. You no go dig to know history, just see matter online start to Dey drop comments. Oga oooo

ladiguy:


It is proper but the case has been cleared. When you enter into plea bargain (In USA ), the case is gone for life. If you drag him to court in USA, you won’t get any positive result. Tafa balogun (former IG) got a response from the American authority then and he was told he had no case to answer and as for Obi Cuba. He is lucky to be invited by Nigerian law enforcement agency. You and I know how things goes here. So, I’m not disputing the fact that he might have or agree to it.

The basics is that he has no case to answer. If I were to be Tinubu’s advocate, the defense argument would be, one can have funds in your account without you knowing what the owner of the funds do or how it was acquired. Any close associate can wire funds into your account and give you Wrong info about the funds.

TheGoodJoe:


The judgment clearly stated that the American government took the money because they were proceeds of drug trafficking, not because Tinubu did not pay taxes. This money is proceeds of drug trafficking.

TheGoodJoe:


For the last point, Tinubu had a chance of recovering a million dollars, so he would not go into hiding.

GeneralDae:

If there were proven proceeds of drug trafficking, the American Government would not just take 460 thousand dollars out of about 2 million dollars and then let him go free with the rest.

GeneralDae:

It's just like saying Hushpuppi, knowing he has been caught would present himself to American courts because he believes he would be able to save 75% of his money back. It makes no sense.

masinga07:
The old man should be disqualified. He's a disaster that should never be allowed to happen to Nigeria. All hands must be on deck to stop him from becoming the president.

Tinubu is guilty. You guys should stop massaging this crime.

Zetty177x:


Your Hero pushed drug and these drugs would have killed several people and u blame Ibos for Tinubu's irresponsibility.aint u maad like this? I'm not Ibo .. okay? I just like fairness.

Let Bobo Chicago tell us what transpired. Did he push drugs or not? What was his connection to the drug lord that is now on life imprisonment ...

Willie2015:


And Peter Obi(former chairman of a bank) that carried .....
N250m cash in the boot of a car and drove from.....
East to Lagos is a honest man.....

ALTERNATEID:




The US government is not looking for Tinubu. He has no case to answer anywhere in the world except in the inconsequential court of hateful ipob supporters of Peter Obi. Tinubu was at the nomination of Barack Obama as Democratic candidate in 2012 on special invitation. He was still in the US for surgery last year. So, what exactly are you noisemakers talking about?

ladiguy:


You are kid. I have learnt a lot still learning. Make sure are keep tab on your friends on this forum cuz soon you will need them when you start learning.

Good day.

TheGoodJoe:


If there was a plea deal on the table for Hushpuppi to forfeit $20 million and walk away, he would gladly jump at it.

TheGoodJoe:


It is already explained in the documentary that the cases cost a lot of money and the government loses tax money financially but following these cases. Imagine spending millions on drug cases to rescue a few millions.

That was why the forfeiture deal worked in BAT's favor.

onuman:


You are roping in Tinubu the more.
An accomplice to crime is also a criminal.
Once Tinubu kept money from drug trafficking people, Tinubu is an accomplice to the crime of drug trafficking.

7arrows:


Stop looking for excuses where there is none. If he carried carried 250m in cash is it your money? Even if he did that's he own risk and not urs. Pls try to big up and dont reason low. We all know in our hearts that hes a better candidate than the other 2.

TheGoodJoe:


By the way, you can't open series of accounts for drug dealers, setup a corporation for them and claim innocent. It can fly when telling people but come on, when it came to forfeiting the money, Tinubu had no cover.

That forfeiture is proof that he was involved in moving drug money. Not involved in the direct sales but he accepted by not making a claim that he moved Drug money.

That makes him ineligible to run for president.

Treadway:
that embassy letter is forged.

I have strong reasons to believe that so called embassy letter is not genuine. Not like it will change anything as na naija we dey, but just for the sake of knowledge.
