Tribunal Dismisses Corruption Charges Against Tinubu (Throwback) by AnonPoet: 11:11am On Jan 28, 2022
A rejoinder to the thread which was moved to front page. Tinubu discharged and found innocent

Previous thread: https://www.nairaland.com/6960154/tinubu-court-over-corruption-charges


Reprieve came the way of former Lagos State Governor, Bola Tinubu, today after the Code of Conduct Tribunal dismissed the corruption allegation against him for lack of diligent prosecution.

The Code of Conduct Bureau had in September arraigned Mr. Tinubu before the tribunal over allegation that he operated foreign accounts during his term in office between 1999 and 2007, contrary to Nigerian laws.

The court however ruled today that the prosecution failed to prove its case beyond reasonable doubt. But before quashing the charges, the court dismissed the motion by the former governor’s legal team challenging its jurisdiction to hear the case.

Mr. Tinubu’s camp, which has all along blamed his trial on political witch-hunting, erupted into spontaneous celebration moments after the judgment.

The Lagos State chapter of the former governor’s party, Action Congress of Nigeria, quickly issued a statement applauding the tribunal for resisting the temptation to be used to persecute a leader of the opposition.

“By that ruling, the tribunal has demonstrated that justice is still obtainable even in an atmosphere of petty politics and funny contrivances,” the party said in a statement by its spokesperson, Joe Igbokwe.

“We are gladdened that the Code of Conduct Tribunal has dispensed justice without fear or favour in this frivolous case, meant to slow down the desire to do away with the misrule of the PDP,” Mr. Igbokwe said. “We see this as a reinvigoration of that desire and state that nothing will stop our great party from its determination to replace the PDP, which has led the rapid degradation of governance in a well endowed country as Nigeria.”

He continued, “By dismissing this frivolous case, nurtured and cooked in the chambers of vindictive and petty politics, the Code of Conduct Tribunal has shown a desire not to be employed as a hatchet to prosecute the selfish partisan battles of the PDP, we are happy that the tribunal is showing that signal at a crucial stage of our national life when the nation longs for a fresh air from 13 years of unmitigated misrule. We salute the courage of the members of the tribunal and we state that by this ruling, the tribunal has shown the way on an impartial approach to issues.

“We congratulate the National Leader of our great party, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu for his latest victory, which is just one out of the strings of victories that he has recorded against those that hold Nigeria by the jugular. We salute his raw courage and audacity to lead the time honoured quest to rescue Nigeria from the hands of rapacious political predators that want to keep Nigeria hostage till eternity. We want him to see this as just the beginning of the battle for the soul of Nigeria , as we pledge our unalloyed support to him.”

On technicalities..
Stop rewriting history, you Tinubu Internet Urchins!
Pablo Hushcobar Tinubu and his weirdo of a lawyer fought the judicial system over technicalities! The substance of the case wasn't even dealt with because Jonathan, true to his nature, had no real interest in politically maiming Tinubu.
The courts NEVER declared Tinubu innocent! The court simply had problems with the way he was arraigned..

Their political strategy for winning election is by deploying lies, bigotry, hatred and bitterness. They are evil and their hearts are filled with bitterness and hatred for Asiwaju Tinubu their fellow human being and that's why they lose all the time.

They will always lose.

Here's the Judge admitting that he resisted strong pressure to ensure that justice is done in the case
https://www.vanguardngr.com/2016/05/cct-trial-i-was-under-serious-influence-during-tinubus-case-justice-umar/amp/

HE GEJ hounded Asiwaju Tinubu in order to stop him from collaborating with PMB to sack him from office. That dictatorship by HE GEJ eventually boomranged as most folks from the political constituency of Asiwaju Tinubu voted GEJ out, the first time a sitting President was defeated in a credible and fair election in Nigeria.

Asiwaju Tinubu has paid his dues in defending Nigeria's democracy. He is an experienced public administrator and a Patriot to the core.
Please vote for Asiwaju Tinubu.
Thank you.
May God bless you and may God bless Nigeria forever.

For those who dont know, he wasnt pronounced discarged and acquitted, the case was struck out for lack of diligent prosecution.


Meaning if somebody decides to diligently reinstitute and prosecute the case, the trial will go on.

Tinubu will never be president of Nigeria

Wait for him to become president first then you can talk about wailing. You nincompoops don't understand that bad leadership affects everyone.
Where were y'all wailers when Jonathan opened our vaults for your Igbo folks to loot unhindered?
