Its was reported that the standard bearer of the all progressive party APC is currently in France, and his media aides informed Nigerians that Mr Tinubu was going for meetings.

A few days ago pictures hit the internet of Tinubu with the Gilbert Chagoury and family at a restaurant in France.

Gilbert Chagoury, is a Lebanese-Nigerian and according to his Wikipedia page,

Gilbert Ramez Chagoury (born 1946) is a Nigerian billionaire businessman,diplomat and philanthropist, who lives in Paris, France. He has been implicated in election fraud and election interference in the United States for contributing money to Congressional re-election campaigns despite American laws that prohibit foreign nationals from contributing to U.S. elections.

This is the same man Bola Ahmed Tinubu, went to have meetings with in France.

One doesn't need a native doctor to tell you that bola Tinubu is a man of Shady character.

Almost everybody sitting on that table is a criminal. From bola Tinubu to Dapo Abiodun to Gilbert Chagoury

Tinubu constant relationship with criminals and corruption charges is not a last year thing although we all know he's currently being investigated by EFCC but know the Nigerian way of corruption "fighting" makes a sane mind wonder.

Like Dele Farotimi said and I quote: "theirs no one more criminal than Tinubu"

Crystal clear

Another lie. Who is gilbert ? Is he a doctor or does he provided elderly home care ? I'm asking for a friend from the agbero camp.

Criminals love Tinubu! They always speak glowingly of what he has done for them, don't it make you wonder what services this guy's rendered to Tinubu that made him so generous towards them.

Asari Dokubo a well known militant talks about what Tinubu did for him, including giving him and his wife properties in choice locations in Lagos.
WHAT SERVICES DID ASARI DOKUBO RENDER IN EXCHANGE?

So because US have charges against Chagoury people should not associate with him?

The US have most of the most sophisticated corrupt people on earth.

Why have they refused to challenge Saudi Arabia on the killing of Jamal Kashoggi?

Tinubu has freedom of association just like anyone in the world

Tinubu is banking on massive election rigging (vote buying, electronic database compromise, disenfranchisement of Igbos from voting in Lagos, etc using thugs and in collabo with INEC staffs).



He is also banking on using APC's power of incumbency to win

Chagoury was Abacha's main money launderer and international fixer for that corrupt despot.

This Chagoury lobbied the then Clinton adminstration with a hefty donation to the Clinton foundation to drop all sanctions against the Abacha regime over gross human rights violations.

This same Chagoury was the one who lobbied Abacha to pick Tinubu as his VP in his transition to civil rule. Tinubu was chosen so as to douse the June 12 struggle as Tinubu was one of many Yoruba traitors who used NADECO to raise money for June 12 but diverted it for personal use. Wole Soyinka was also one of those who milked the struggle for his own gain.

But Abacha died and Tinubu never got to be VP. But MKO was aware of all their betrayals and that is why NADECO and Yoruba elders who were dining with Abacha wanted Abiola dead and never to smell power.

This same Chagoury became one of the major contractors to LASG under Tinubu and introduced Tinubu to the same Clinton foundation racket .

What is a supposedly self described Democracy advocate doing with Abacha''s major henchman?

Tinubu is one of the most despicable characters to ever exist and why Yoruba people tend to ignore all his betrayals and corruption is a mystery .

I thought you guys said he was on the hospital bed? Una go cry tire
Very soon you guys will understand why politics is scientific

A man that has numerous corruption charges which includes money gotten from drugs is and laundering is seen with indicted criminals and you're talking about freedom of association?

This man wants to be Nigerian president, currently when it comes to corruption and criminality shouldn't he be setting a good example instead of hanging out with criminals in every continent he goes to?

Chagoury was an Abacha henchman that laundered Abacha's loot for him. Lobbied the crooked Clinton WH to drop sanctions against the despot after he seized power and three Abiola into jail.

This same Chagoury convinced Abacha to pick Tinubu as his VP in his failed transition to civil rule.

Can you explain why a supposedly pro Democracy advocate like Tinubu will have Chagoury as his major contractor when he was governor of Lagos state?

This was the same Chagoury that carried out the first 1bn per kilometer road project in the world under Tinubu's LASG.

A ranking US Senator detailed all these allegations on the floor of the Senate during Obama's corrupt govt .

This same Chagoury funneled money and arms to BH as well during the APC campaign of calumny against the GEJ govt.

Chagoury was also the one who lobbied then US secretary of state , Hilary Clinton not to designate BH as a terrorist organization and also cut arms and intelligence to the Nigerian govt citing gross human rights abuse by the Nigerian Army.

Even Obama refused to label BH as a terrorist organization but rather classified them as an armed insurgency with justifiable grievance.

What I do know is that next year will mark 30ys of MKO Abiola's June 12 and betrayers like Tinubu are set to collect their Karma.

Here we go with Peter Obi churning out baseless lies n innuendo after discovering everything they have thrown at Tinubu continue to fail. This is what you get from average Igbo. This was how they manufacture lies that a finance minister was the one that starved them to death in a war with a country that as a military president deputy n governing council. This is how they lied that MKO this dead is lying dipped the bible in the sea.

I don't blame them though I blame dead brain Yorubas that refuse to research n list a single segment in leadership that the Pandora Criminal they are selling can not in any aspect of perform beta than Tinubu.

Even in qualifications the oloriburuku was said to pass out with a third class while Tinubu came top in his class as attest to by the school he attended. Awon oloriburuku dede !

You fail to add the northern votes too. If election is free and fair in Nigeria, Characters like Tinubu won't get up to 1million vote. Criminal minded peeps are mostly pushing for Tinubu presidency e.g Ganduje, Shettima, Mc Oluomo, Asari Dokubo, El rufia, Tokunbo Afikuyomi, etc.

Chagoury is well known in Washington DC as a major lobbyist.

He pledged a billion dollar contribution to the Clinton Foundation when Clinton was in office. That money is believed to have come from Abacha.

Chagoury made his money in Nigeria from having oil lifting rights granted by IBB and then later Abacha.

He was born in Nigeria and is of Lebanese descent and grew up in Kano.

He has always had a way of infusing himself into military dictatorships of the likes of IBB and Abacha.

He is no businessman .

His only major investment is the Eko Atlantic project which Clinton was invited to flag off in 2013.

Thank you!! Don't mind the sophisticated mórons arguing on behalf of their enslaver.

When they said Tinubu"developed" Lagos I LAUGH!

Obasanjo knew him and what he was about when he created over 20 LCDAs in Lagos without Federal government approval.

That's why Obasanjo stopped paying the LCDAS but Tinubu and his followers claim Obasanjo withheld State funds.

What about the $1.3bn funds he looted from the Lagos rails?

He loves Yoruba so much but he preferred to give such contract to a Lebanese to loot from the same Yoruba people he claims to love.

If not for a criminal like Tinubu, Lagos is suppose to be competing with Capetown at least.

How Tinubu's loot ends up in Hilary Clinton's Purse: The Gilbert Chagoury Connection

Sen. David Vitter (R., La.) wants to know whether Hillary Clinton concealed communications with a Nigerian donor to the Clinton Foundation during an internal State Department debate over designating Boko Haram a terrorist group.

Vitter sent a letter last week to Secretary of State John Kerry requesting all of Clinton’s records relating to Boko Haram and her reluctance to label it as a Foreign Terrorist Organization (FTO).

The senator also asked for all of Secretary Clinton’s communications with Gilbert Chagoury, a Nigerian construction magnate who has donated millions to the Clinton Foundation in addition to contributing thousands to an outside group that helped re-elect President Bill Clinton in 1996.

Vitter said in an interview with the Washington Free Beacon that he wants to uncover whether Chagoury’s relationship with the former secretary of state influenced her policy toward Nigeria and its radical Islamic insurgency.

As founder of the Chagoury Group, one of Nigeria’s largest construction conglomerates, Chagoury would have a financial interest in the impact on Nigeria that would have followed a FTO designation for Boko Haram, Vitter said.

“He’s not Boko Haram, but he has a clear interest in terms of his commercial developments of not getting this designation, which would put the brakes on a lot of possible development that he wants in Nigeria,” he told the Free Beacon.

“The question I’ve raised is: Is there a similar conflict of interest there? And did that sort of issue have anything to do with Hillary Clinton’s State Department dragging its feet?”

Mark Corallo, a spokesman for Chagoury and Republican consultant who formerly worked at the Justice Department and on Capitol Hill, said in an email statement that accusations of an improper relationship between Chagoury and Clinton are “ludicrous and laughable.”

“Chagoury has had no contact with Hillary Clinton for years—predating her time as a U.S. senator,” he said. “So even if Senator Vitter somehow retrieves Hillary’s emails (and I hope he does), he’ll find no emails or correspondence of any kind from Ambassador Chagoury with Secretary Clinton or the Department of State.”

“Furthermore, while he has had a well-publicized friendship with former President Clinton and has donated to the Clinton Foundation, I would point out that he has also donated to the George W. Bush presidential library. Why? Because both President Bush and President Clinton showed a real interest in Africa and Ambassador Chagoury truly appreciated both men and their efforts.”

A spokesman for Clinton did not respond to a request for comment. A spokeswoman for the State Department also did not respond to a query about whether Kerry had received Vitter’s letter, and how long it would take to provide the communications he requested.

Both Nigerian officials and outside observers who were opposed to the FTO designation for Boko Haram argued that such a move would have a negative economic impact on the country. Chagoury employs tens of thousands of workers in West Africa and has spearheaded some of Nigeria’s most ambitious development projects.

A group of more than 20 academics wrote Clinton a letter in 2012 urging her against the FTO designation, citing its effects on humanitarian and economic aid.

“If economic development is to play a role in alleviating tensions in northern Nigeria, we should not hamper access by USAID or private NGOs in providing aid and assistance in the region,” they wrote.

The criticism of the FTO designation came as Johnnie Carson, former assistant secretary of state for African affairs under Clinton and an opponent of the measure, stressed the importance of private investment in Nigeria. The country is the second-largest destination in Africa for U.S. private investment.

The militant group was eventually declared as a FTO in November 2013 after Kerry became secretary of state.

Chagoury donated between $1,000,001 and $5,000,000 to the Clinton Foundation and pledged $1 billion to the Clinton Global Initiative in 2009 through the Chagoury Group. His relationship with the Clintons stretches back to the 1990s, when he contributed nearly half a million dollars to a voter registration group that helped re-elect President Bill Clinton in 1996.

At the time, human rights activists pressured Clinton to sanction Nigeria’s Sani Abacha regime for detaining and executing political dissidents. Chagoury, an Abacha associate, was reportedly invited to a White House dinner for Democratic supporters in 1997 and spoke with Clinton administration officials during that period about U.S. policy toward Nigeria. Clinton opted against sanctioning Nigeria’s profitable oil industry, instead pursuing “constructive dialogue” with the Abacha regime. Abacha died in 1998.

Several members of Chagoury’s family also donated thousands of dollars to Hillary Clinton’s failed presidential bid in 2008, according to the Wall Street Journal.

According to a 2010 investigation by PBS Frontline, Chagoury was one of the associates of Abacha’s who received government payments in overseas bank accounts.

He was convicted in 2000 in Switzerland for laundering money from Nigeria, but agreed to a plea deal and repaid $66 million to the Nigerian government. The conviction was later dropped. He also returned money in Swiss bank accounts to Nigeria in 1999 to receive immunity from prosecution in a looted assets case.

Corallo said the charges against Chagoury “were vacated and expunged from the record.”

Chagoury was also linked to a scheme in which Kellogg, Brown, and Root (KBR), then a subsidiary of the Halliburton Corporation, paid $180 million in bribes to the Abacha regime for business contracts in the 1990s. KBR eventually agreed to pay $579 million in fines in 2009, the largest ever payment for a company accused of bribing foreign officials.

Chagoury was not charged with any wrongdoing during a Justice Department investigation of the exchange.

“You are never going to stop corruption,” Chagoury told PBS.

Chagoury helped plan lucrative speeches for Bill Clinton and attended the former president’s 60th birthday party in 2006 in New York, as well as the wedding celebration in France of top Clinton aide Douglas Band, according to the Wall Street Journal.

Chagoury’s latest project, a land reclamation effort known as Eko Atlantic that will provide residences and amenities to 250,000 wealthy Nigerians outside of Lagos, has been criticized by some for not aiding Africa’s poor. Bill Clinton attended the groundbreaking ceremony for the project in February 2013.

Sen. Vitter has long suggested that State Department officials are downplaying the threat posed by Boko Haram.

He wrote a letter to Kerry last year about apparent discrepancies between statistics provided to the State Department and the actual language included in the department’s annual reports on global terrorism.

For example, the National Counterterrorism Center’s (NCTC) statistical annex for the 2011 State Department report said that a double-digit percentage increase in attacks in Africa was “attributable in large part to the more aggressive attack tempo of the Nigeria-based terrorist group Boko Haram, which conducted 136 attacks in 2011­—up from 31 in 2010.”

However, the actual Country Reports on Terrorism for 2011 only called Boko Haram a “Nigerian extremist group” that “claimed responsibility for some of these attacks.”

First Class since 1970s, what other school did he attend after that to improve on his capacity? your guess is as good as mine. As at today, I read Atiku abubakar is about to graduate from a university in America. Tinubu has not gone through any course or training in leadership, since he left office in 2007. Little wonder he couldn't identify the attribute of failure in Muhammadu Buhari. He was using the 1980s lens to view a buhari in 2015.

Case of kettle calling pot black.
All they've is tribalism and Pandora, same Pandora that has been explained by Peter Obi over and over again.

Meanwhile before you were born Tinubu was already selling drugs and laundering the money.


MEANWHILE OBI HAS SAID HE DIDN'T GRADUATE WITH A THIRD CLASS, HE SAID YOU SHOULD GO TO UNN AND VERIFY.

Senator Vitter's letter to John Kerry on Hilary Clinton's links and shady dealings with Chagoury


March 17, 2015
The Honorable John Kerry
Secretary of State
U.S. Department of State
2201 C Street, N.W.
Washington, D.C. 20510
Dear Secretary Kerry:
Like many Americans, I am incredibly concerned about the recent revelations that former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has kept official federal records hidden from the public, both through an external email domain and in deciding to delete thousands of these records. While the State Department is in the process of reviewing the documents Secretary Clinton has provided, I am requesting that the Department provide all additional files specifically relating to the designation of Boko Haram as a terrorist organization during former Secretary Clinton’s term and seek out any related files which may not have already been turned over by Secretary Clinton.
As I have in the past, I commend your November 2013 decision to designate Boko Haram as a Foreign Terrorist Organization. However, given the drastic foothold Boko Haram was allowed to gain prior to being designated an FTO, the nexus between the Department’s decision against designating Boko Haram as an FTO and connections to outside groups should be brought forward. Associated records should have been preserved as evidence of the agency’s activities, decisions and procedures. These should be presented to the relevant committees and to the American public to be evaluated for corresponding misconduct.
Last year, I presented the Department with evidence that multiple State Department Country Reports on Terrorism, presented to Congress under Secretary Clinton’s direction, failed to include valuable information related to Boko Haram. Inaccuracies within official documents make it clear that the State Department misled Congress and the American people. Additional evidence demonstrates that multiple Department employees who were directly involved in the decision against designating Boko Haram as an FTO, including the Office Coordinator for Counterterrorism, have been Clinton Foundation employees. Disturbingly, while the Department was refusing to make the FTO designation, former President Bill Clinton, also the head of the Clinton Foundation and account owner of the Clinton email domain, participated in events with a long-time donor and major Nigerian land developer, Gilbert Chagoury, who previously agreed to a $66 million plea deal during international investigation into corruption charges against him. We need to know if Mr. Chagoury had any influence in the decision not to designate Boko Haram an FTO, or had any other influence with Sec. Clinton’s foreign policy decisions.
Between this history of involvement and the recent revelations regarding Secretary Clinton’s record keeping, I strongly believe it is essential to re-establish trust in the Department to provide the related materials to the public. If funds from the Clinton Foundation were used to pay for the email server, it would constitute a financial benefit from the Clinton Foundation and donations from foreign businessmen who directly stood to gain from Clinton’s decision, which is questionable at best.
I have long opposed the foreign donations to the Clinton Foundation as a conflict of interest for Secretary Clinton due to the nature of the job. Moreover, as you are aware, the Code of Federal Regulations requires federal agencies to make and preserve records that duly document agency activity. Former Secretary Clinton’s actions in conjunction to information I have previously presented to the Department where she circumvented and misled Congress should be closely examined.
The purpose of the law is to ensure that agency activities are available to be reviewed when needed -- such as for FOIA requests or congressional inquiries. Each federal agency is responsible for maintaining its records in accordance with regulations. Due to the highly unusual nature of the current circumstance, I am asking you to demonstrate the Department’s commitment to transparency and to provide all files related to their decision not to designate Boko Haram an FTO, and all communication with Mr. Chagoury or his affiliated businesses.
These actions, if true, run contrary to the trust placed in the Department, as a representative of the United States and constitutional government. It is imperative to fully disclose relevant information to the American public.
Sincerely,
David Vitter
United States Senate
