Tinubu accused the media organisations of assassinating his character over an alleged drug trafficking case previously treated in the United States.

The Director, Media and Publicity, APC Presidential Campaign Council, Bayo Onanuga, in a statement via his Facebook page on Saturday, said a suit would be filed over the case “sooner than later.”

Onanuga’s statement comes on the heels of the Independent National Electoral Commission’s (INEC) denial of investigating a criminal case against Tinubu.

He accused media organisations, but not Vanguard, of being paid by the presidential candidates of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP and Labour Party, LP, Abubakar Atiku and Peter Obi, respectively to spread fake news against Tinubu

He stated, “All those people, including Arise TV, BusinessDay and Channels tv spreading fake news and assassinating the character of Asiwaju Tinubu will meet us in court sooner than later.

“You have all thrown professionalism and objectivity to Jabi Lake because you are playing the script of your master puppeteers, Atiku and Peter Obi. The height of your shenanigans today was the wide use of a fake INEC statement,” he said.
Recall that during the week, documents circulated in the public space detailing a forfeiture of money via the US District Court for the Northern District of Illinois purported to be linked to alleged drug trafficking by Tinubu.

The documents however did not show that Tinubu was put on trial or that he had dealings with drug trafficking rings. The documents also showed the case was concluded about 30 years ago
The matter, according to the report, led to Tinubu’s forfeiture of $460,000 in one of the 10 accounts linked to the former Lagos state governor.

Tinubu’s campaign also said the forfeiture was for taxes not paid on income accruing to the ruling party’s candidate.

The greatest purveyors of fake news is the tinubu gang.
Urchins have almost destroyed nairaland with lies, fake news, fake reports, misleading headings and so on.

Most important, we are waiting for emilodrugs to take people to court on the matter of forfeiting $460K dollars to the US government due to his involvement in drug dealings.

It’s about time. They took it too far.

This deliberate campaign of calumny against targeted Presidential candidates by unprofessional and rascally media miscreants must stop.

Regardless, Rufai and his gang of inconsolable pessimists Labour in vain, because the swearing-in of Asiwaju is only a matter of months.

PrinceOfLagos:

Stop talking nonsense

Did the U.S released Tinubu dealing papers or Not ?

Tinubu wants to destroy what's left of his name
