It's time to clear the ignorance of that baseless discussion.

Tinubu wasn't even involved directly in the drug case, as at that time, he was more like an exchanger. Naira to USD, USD to Naira. Anybody can be your clients, how they source their money is none of your business.

The money forfeited was for the drug money deposited into Tinubu's account as an exchanger which was meant for a client.
But it's a fine. The law says he should not be fined by any competent court or authority for alleged fraud

The US embassy have made it clear Asiwaju was never found guilty of any drug related case in the USA.

Asiwaju court case in the US happened more than 25 years ago and is not within the jurisdiction of Nigeria.

The tribunal go throw away this particular case.
Don't mind those fucking stubborn flies that die with corpse. The drug issue supposed to be a pre election matter and such would not be entertained

there's nothing like preelection matter here.
This law does not give a time frame to which it should apply.

Thank you for disagreeing

Well, there was a "fine" to forfeit $460k. So why did he forfeit it?
So if you're fined for a car packing infringement in the past; it means you're now an ex-convict? 🤡
This case will be Tinubu's easiest case; you see that eligibility and FCT matter will be first thrown into dustbin.

The law did not say that you have to be an ex-convict. Read it again, you are an adult and should be able to understand simple English language

Nah you post this section yourself, yet, you still believe Asiwaju is not qualified to contest because of a case that happened over 25 years ago 😆

For the fact that you believe a crime committed over 50 years ago is no longer punishable by the law due to the time lapse speaks volumes of the condition of those cogs that are grinding inside the very heavy place which you call a head undecided

A lot of these cases against Tinubu have been quashed by the appellate court even before the election. Tinubu wont even debate this. He'll just bring a copy of all the judgements and this case will be thrown out.

That's true, but the United States, where the supposed issue occurred, have come out to say a bargaining between both parties occurred and a forfeiture was made by one party to the other, it looks complicated though.

That plea bargaining thats a consent judgement and a fine

I have just carefully gone through this Peter Obi’s election petition and I have come to the conclusion that Peter Obi is the most dangerous man in this here country called Nigeria.

Not only is he challenging the fraud for an election, but he is putting the entire country on trial for allowing a drug baron qualify to run and thereafter proceeded to rig the election.

Tinubu has for the longest refused to address his drug past and because of that, he refused to attend unscripted interviews and INEC and the Nigerian courts refused to disqualify him even when it was obvious that he has a drug past. The storm is now gathering!

Fast forward to “GO TO COURT”.. Peter Obi has now placed Tinubu’s drug records front and center of his petition by front loading the certified true copies of his drug related asset forfeiture as required by the evidence act and stating that Tinubu ought not to have been qualified to stand for the election.

The twist is that since PO is not the author of the said document, someone from the US justice department must be subpoenaed to be led in evidence to present the document in court and I am 1000% sure that the US department of Justice has assured PO’s lawyers that with a subpoena, they will fly in DEA special Agent Moss to come authenticate the Tinubu’s drug related forfeiture court documents.

Perhaps Nigeria is about to be jolted on an international level embarrassment that will be beamed worldwide. This was avoidable if Nigerian courts had done the needful by disqualifying Tinubu!

APC members of this forum should get ready to watch the DEA special agent Moss who arrested Tinubu testify in the tribunal about Tinubu’s drug past and we will assess how the criminal minded Nigerian judges will surmount that embarrassment and still rule that Tinubu is qualified.








I like you guys resilience in giving yourself false hope🤣🤣 .. This is the way your thinking were channeled before, during & now after the Elections.. Your Lamentations will be louder when the case gets thrown out at the Tribunals & as expected you all will start shouting the Judges have been bought

Keep your emotions and insult aside. State laws and make us understand why it does not apply to BAT.

Talk intelligently.


It is not applicable because ....there is no competent court in the world that has convicted him of drugs related offense ...if there is, show me...
And perhaps this is the law wants to use to annul the election...then I can emphatically tell. you that you are chasing shadow...

If this is what obi and his minions are banking on, they must be stupid and uneducated, because it doesn't apply to Tinubu in any way shape or form. The judge won't waste time at all on this rubbish, they'll throw it out right away.

Tinubu was never arrested, he was never charged with any crime, he was never convicted or even fined for anything or ever on trial. The US case was a court proceeding, not a trial. Tinubu did not even lose 1 kobo of his money.

This is when people don't read and comprehend the issues they wail and lament over.

Btw, the law you highlighted says 10 years before the election so do simple arithmetic and feel sorry for yourself.
