This is just too sad and comical. Biden will lose reelection because of Tinubu?

I think the admission requirement to be obedient is you have to be dumb, shallow, ridiculous and clueless.

I think the reason for the forfeiture is as a result of him not paying taxes.....
That's not what the actual case said

Did you even read your last statement? I hope you wont be Tinubu's lawyer. You would have ended up implicating him further

This is quite sad....do you know how many times Tinubu was taken to court for this....but it ended up in trash can. This won't be different, it will end up in the waste bin.

That was not a fine.

But it's a fine. The law says he should not be fined by any competent court or authority for alleged fraud

It was not a fine.

It was a forfeiture.

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.

Worch, you can't even comprehend that section of the constitution. Tinubu is not under a sentence. To be under a sentence means that you are currently serving a jail term.

Nnamdi Kanu is in custody but he isn't under a sentence.

You celebrate mediocrity and spread fake news you get from Twitter.

You people have still not gotten the gist. The court will determine who had the first, second and third highest lawful votes, not the ones INEC allocated to parties and called collation.

Then why did Obi not prosecute his case in that regard that he came first in the election instead of seeking for disqualification ?

The court is not INec. Only Inec can determin who has most vote . The court can only decide on " proven" electoral dispute. The court does not count vote or allocate vote besides even the judgement Of The Supreme court will not please you if it goes againt Your Own personal judgment. Your only wishing the Supreme court will judge the matter based on what you read On social media and propaganda media houses. Anyways let's fold our arms and see.

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.
So you admit he was guilty of something? BTW, when were you unbanned?

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.
is there a time frame for fraud and drug peddling case? Italian mafia men are still being arrested today for crimes they committed 50 years ago and u are talking of a 25 year ago crime.

Just look at your reasoning. Nnamdi kanu has never been fined, he has never forfeited anything to the state, he has never been jailed so wetin you dey talk sef. Tinubu's case is different. He chose the easier way out. He forfeited those things because he was guilty and going to court would lead to imprisonment. He was guilty and that's why he forfeited the money.

Meanwhile, if na digging game una wan play, the best advice is not to go there cos it will boomerang

Deep inside you, you know very well that OBI must win and there are no way that Tinubu can win this case but your tribalistic mindset can't let you voice the truth, it's a shame because your education is waste

The court can't strike out this case. We're talking about the highest office of the country here and you're talking about striking out the case? Tinubu had the best chance to put this case to rest then when he was supposed to attend interviews. But he arrogantly, proudly and intentionally refused. Now the case has been brought forward, this time around the international communities are involved.
