So what did he have in USA that led to his money being forfeited to the US government?

Tax money was taken from his account, not drug money. That’s why it is a civil case. No case involving drug money is treated in civil case. It is a criminal case when drugs are involved.

Racoon:
You accounts were the conduit pipes of a Chicago heroin drug gang running while your name was mentioned all over the case. Your co-drug baron were indicted and convicted.Yet you are saying you were not a party to this criminality. A friend to a criminal is also a criminal.

If a drug baron you never knew was a drug baron drops money in your account, then you must be selling drugs too?

PerfectJUSTICE:
Baba did you involve yourself with drugs related issues or not? Simply put, You do or you no do?

I can only see plenty of wailing in your question 😂😂😂

Sowore will do or say anything to trend. I thought he was an investigative journalist. He should do the needful. Fly to the UK and find out what happened.

By the way, those who know this dude should tell him to return to his state of origin and start his political career from there.

You cannot become president in Nigeria if you don't have a political track record people can use to assess you. I suppose he knows this but chose to embark on a wild goose chase.

You goofed. He is right. It is very curious to have a duplicate ID in this day of biometrics. Obi has a lot to answer. That’s why he was given detention order. Probably drug related.

RighChannel:
Yeye people, they should keep on deceiving themselves

You go wail tire. 😂. Better go back to selling your gala under the bridge.

ganisucks:
Just look at this clown. He's still pretending he's an impartial party. He wants Nigerians to lose hope and accept Tinubu's administration. The clowns in SWAGA are the most unintelligent, incompetent bunch of juvenile characters, if there ever was one.
You are still campaigning, after Election. Instead of beefing up your defence in court; you are engaging yourself in nonsense kindergarten physiological propaganda. I pity you people.

It has been 8 hours or more since Chimamanda's interview, and the APC has no response to her intelligible brilliant interview. In one swoop, she knocked out the entire APC like a bowling ball.

SeeEyeHey has already stylishly given DSS yellow card. That angle has been blocked.

Biden has began his Corleone campaign. I guess Baba Lagos will be his Moe Greene.

Who is Chimamanda Adichie where political juggernauts are seated. When was she borne? What political experience does she have? These igbo boys like beating their chest a lot.

Peter Obi and Datti are traitors of this country and its people. People must stop attending Datti university and stop patronising Peter Obi business. They are now persona non grata in this country.

Johnjustice:
Chimamanda is acting like an agent, undermining our national interest, am not surprised Chimamanda in cohorts with Obi and Datti are working with foreign interest. Our DSS must wake up, Hundeyin as well might be working with them. Countries and organizations with sinister interest might be working with them to undermine our stability and growth, cause mass civil unrest by spreading fake information and propaganda, especially through social media.

I agree with you. They are traitors to this country and should be treated as such.

TemplarLandry:
One of the few honorable Ibo leaders who are gonna be on the favorable side of history. Well said incoming Senator, Dave Umahi. The only serving governor that's a Civil Engineer, a First Class graduate at that!

If any igbo will lead Nigeria in future, it is Umahi. He should continue to reach out across the Niger.

press9jatv:
Obi challenged the APM that the suit was statute-barred. However, the Appeal Court said it is not statute-barred but APM has no locus, no jurisdiction.



Once a court declares that a person or body has no locus standi, the Court has no jurisdiction to rule on same. If they do, it is null and void in totality.



Simply put, what a party does can only be challenged by an aspirant in that same Party. It is no business of another Political Party or even any other member.



PS: Just to add, very recently in February, the SC stated that it is the exclusive Prerogative of a Party to grant waivers. (See Akan Udofia v Ita Enang). Kekere-Ekun JSC stated that waivers fall into the domestic affairs of a Party and the Court has no business with it.

That is wrong. The rulings of Supreme Court in cases of Zamfara and Bayelsa in 2019 where PDP challenged the nomination by APC overrides that of court of Appeal in this case. Go and read the judgements. APC lost their elections in both states based on the eligibility challenge by PDP.

AcuraZDX:
According to section 77 of the INEC Electoral Act 2022, each political party SHALL make their register available within 30 days before primaries, but SHALL in this legislative intent does not have fixed or inflexible meaning.

Its statutory provision here directs a manner of conduct to guide officials, and hence, maybe given a permissive or directory interpretation.



The Constitution requires a candidate to be SPONSORED by a party, but there's no prescription as to the age of your membership for you to be validly sponsored. Once the candidate is duly designated (primaries or concensus), s/he's good. PO could have joined LP the day of primary.

On his relationship with PDP and LP, I'm just sitting here laughing like Lafia. 😂🤣

The meticulous man he is, PO had everything planned & sceneriazed to perfection, as even APC acknowledged in their response:

1. Resigned from PDP 20/05;
2. Joined LP 27/05;
3. LP primaries 30/05.

Summarily, APC don't have the locus standi on the issue of how long Peter Obi had been or should have been in LP before his nomination.

If Obi was not a confirmed and shameless political prostitute, we wont be talking about dates he jumped bed from one party to the other. He should bear the brunt of his political prostitution in court.

Massiveglory:
If this really came from yakubu INEC, it is a seal that the presidential election was rigged and sold to tinubu.
It is a seal that INEC was compromised.

PODATTI court prayers dazed a serious blow to many.
It was skilfully and intelligently packaged to test the process that produced Tinubu,test INEC and the judiciary.

We are in for a jolly good ride that will correct many things in our nation and launch the new Nigeria.

Have you drank some nkpurum mirin? Or you don’t know how to read? Or both?

Many of you have cassava inside your brains. That’s why you fanatically follow a scammer called Obi Pandora. Did Bola Ahmed Tinubu claim to have gone to that College?

press9jatv:
Only a member of the LP can challenge the membership of Peter Obi. The Court can best describe the APC as meddlesome interlopers and busybodies.

That’s not true. It is only correct if they are contesting among themselves in their party. But where the contest is between parties, the process of selection or eligibility of their candidate can be challenged by other parties.

press9jatv:
you are just a clueless novice here, you are ignorant of what you are saying here. Wole Olanipekun technicality case will be knocked out joor. Appeal Court of justice have even ruled on the matter too. Wole Olanipekun technicality case is a pre election matter and it’s only the federal high court of justice that can entertained it

The Court of Appeal sitting in Abuja has dismissed an appeal by the Allied Peoples Movement, APM, seeking to disqualify Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, LP, from the February 25 general election.



In the appeal marked: CA/ABJ/CV/1414/2022, the Movement had approached the court, contending that the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, ought not to have recognized Peter Obi as a valid candidate for the presidential poll.



APM said this was in consideration of the time Obi defected from the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, to the LP.







The party argued that the period of Obi’s defection for the purpose of contesting the presidential election was in violation of sections 77(2) and (3) of the Electoral Act, 2022.



They also argued that before Obi’s defection, the LP already sent a list of its registered members to the INEC.





According to the appellant, Obi lacked the right to be recognized as the LP flagbearer because his name was not on the list of the party members that was submitted to INEC.



APM further urged the court to set aside the Federal High Court judgment which dismissed the suit it filed to challenge Obi’s candidacy.



In a unanimous decision by a three-member panel of Justices, the appellate court said there was no merit in the appeal filed by APM.

We know that. But there’s lack of diligent prosecution by APM. Their arguments were weak and created loopholes for the judges to lap on to.

mbaise1000:
Attacking that man will not change anything, we are in nigeria, I think that the best way to clear the name of tinubu is to proved that that man lied, if it were the other way round now, I think you would have been supporting that man now and you want those on the other side elto start looking at the man first? Fortunately what people say here doesn't mean anything, what matters is whether tinubu is actually a drug man or not

No!!! He should know better because you will go to jail if involves in drugs. He should know that. That's why I think he is sick for supporting this ridiculous propaganda

coolplanet:
We are not arguing but educating ourselves.

Point of correction. Inec will do screening first and verify what you submitted.it is their failure if they didn't do so. I think there should be punishment attached to it Incase inec fails

I have read it in INEC regulations and electoral law. It is not the job of INEC to verify certificates and facts of the eligibility of a candidate. The candidates just need to make statements of facts which confirm their eligibility. It is the job of opposition to challenge such facts in court.

FreeStuffsNG:
How is not suing Atiku and PDP pre election matter? How is the absence of Mr Obi's name on the register as at the deadline pre-election matter? Even if there is a waiver , it must be submitted even before the primaries and acknowledged by INEC and accompany his petition but Mr Obi resigned from PDP on May 27, joined LP on May 28 and primary held on May 30 while he was not yet a member of LP.

It is the legality of his membership and participation which he is using to file a petition so if he has no locus standi the courts have no basis wasting its time!

The APC willfullly waited till now after the election so that Mr Obi can cancel Alhaji Atiku of PDP and Obi did the job for APC. Now it is time to legally dispense with Obi for doing a thankless job of destroying PDP.

You are 100% spot on. The Obi supporters know nothing. Very soon they will be crying that a fake lawyer told them they would win. Just like the bogus polls they organised for themselves before the election.

press9jatv:
APC response in the Presidential election petition tribunal will be dismissed for lacking merit. It’s only Lp that can take a candidate to the court and not other political parties . Supreme Court of justice have ruled on that. APC will suffer another defeat in the tribunal court of justice.

You don’t know the precedence set in law. Read the Bayelsa and Zamfara governorship petition cases to know that opposition can seek disqualification of aspirants because they are contesting against opposing parties, not within themselves as party.

Yourprick:
Allied people movement already took the case to court, Why does apc still want Peter obi disqualification ....https://dailypost.ng/2023/02/08/appeal-court-dismisses-apms-suit-seeking-peter-obis-disqualification/

As at the time of LP primaries, PO was still a PDP member. That’s the meat of the argument. The Supreme Court will do justice to that.

The man has got mental health problems. He should be assessed asap. Otherwise what’s his business with Nigeria? Has he been settled by Obi followers to do a dirty job, as he is jobless and retired.

And the people are so foolish they keep going to their church.

coolplanet:
You are totally wrong. The inec must do screening of names including verification. Go and read the electoral law. If that is the case, a criminal or drug lord can be approved by Inec then opposition should wait after an election to oppose in court.

No point arguing with you. All the people disqualified by courts, why did INEC not sue them? Why was it the opposition that did that?

Nordy:
You that is a legal luminary, you don't seem have an in-depth idea on how one becomes a member of a party.
As the case unfolds detailed evidences (including certified forensic analysis) will be tender at the court so hold your breath is gonna be a bumper ride.
However what APC put up is so fragile, the couldn't find any fraudulent case against PO unlike the other way round were substance( White for that matter) was identified.

We have evidence that shows Obi resigned on 20th May 2022 from PDP. As at that time he was not an LP member, and he contested for presidency of LP. This is a nullity in law.

a4cube:
Professor of law, how can Shetimah contest with two nominations?

It is not against the law. He contested as senator and vp in same constituency. He did not change his constituency.

KINGS100:
this matter has been treated before and the court ruled that Obi is a legitimate candidate of Labor Party and its going to stand in this case. Obi Legal team have evidence on polling unit bases, you are just ignorant of the fact.

No court ruled on his eligibility in the past. And if they have polling unit evidence why wit-hold it from the defence?

coolplanet:
Was inec sleeping when they accepted his name?

Its not for INEC to dispute that. Its the job of opponents. Go and read the law.

In a new court document released by Uber Facts, the $460k Bola Tinubu forfeited was a penalty for trafficking narcotics and not tax fine as some APC spokespersons have been saying.


On the docket, it's boldly written;

Nature of the suit: Box 625 was ticked (Drug related seizure)

Tinubu committed six federal crimes in the US and even lied to FBI too.

See below

Are you so stupid? You read “Nature of Suit” as the heading of that paragraph, and you conclude that’s the judgement? Are you okay?

Newton2024:
Those who are close to Tinubu will never make this your dumb comment because they know what you don't know. What you don't know senior you. They asked Obi to go to court but since Obi has gone to court, agbado criminals have lost their peace.

As it is now, Tinubu can sell all his supporters and use its proceed to pacify Obi. You think it's a joke.

You are talking rubbish. Many of you are legal illiterates. Otherwise, reading Obi’s petition alone is enough to throw in the towel for all of you zombidiots. There’s no substance in that petition. Obi will lose on so many grounds.

Danisaint112:
They know this. And that is why them and their headless mob have left the message and attacking the messenger. 😂 I call the case a blokos clinging case

Peter Obi grabbed them in their scrotum only to find out their balls weren't made of steel as their Agbado loving mob always claim.

See how they are running helter seketas es skatters like someone that his wife is about to be snatched, for a man they always claimed to be boy and not in their league. 🤣

Any sound lawyer with experience knows that Obi has nothing in that petition. Again, like the fake polls that gave you false sense of optimism that Obi was winning, the fake lawyers have started giving you false hopes to masturbate on. And when eventually Obi loses in court, you will shout blue murder again.

mrvitalis:
That's their best approach but it's lame and no bearing what so ever

Many of you are legally illiterate. If you know the law, you will see that their counter argument is very strong and compelling. How can Obi contest election when he was not a member of LP? How can Obi claim irregularities without giving evidence on polling unit basis? Answer those questions based on the law.

Tntsi:
For the morally bankrupt elders and youths who are turning a blind eye , supporting evil and giving useless factchecks.

If you say forfeiture is not a crime, why is the EFCC applying for forfeiture of properties believed to be proceeds gotten illegally?

If forfeiture is not a crime, why is the government of our nation making deziani madueke lose her properties abroad and in Nigeria?

Answer these questions and know that bola tinubu is an international embrassment. And anyone or organization trying to cover him is a criminal being or a criminal organization.

Tinubu should make his way to Nigeria as quick as possible to appear before the court and Nigerians.

Go to court and prove it. Dont go about giving bribes to journalists who have no balls to investigate the truth, but rather regurgitating what fake information Obi is presenting before the court.
