The Atiku/ Okowa Presidential Campaign Organisation has said the mention of the name of the All Progressives Congress ( APC) presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu, in a drug related crime for which monies were forfeited raised moral question and security concern.

Spokesperson of the organisation, Kola Ologbondiyan, in a statement, yesterday, said the country cannot afford to allow anyone with the remotest link to a drug cartel near the Presidential Villa.


The campaign organisation wondered how the country will cope with “a President who will be consistently harassed, intimidated and blackmailed by a drug cartel?”

“It is also disturbing that Asiwaju Tinubu’s handlers are running around an ocean of excuses from where they have been fetching what they believe will convince Nigerians.

“We ask; what business was Asiwaju Tinubu running that such a whopping sum of $460,000 would be deducted as tax from his account?



“It is easily deductible that the $460,000 removed from the account represented the illicit fund that accrued from the drug. That accounts for the reason why no other sum was removed from the account contrary to argument from Tinubu’s minders that the amount represented a tax.

“If indeed, like Asiwaju Tinubu’s handlers have said, Tinubu “took responsibility” for drugs money, it goes with saying that he must also take responsibility for the consequences of that action,” it stated.

There is no moral or whatever burden anywhere. The US government already made it very clear that Tinubu has no moral, criminal or any kind of indictment or conviction whatsoever. Why making an issue out of nothing?

Atiku Abubakar was clearly indicted by the US senate in the igate scandal. He is the one with a moral and criminal baggage and not the person who has been cleared of all allegations.

Oga,Take him to court if you have more prove ....


Nigerians won't accept blackmail. Either

Heavy burden

They will twist the Truth.
But we all know that Bola Tinubu was a rugged drug dealer back in the days..
Atiku is coming

okooo

According to Keyamo,$460,000 was just tax on the interest accrued from Tinubu's investment. Now assume the tax is 10% of the interest, that means the interest is $4.6 million. Similarly, if the interest is 10% of the principal,then the principal is $46 million.
Now let's assume Tinubu's annual salary as an accountant with ExxonMobil back then was $100,000 before tax & that he never spent a dime out of it, then it took Tinubu 460 years to accumulate the $46 million which he invested. One might be tempted to believe that Tinubu is truly an ancestor.
Now Keyamo wants us to believe that the US tax system is flawed & not automated such that deductions are not made at source.
Tinubu must have entered into a plea bargain & snitched on some highly placed members of the drug cartel.
DEA & FBI always want to get to the top of the food chain so In exchange for the credible info he provided, he forfeited $460,000 & they let him go. Mind you even hardcore terrorists r granted amnesty once they help govt with credible info that help apprehend high value targets.
Urchins might be dumb by nature, but the rest of us are not.

We all know there is no drug indictment or conviction against Tinubu. Tinubu was never charged to court in the matter and he got a substantial part of his money back. The US government has stated clearly that he has no case with them unlike Atiku that was criminally indicted by the US senate.

In the case of Atiku

Gibberish. He's obviously talking about himself who bribed a USA senator.

It's quite stupid to say the owner of a Bank or investment company is a criminal just because a criminal saved his money into the said Bank or investment company. Even HSBC once had a case of such like Tinubu's compass investment company. It doesn't make the owner a criminal. I mean, does it make sense to any reasonable brain?

Why did he forfeit money?

Why did he forfeit money?

He was a senator when the issue came up. What’s the point going to waste time and money in the US fighting a case when it’s easier, cheaper and more convenient to settle out of court and lose just a little out of the money?

If the money is drug money, the US government will never give him back the substantial part of the money and they will never give him full clearance like they did.

If all you have to do to get over a drug or criminal case is to just part away with less than 30% of money alleged to have been criminally gotten, Hushpuppi would have made similar deal with the US and he won’t be in prison today after losing every single kobo found on him. Use your brain buddy and stop the nonsense.

Seriously?
And you think American investigators are dumb right?

Or you think the rest of us are?

That forfeiture kept Tinubu out of jail.

Who gives a hoot over a drug kingpin turned senator. They would have picked him from the belly of the Senate chamber if they needed to.

lol, how could forfeiture keep him out of jail when he was not even charged to court in the first place? Are you guys really this dumb?

Can someone go to jail without being charged to court for a criminal offense? There was no criminal case to start with. It was simply a civil case of forfeiture. Do you understand what a civil case is?

No offenses meant.

Not at all. Those batteries were old ones we used in my business centre. By the day the questions you aske is just to mock yourself not me. Is there anything wrong being a mechanic? Is it not a job. You who have been scamming people online can still mock people? A fraudlent person like you can talk?

You thought you could mock me but I have to outsmart you. Let us be polite on the net. If you are offended, sorry. But learn to be polite and civil. Election should not be do or die. Vote your candidate and let me vote mine

I have no personal hatred against you or anyone. But your question that am I a mechanic is very rude to me. I am a graduate of many years. I should be old enough to be your uncle or father. You cannot see me face to face and ask me such question. Because I am on Nairaland does not mean I am a baby.

Like Hushpuppi isn't ready to cooperate with the authorities? Just look at the Dullard. Meanwhile, Hushpuppi was first arrested before arraigned in court. Nothing of such happened to Tinubu because he's not a criminal. Owning an investment company isn't criminal and USA officials who are not stupid like some Nigerians know that.

If you know you are talking to an old man then give me my due respect. Be polite. Be respectiful. You just dont talk to people anyhow. I dont know why the choice of candidate should be your concern.
