Peter Obi will be relying on Section 137 of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria to disqualify Bola Ahmed Tinubu's and make his votes wasted votes. So let's see what this sections says and how it may affect the tribunals outcome. (1) A person shall not be qualified for election to the office of President if - (a) subject to the provisions of section 28 of this Constitution, he has voluntarily acquired the citizenship of a country other than Nigeria or, except in such cases as may be prescribed by the National Assembly, he has made a declaration of allegiance to such other country; or (b) he has been elected to such office at any two previous elections; or (c) under the law in any part of Nigeria, he is adjudged to be a lunatic or otherwise declared to be of unsound mind; or (d) he is under a sentence of death imposed by any competent court of law or tribunal in Nigeria or a sentence of imprisonment or fine for any offence involving dishonesty or fraud (by whatever name called) or for any other offence, imposed on him by any court or tribunal or substituted by a competent authority for any other sentence imposed on him by such a court or tribunal; or (e) within a period of less than ten years before the date of the election to the office of President he has been convicted and sentenced for an offence involving dishonesty or he has been found guilty of the contravention of the Code of Conduct; or (f) he is an undischarged bankrupt, having been adjudged or otherwise declared bankrupt under any law in force in Nigeria or any other country; or (g) being a person employed in the civil or public service of the Federation or of any State, he has not resigned, withdrawn or retired from the employment at least thirty days before the date of the election; or (h) he is a member of any secret society; or (i) he has been indicted for embezzlement or fraud by a Judicial Commission of Inquiry or an Administrative Panel of Inquiry or a Tribunal set up under the Tribunals of Inquiry Act, a Tribunals of Inquiry Law or any other law by the Federal or State Government which indictment has been accepted by the Federal or State Government, respectively; or (j) he has presented a forged certificate to the Independent National Electoral Commission. (2) Where in respect of any person who has been - (a) adjudged to be a lunatic; (b) declared to be of unsound mind; (c) sentenced to death or imprisonment; or (d) adjudged or declared bankrupt (e) any appeal against the decision is pending in any court of law in accordance with any law in force in Nigeria, subsection (1) of this section shall not apply during a period beginning from the date when such appeal is lodged and ending on the date when the appeal is finally determined or, as the case may be, the appeal lapses or is abandoned, whichever is earlier.

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. 30 Likes 4 Shares |

skj1377: Before you make opinion public think very well. You can answer this question. He has intellectual working with him. Remember USA are yet to congratulate BAT. Interesting days ahead. Modify 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. 43 Likes 3 Shares |

Workch: 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. |

Let me calibrate you on the wisdom behind using his drug case among other prayers. 1) To show he is a dishonest man. This also shows he is capable of rigging. 2) To overwhelme Tinubu's lawyers so they have their hands full 3) If proven beyond reasonable doubt, he is a goner. 5) Obi is coming from all directions he is gonna feel surrounded 6) Bring the world to focus on this case helinues: 12 Likes 2 Shares |

DMerciful: 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. 7 Likes 1 Share |
