2023 Polls: You’ll be lucky to escape lawsuit, Tinubu’s team tells Chimamanda Adichie

Mrs Adichie had alleged in a letter to President Joe Biden of the US that INEC Chair, Mahmood Yakubu, may have been compromised by Mr Tinubu, who won the recent Nigeria's presidential election.

Dele Alake, the special adviser communications to President-elect, Bola Tinubu, says Chimamanda Adichie may face a lawsuit over an allegation she made against the Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Mahmood Yakubu.

Ms Adichie, in an open letter to US President, Joe Biden, said “Many believe that the INEC chair has been “compromised”.

“…but there is no evidence of the astronomical U.S.-dollar amounts he is rumoured to have received from the president-elect. The extremely wealthy Tinubu is himself known to be an enthusiastic participant in the art of “compromising”; some Nigerians call him a “drug baron” because, in 1993, he forfeited to the United States government $460,000 of his income that a Chicago court determined to be proceeds from heroin trafficking,” she added.

Mr Alake, in a rejoinder issued on Friday, said the novelist will be lucky to avoid being asked to prove her allegation in court.

“Chimamanda will be lucky if she does not have to prove this weighty allegation in court,” he said.

INEC has not responded to the allegation.

Ms Adiche supported the candidate of the Labour Party (LP), Peter Obi, who came third in the presidential election.

Mr Tinubu, the ruling APC candidate, polled a total of 8,794,726 votes to defeat Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) who scored a total of 6,984,520 votes and Mr Obi of the Labour Party (LP), who came third with a total of 6,101,533 votes There were 18 candidates in presidential election which held on 25 February.

Why Tinubu won
While trying to prove the credibility of the election, Mr Alake stated that the decisions of Mr Obi and Rabiu Kwankwaso to defect from the PDP to LP and New Nigeria Peoples Party respectively helped Mr Tinubu to win the election, a task that would have been almost impossible.

“It is instructive that Peter Obi and Rabiu Kwankwaso broke away from the PDP to contest the election on the platforms of the LP and NNPP respectively. Had the PDP contested the election as one with Obi and Kwankwaso in its fold, winning the election would have been an uphill, almost impossible, task for the APC.

“But contesting on three separate platforms against the ruling party as they did, the victory of the APC was logically and empirically inevitable,” he wrote.

Messrs Obi and Kwankwaso dumped the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) just before the primaries.

Meanwhile, Messrs Obi and Atiku are currently challenging the outcome of the presidential election in court.

Which simply means more food for our Lawyers. A welcome development pending on the perspective you tend to look at it

Useless illiterate dele alake the pig.

Point out the charge.. ...mumu.

Is it not rumored that Mr yakubu ate agbado

DELE ALAKE & HIS APC CO - TRAVELLERS ARE PUTTING THE CART BEFORE THE HORSE!!

THEY OUGHT TO SUE BEFORE THREATENING.. NOT MAKE NOISE .. THEN FAIL TO SUE..

DELE SHOULD ALSO ALLOW PROF. MAHMOUD & INEC TO SPEAK FOR THEMSELVES... HE SHOULD SPEAK FOR ONLY TINUBU & APC.

OBVIOUSLY, THE NEXT FOUR YEARS IN NIGERIA WOULD BE CHARACTERIZED BY

-- ENDLESS LITIGATIONS,
-- THUGGERY, INTIMIDATIONS, THREATS & COUNTERS.
-- ETHNO-RELIGIOUS CONFLICT OF DIFFERENT INTENSITY AND MAGNITUDE..

THIS IS OUR UNFORTUNATE FATE THAT BEFALLS COUNTRIES THAT ERRONEOUSLY DEPARTED FROM THEIR GOD-GIVEN POLITICAL STRUCTURE/TEMPLATE OR FACTORY SETTING... REGIONAL GOVERNMENT.

THIS IS WHAT ABURI ACCORD RECOMMENDED.

THIS IS WHAT SOVEREIGN NATIONAL CONFERENCE RECOMMEND.

IF WE DO NOT REVERT TO THIS REGIONAL STRUCTURE.... Mo sorri fun gbogbo yin (LAGBAJA)

Lmfao this ones are just jumping on anything to divert attention from people otherwise People begin to ask were is Tinubu

Shame on the same bad people attacking the great Chimamanda


She merely stated the facts of what of what transpired

They will soon accused her of treason.
Between APC and the deep blue sea

Do you now speak for Yourkobo Manho*d?

Why cry for him if it doesn't spill through you?

And if anything is hollow, it is her well-manicured diva head and not our democracy.

She is not in this league and she would do well to stick to writing fairy tales.

How will FFK make Heaven for God's sake?

APC spokesperson now speaking for INEC chairman.

This already proves some link between APC interests and INEC interests hence the compromise allegation..

Clearly the INEC chairman is compromised

Clowns..you can never find a mentality correct person supporting the old bat except ones doing it for money

Someone is going to join Nnamdi Kanu and Eze Igbo Ajao Estate in their condo





Loading.....

And you get an award for a law suit? Dumb DRUG DADDY supporter


These foolish clowns think they can intimidate an Amazon Chimamanda.

She wrote a letter to Biden and the fools the letter was not addressed to are panicking.

This lady has ruined her chances of winning Nobel prize, she let her emotions push her

I hope Chimamanda did not take an advice from a mad man like Peter Obi when she was penning that open letter to Biden.

APC
a party of thieves and mental patients
Hard to find a reasonable APC follower

The power of the pen. See how a woman is giving all of them sleepless night with ordinary pen......She didn't carry gun o. grin

A party and government whose presidential candidate is an embodiment of fraud and putrifying corruption is telling the world a renowned literary giant committed a crime. Senseless people!

What are they going to charge her with? Essay writing?

Tntsi:

What rude shock?

Is there anything that can't happen in Nigeria?

The rude shock is if tinubu proves us wrong by becoming a decent president.

Thank God she rejected their national award.

They wanted to buy her with awards from dishonourable people.

Is like tinubu is coming to imprison all Nigerians, the media should be ready.
For someone to say the truth, is it a crime?

Which oart of the letter they are suing her for?
Is it the fake certificate, drug case, fraudulent election or manipulated results that are very visible to the blind.

It's really a tragedy that Tinubu's attack dogs now speak for the INEC chairman

Lies,

Na wa ooh for this set of people. Purely ignoramus!

Do you know how Nobel prize winners are nominated? It has nothing to do with critizing a fraudulent governement and politicians.

Who is chasing APC?
Who is giving APC sleeplessness?
Who is APC afraid of?
Is APC not sure yet that INEC declared them winner of the just concluded election?
Are APC no longer the structured political party in Nigeria?
Has APC forgotten that this is Nigeria where no court/judge can dare the sitting president?
It was the will of the people right?

Why is APC not having a good night sleep after the election?
Why are APC still threatened?

Lol. Funniest and dumbest shit have read so far

No be only lawsuit?i tot u will arrest d US citizen n see
