Maybe Tinubu has bought USA too. The way some people reason sef... The next thing is to challenge his primary school certificate, jobless fellows.

How can any court ask me to forfeit ordinary 1kusd of my hard-earned money, (if not legitimately sourced) and deposited in my account...and I'd not challenge and claim it back when im not father Christmas? Wonderful!

FreeStuffsNG:
“The Respondent states that, in any event, the impleaded decision of the United States District Court, Northern District of Illinois Eastern Division is not a decision by a competent court of law or tribunal in Nigeria; and same has been falsely, mischievously paraded by 2nd Respondent’s political adversaries like the petitioners, detractors and haters to scandalize, demonize and de-market him to the Nigerian electorate at the 25th February 2023 general election with a view to delegitimizing his well-earned victory at the polls, despite all legitimate and fact-checked denials and rebuttals as exemplified by the official report from the United States affirming his innocence and exonerating him from the touted drug connection and criminal conviction.

This part is pregnant. It officially links Mr Obi with all the slanderers and criminal defamers cyberbullies working for him online.

Why did Tinubu forfeit the said money and where did he get d money from in the first place?

SmartPolician:
Wole Olanipekun and his defence counsel can write or claim anything in defence of Tinubu, but they should stop making reference to US consulate or embassy in Nigeria. An embassy in a foreign country is just a business centre and will never get involved in your local politics in a way that it jeopardizes their business interests.

By the way, I didn't see anything convincing in defence of why Tinubu forfeited $460k on drug-related offenses. On no grounds will any legit citizen work hard, save up such an amount and forfeit it to the state. We are talking about over #300 million here.

This case isn't just about the morality of justices who will hear the case, but where Nigeria stands on the war against narcotics and being an enabler of drug-related criminality.

The law is blind to emotions Nd will only adjudicate on what on placed before it and review arguments against or for as presented by parties to the case.

“The said decision is not against the 2nd Respondent (Tinubu) but against the funds in the various account opened in the name of Bola Tinubu with First Heritage Bank and City Bank N.A.

$460k in 1993
Imagine the value of that money then and in today's value

Forfeiting such amount if it's legitimate money.
APC are dunce

An admission with an excuse.


As someone up there said “This case isn't just about the morality of justices who will hear the case, but where Nigeria stands on the war against narcotics and being an enabler of drug-related criminality“.

The judiciary is on trial and the world is waiting. May God help us.

Obidients can keep making noise about this for all to read, it's now amusing honestly.

colorsofrainbow:


OBJ had no solid direct evidence as it is now. Was more like a rumour at that time.. Now,all the documents regarding the criminal drug case are intact dug out & in the public domain with witnesses in line. Don't try to compare this to obj cos u will be making huge mistakes on that basis.

Obj will help nail him permanently.. tinubu have too many enemies.. and incompetent boys... Watch out for may 29th ...

citygarden:
Finger Cross, tinubu will win this case. Is dead on arrival. Obi only want to try his luck. You can see the petition obi wrote to the court. He only want the Court to disqualify tinubu and court should order fresh election. He didn't claim he won the election as stated before he went to court. This case of drug have been tested in the courts doing obasanjo regime tinubu won upon being opposition to the government . Talk less of when is now awaiting gcfr.

If Tinubu wins the case then everyone in jail with related criminal charges should be released. Lawyers will always refer to the case between Tinubu and..... On drug money.....
Such cases will cease to be a crime.
God help Nigeria.

Larryndelaw:
Did younjust say Embassies of a country in another country is just like a business centre. That's why I said Obidient are just bunch of illiterate. Okay let's assume it's so,why are you people calling the same American Embassies and EU to cone and rescue OBIFOOL.

Lol, apt.

The poster like all Obidients have extremely low IQ.

Embassies/Consulates represents the country’s government in other countries they’re domiciled in.

Why did Tinubu forfeit the said money and where did he get d money from in the first place?

What kind of useless question is that, i have a friend who just forfeited a land because he was scammed. To forfeit is not conviction

PulaPower:

It’s not a defense. It’s a clarification for the misinformed..

What you people are doing is even petty, compare to what Obj did. Nothing wey Obj no use Ribadu try ontop tinubu matter, yet they found nothing..

Your president-elect has never been convicted for any crime..

u only forfeit when u are guilty of a crime. Some go to jail and forfeit a Saudi amount of money and some forfeit without going to jail. They were still guilty a crime.

Even hushpuppi won't forfeit all the money he stole. its not like I'm Nigeria where u will forfeit more than u stole.

lexy2014:


If you aren't defending, then what are you clarifying?

How did Tinubu come by the $460k that he forfeited?

Why does the "clarification" admit that Tinubu forfeited the $460k?

Although not convicted of any crime, why did the US govt ask Tinubu to forfeit the money?

Everything would be clarify to you when court starts

Obidients Spin Untruths As Truths

From the litany of evidence, it's as clear as day that Tinubu was not convicted for any drug related crime. Yet, coconut-head, dimwits and slow-to-grasp Obidients, with fascist tendencies, would never accept this truth. It's either they spin it to support their blind arguments or they spew out fresh gibberish of untruths. Imagine one mentally deficient calling the US embassy a business centre?

Make Una leave tinubu alone.them no dey fit punish big man

So Tinubu just dashed US the money simply put, or US extorted Tinubu of his hard earned money.

Only a foolish lawyer will try to defend Tinubu a Drug trafficker and money launderer with multiple Bank accounts for illigal transfers.
So Tinubu Forfeited $460k just for fun to help the USA economy?

aceman88:


According to the write-up, APC's argument here is that, the American Court was not against Tinubu but the various sums of money lodged in his account ooo.

So those crucifying Tinubu should free him ooo because the guilty person here is his money which American Court has arrested and prosecuted and not his very person who is innocent. In APC's voice ooo

If I may ask you, is he the only one having such amount in American bank?
What of those that has billions of dollars in American bank? Why did they not forfeit their money?
So why Tinubu?
To tell the truth he has skeleton in his cupboard.

This is even unnecessary.

The excerpt below should be enough clarification:

It told the Presidential Election Petition Court, PEPC, sitting at the Court of Appeal in Abuja, that funds in the said accounts, which were domiciled in both First Heritage Bank and Citi Bank N. A, were subject to a “civil forfeiture proceeding” in Case No: 93C4483.

It shows it’s a civil case and in saner climes, this petition would’ve been thrown out of court.

I think they’re more interested in character assassination and smear campaign - since they really know they have no case.

….insists he was not convicted of crime

SmartPolician:


Remove Nuhu Ribadu from there because he now plays partisan politics. Dude was the presidential flag bearer of Tinubu's ACN in 2011. The Ribadu who chaired EFCC and today's Ribadu are not the same.

As for Tinubu, he forfeited the money through plea bargaining. There's no way a legit hustler will forfeit over #300 million on drug-related offenses if he is not involved.

Really?? $460k in 1993 was #300m.. now I understand you all…

Even if the 2003 letter from the uS consulate was to be considered, latest events have overtaken it.
It only recently emerged from confirmed documents from American authorities that he forfeited such monies. The Apc lawyers should know better than going back to a letter from 2003.

Well apc had done the right thing but personally I don't care about either drug case or whatever all I care for is Tinubu is the next president come May 29 and obi will never rule Nigeria till he die.

Obi and his occultic movement can do their worst.
