An aide to former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, Paul Ibe, has disclosed that the United States President is now aware of court documents relating to President Bola Tinubu’s alleged past legal records in the US.

Naija News earlier reported that a Washington-based lobbying company, Von Batten-Montague-York L.C., had disclosed that it has begun circulating United States Department of Justice records relating to a decades-old civil forfeiture case involving President Bola Tinubu to officials of the Donald Trump administration and members of Congress.

The firm said the documents were being provided to administration officials, lawmakers and senior congressional aides as part of efforts to draw attention to allegations contained in filings made by US authorities during an investigation in the late 1980s and early 1990s.

Speaking via his 𝕏 account on Wednesday, Ibe alleged that Tinubu’s 60-page US Department of Justice files on alleged heroin trafficking and the forfeiture of $460,000 had been brought to Trump’s attention through a US lobbying firm, Batten Von.

According to Ibe, Nigerians deserve to know the full details of the matter.

He wrote, “Finally, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s @officialABAT 60-page DOJ files on heroine trafficking and forfeiture of $460,000 has been brought to the attention of @realDonaldTrump courtesy of a US lobbyist firm, @batten_von.

“Manuel Noriega on my mind. Nigerians deserve to know the whole truth and nothing but the truth. The best is being saved for last.”

Ibe did not provide evidence to support his claim that Trump had been briefed on the documents or state the nature of any action allegedly taken by the US president regarding the matter.

The drug baron is never going to the UN meeting...lol
The fear of trump is the beginning of wisdom

I'm shocked at Atiku's naivety. The current Syrian president was the head of Al-qaeda. Yet Trump invited him into the oval office. Trump himself has connections with the Russian mob. He doesn't care if Tinubu ran drugs and besides the statue of limitations for that crime has long run out.

Tinubu’s case needs to be revisited. He’s not even showing remorse for his atrocities..

But word has it that the felonious caper in the White House is not impartial to drug dealing. Did he not pardon the Juan Orlando Hernández, a fellow convict, before going after Venezuelan Oil, for instance?

Just a month before US elite troops forcibly removed Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro from power, the former president of another country in the region - who had been found guilty of very similar drug trafficking charges - found himself in the opposite situation: pardoned and freed from jail.

The ex-president of Honduras, Juan Orlando Hernández, was serving a 45-year sentence in an American prison when US President Donald Trump granted him a "full and complete pardon", prompting an outcry among human rights groups and victims across Central America.

Atiku has been poorly advised again, because all I see here is an exercise in futility.

They think the transactional convict gives a rat's arrrse. They clearly have not studied his Donroe Doctrine.

Bunch of my drug dealers are better than yours.

Tinubu was caught with money from a drug dealer in his account. He exposed him and forfeited the money. Case closed.

Obi A Drug Baron from his days in the university with several drug mules including Chinenye still in Asian jail. His enablers and peddlers are calling another drug dealer

Atiku a chronic looter sold Parastatals to himself and promised to sell more!

Which of these 3 leading Presidential candidates would a reasonable people be proud of?

Do you have any other viable candidate apart from the 3?

In fact, Tinubu is the only candidate since APC Twitter sympathiser Amupitan's INEC and Wike's court have ensured no viable candidate will oppose his reelection, even though he is the worst rogue among them.

Wike Boasts Of Helping APC Use Judiciary To Kill Osun LG Funds Case, Warns Party Leaders Against Ingratitude

Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has openly boasted that he assisted certain elements within the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in deploying the judiciary to frustrate the Osun State local government allocation lawsuit.

In a video now circulating widely on social media and obtained by SaharaReporters, Wike made the claim while addressing a crowd in Port Harcourt, Rivers State.

The former Rivers governor accused the APC National Secretary, Senator Ajibola Basiru, of benefitting from judicial actions against the Osun State Government without knowing those who did the work behind the scenes.

The suit in question led to the withholding of local government funds in Osun State, a development widely seen as targeting the administration of Governor Ademola Adeleke as opposition in the state.

Wike, who spoke angrily, suggested that the court action supporting the APC’s position against the Osun government did not happen by chance, boasting that powerful political forces worked quietly to ensure the outcome.

“Don’t take our support for Mr President for granted,” Wike warned, in an apparent message to APC leaders defending Rivers State Governor Siminalayi Fubara. “You have to be careful about the statements you make. You have to be very careful.”

He accused Basiru of political ingratitude, claiming the APC was enjoying in Osun State without understanding who engineered their advantage.

“Today, you are enjoying in Osun. You don’t know those who did the work,” Wike said. “You are opening your mouth to talk about Rivers State.”

Minister Wike has warned the National Secretary of the APC, Ajibola Basiru to stay clear of Rivers State.

I just don't get why some of these low life aide thinks Trump is better than Tinubu or what he says matters on whether Tinubu will win reelection or not. The guys has his own demons and battle so why run to the guyman who speaks with both sides of his mouth and thinks he's Jesus Christ reborn.

They should be reporting Muslim -Muslim ticket to Trump as the reason Christians are neglected and killed everyday. That is the only thing that can get Trump attention not this drug case bcoz Trump self be like who the kpo.

Reason they made Nigeria unenjoyable to us hardworking Nigerians.

In this current hardship and hunger, Tinubu wants to renovate 106 palaces with about N23bn, renovate mosques and churches with about N10bn. Hope you know that votes buying has started?
Na the reason for the massive borrowing of loans from foreign institutions and countries be this.

Don’t mind that Banku, Tinubu had an investment firm in Yankee, the firms account was frozen because it received money from a person that was convicted of dealing in narcotics.

Nothing to do directly with the president, no different from a stock broker receiving money from a client to buy stocks, only to find out afterwards from the court that it was proceeds of fraud.

The money tied to the accused in the investment account was forfeited, nothing with the owner of the account.

No. Better educated? No. Do you have or ever had a business whose name you can mention here? No. Etc etc but somehow you think you are better off than me because I said I don't spend up to eight hundred dollars a year as I don't need more than that? Your mentality sucks. You have a challenge of a mediocre mentality. It is a poverty mentality that you have. You aren't a quality person. You don't understand value and how it is delivered.
