There was NO plea bargaining in 1993 for hard drugs trafficking in the United States by the then Senator 'Bola Tinubu. It's all IRRESPONSIBLE FAKE news which gets circulated every election cycle and even every year to defame this man who is now the President of Nigeria by his highly IRRESPONSIBLE political opponents who do NOT carry out due diligence or who engage in ethnic bigotry and toxic hatred. The so-called 1993 forfeiture was a civil case NOT a criminal case that had to do with the payment of a backlog of unpaid taxes as of 1993 on the then Senator 'Bola Tinubu's U.S. investments linked to his 8 bank accounts that contained about $1.8 million. After the forfeiture of about $460,000, the remaining balance was returned to his bank accounts by the Federal authorities. The United States doesn't engage in plea bargains with drug barons or drug traffickers as those are very serious offences and all funds in your banks accounts will get seized for links to drugs. Nigerians are indeed gullible for believing this recycled FAKE story. Period!

Even in the year 2003, Micheal Bonner, the then United States Embassy Legal Attache CLEARLY exonerated the then Governor 'Bola Tinubu of ever being arrested or convicted on United States soil in an official correspondence sent to the Nigerian Police investigators under the PDP Government of Olusegun Obasanjo. The official correspondence which EXONERATED the now President 'Bola Tinubu is attached right in the NL Weblink BELOW:

U are being economical with the truth. Where did the funds come from? Which work?

The detailed court documents state where the funds allegedly came from.

Parachoko:
Bro, reason this matter well nah

If Tinubu truly pushed drugs, and went for a plea deal, He will lose Everything he has. He will lose all his money and properties.

He will also be deported and banned from entering the USA

Pushing drugs is a serious offence in the US.

Tinubu would have lost a lot


Over a million dollar was seized from Tinubu, some part of the money were returned back to him while he forfeited some of the money

He didn't forfeit the money for pushing drugs

The US systems is a fair system not like naija that gives people life imprisionment for stealing goat.

Why did he forfeit such an amount? And where did the money come from?

And yes tinubu never went to the us again after that for a very long time.

I already made myself very CLEAR and I will NOT go through this again.

FIRST off, the $1.8 million in the then Senator 'Bola Tinubu's United States bank accounts as of 1993 were from his U.S. investments largely from the financial markets and more. 'Bola Tinubu had worked with Mobil Nigeria (now Exxon Mobil) and rose to the very senior rank of a Treasurer in the multinational oil and gas company as a technocrat and Chartered Accountant. YOU and others have to be careful with what you read online as a lot of disinformation is out there meant to mislead the gullible masses like they did in previous election cycles.

I've just spotted and read the gross misinformation you gave on this same NL thread that 'Bola Tinubu never went back to the United States again after 1993 plea bargain for the disputed backlog of unpaid taxes. The last time I ever voted in that country called Nigeria was during the June 12, 1993 elections. You come off as a younger person who is NOT even aware that 'Bola Tinubu was on political EXILE in the United States after the 1993 annulment by the highly IRRESPONSIBLE elements in the military led by Ibrahim Babangida. from 1994 till 1999 'Bola Ahmed Tinubu lived right in his Chicago mansion in the United States and was accommodating a lot of pro-democracy activists who fled into exile in the United States and UK with the support of the United States Government. So, it's highly defamatory for you to say that Tinubu has never been to the United States since the 1993 civil case ended. What sort of disinformation are you people spreading here. Did you know that Tinubu has a private jet which he uses to fly to the United States with his family every year on holidays. You guys who are online and offline Peter Obi supporters (especially from the South East of Nigeria) should cut President 'Bola Tinubu some slack and STOP spreading toxic disinformation and hate speech got from secessionist and opposition propaganda websites against him! Tinubu and his media team too has been very lax with NOT bullishly defending his image and he's partly to blame for the spread of a fake news about him due to his calm nature but he should realize that the Presidency of Nigeria is an institution that MUST be protected. The Presidency doesn't belong to him hence he shouldn't allow people such as his political opponents to spoil it with toxic fake news reports.

I ALSO attached the official 2003 correspondence of Michael Bonner, the then Legal Attache of the United States Embassy to my last two posts here on this same NL thread which cleared 'Bola Ahmed Tinubu of any criminal offence or conviction on United States soil. What a lot of you are doing every election cycle amounts to criminal defamation of character of this man. The recycling of fake news will be the undoing of a lot of people when that man called President 'Bola Tinubu and his legal team finally wake up and get a lot of people posting doctored or misleading information online arrested and prosecuted. The Ibo guy (bearing a mish-mash of European names) supposedly based in the United States who Atiku Abubakar procured as a lobbyist with the intent to report a non-existent or FALSE past drug trafficking case against 'Bola Tinubu is actually a known international con artist who the Government of the Democratic Republic of Congo (or DRC) had exposed for scamming them. That's how he scams people and he's doing the same with Atiku Abubakar and Peter Obi's supporters.

Malkam Atiku - Should Rest,I take God beg you!.
-Atiku-should Also remember to tell Nigerians that the Penalty for Embezzlement and Corruption -in China is By Death - Public Execution too!
• I wander if Atiku read his Boss- Obj Book 📚 TITLED -' MY WATCH',
•For Nigerians -Dare him to Contest Against theFACTS and TRUTH -inside the BOOK!
•Afterall,Obj is still Around and Alive.
So,why is Mallam Atiku Dodging the Courts of Law,
For he should have Sued OBJ,nah- if indeed he ( Atiku) meant Well For Nigeria!
-Even the Majority of Northerners know- that Atiku is No Where the Solutions to Nigeria nor the Northern Problems.
Let him Continue to enjoy his Money 💰🤑!

he was indicted with senator jefferson in america for bribery

Peltop:
I am sure the foolish atiku has forgot that corruption penalty in China is also death.

Parachoko:
Like I said earlier, if you push drugs in the US, the government will not only seize your assets, you will go to jail

If Tinubu pushed drugs, he won't have escape a jail sentence.

If you have someone in the US you can ask or make you do your own research

Oga answer questions.

Then why fight to keep it out of reach from public, why, if he is clean he should allow people to see the full case file.
What is he hiding. A public servant. Then lastly if it was obi would you have said the same

Jesus this hits home

Atiku is hypocrit.
Why not also include death penalty foe corruption as its done in China?
Atiku is indeed a double standard man

Chibuchris:
Oga answer questions.

What question?

You no wan learn, you prefer believing bullsheet spread by Asiwaju's haters

Atiku would gave been dead too for his roots during obasanjo era and obi for fixing state fund in personal account to yield interesrt . Nigeria will not miss atiku, obi or tinubu for their bad behaviour

Richtaiwo:
Atiku has been crying since the day Trump congratulated President Tinubu and Obi has also intensified his visit to his special adviser at Upper Iweka.

Straight punch hit you and your paymaster 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Drugs related offence or not, I believe that Nigeria will get better the day that we start executing corrupt political officials....

Kiddo, you have to get a court to try him and find him guilty first. Until then we know who has been found guilty. Thanks for your attention to this matter

Supporter of druggie, come off that matter?
Did your principal forfeit $460k to The US govt or not as a result of drvg deal?

Imagine the way you avoided the essence of the matter AA raised via his media assistant only to talk about a different thing and as usual, for you to breathe, you had to mention PO.

God forbid druggie and his ass lickers.

So reno defamed tinubu then? U know there are ducuments online on this case?

Richtaiwo:
Atiku has been crying since the day Trump congratulated President Tinubu and Obi has also intensified his visit to his special adviser at Upper Iweka.

Like you don't know law

Atiku's desperation is out of this world. He is an elder statesman,He should retire and allow younger politicians to contest for 2027 presidential election.

Ofunaofu:
Let me get this straight: you're implying Tinubu handed over $460,000 to the U.S. government as a charitable donation, not because the funds were alleged to be tied to narcotics trafficking?

I bet he'd never respond to this. All he'd do is throw up their usual excuse of whataboutery
Your leaders aren't really your problem, their supporters are. Their supporters are the enablers of this madness.

For Nigeria to make any progress, you all should start treating the supporters of clueless, incompetent, and corrupt politicians as the enemies they truly are.

ceejay80s:
Both men atiku and tinubu would have been executed if it were china,
Atiku too stole public funds, even obi too,
In short 3 of them would have been history by now ,
E be like say una think say na only people wey carry drug dem dey execute for china,
Even stealing of public funds, giving and collecting bribe is death sentence in china

We all know all this things about China,that was why we were handling the 3 men in our Nigerian way until the Spokeman in the Villa brought China approach into the equation.
So if the Spokeman in Yola also brings in China into the equation as response to the Villa Spokeman,it is not out of place then.

Lekby25:
And you think Atiku himself will be here today accusing another person if it were to be China. This same Atiku was here alive all through the terrible eight year rule of his brother Buhari, he didn't play this kind of opposition during that time, it is when a southerner becomes president he now finds his voice. President Tinubu, a southerner will complete his eight years without any interruption, Atiku better knows that, if he could support his brother for straight eight terrible years, he better be ready to support a southern president for eight years, or else there is nothing he can do about it

You called the last administration of PMB 8 years 'terrible'?
The same government you and your APC party men fiercely supported and defended as if your life depends on it? You people didn't allow us hear something in this same forum.Telling us how that administration was the best thing to happen to Nigeria after independence.Today,it now becomes terrible to you.
You that is from South, South West to be precise, you didn't condemn the "terrible" administration as you describe it through out its 8 years,but you expected Atiku that is from the North to condemn it for you while you praise-sing for the same administration you called terrible today.
Omo, you sabi something.oo!!

Ofunaofu:
That's a knockout punch.

Truly, if it were China and Tinubu had been found with funds that were proceeds of narcotics trafficking, we wouldn't be talking about Tinubu today.

He would have been long gone.

It’s counting. Civil forfeiture is miles away from Criminal proceedings, let’s not be deceived.

However, since China hangs corrupt people, both Atiku and Tinubu are likely to face the gallows due to unexplained wealth.

Guys let’s not allow this people wine us, both of them are birds of the same feather.

Choi!!,I never knew that this Atikulated man has badt mouth like this.
So person no fit play with am small?
That small comparison wey Spokeman do de other day about him and China,nah im wey him vex like this the throw punches below belt?
Omo, this man badtt for vexation..ooh!
Anyway,make I grab my popcorn dey wait for the 2nd response from the other Spokeman if him go get any.


But meanwhile,if to say nah Sowore talk this kind thing against the Presido,SSS for don bab am put for prison for defamation and cyber bullying.
Why them no fit bab AA?
Nah so him big reach for Naija?

Truly in politics No permanent friend No permanent enemy.All these allegations happened before 2011 when ACN headed by Tinubu fielded Atiku as their Presidential candidate.The internet warriors fighting on their behalf will not be invited when they reconcile after the election

seunayantokun:
Penalty for corruption in China like we have seen so many years is death. If Nigeria were China, Atiku and many of his cotravellers would have been executed long time ago.

You are very correct. Tinubu and all his minions included

rezy15:
U
You are very correct. Tinubu and all his minions included

In fact, almost all political leaders, and some religious and business leaders would have been executed.
Only fools still buy that kind of articles from Atiku. He's simply bereft of ideas for winning people's hearts. Nonsense.

Honestly, very pathetic. A man with baggage of corruption that his principal, Obasanjo wrote a book and described him as a very corrupt person, is the name person looking for loopholes. Funny enough, atiku can't travel freely to America

ajailer:
Can you just imagine AA, the guy is already going senile over an unachieved dream. If PBAT is punishable by death according to him, then he, AA can’t escape the same judgement. I wonder which one of his spokesmen wrote this garbage.
