Defending Buruji Kashamo? How low can you people go? Instead of all these back and forth, wouldn't it have been easier for Tinubu to just give a no-objection to the release of the files? What really could be contained in his past that is capable of causing him "severe irreparable harm?".

"No man is rich enough to buy back his past."

- Oscar Wilde
When the Chicago university records were eventually released, what did you do with it other than propaganda?

Why should Tinubu give a no objection when even FBI is strongly saying NO? He should give you records for propaganda against him freely? Is that how you people think in that your ADC? Na this kain brain una wan use rule this country?

You want distractions, right? Yes, he will give you. He will keep you busy in court on a long goose chase till you’re exhausted. Tinubu is the king of the long game, he will wear you out. Let’s keep enjoying the show.

Tinubu's certificate fakery and drug dispatching escapade records has more information than my Medical Doctoral thesis?

lol. The court now disqualify a candidate based on an investigation report? Where did you learn your law from?

To start with, there is nothing new in the report. If there is a crime, FBI would have charged Tinubu to court for a criminal offense. If they couldn’t charge him for a criminal offense in 1993, it simply means there was no crime committed.


FBI has already released most of the records to David Hundeyin in 2023. They redacted it heavily to protect their investigative procedures and protect their witnesses. Nothing has changed from then. This is not about Tinubu but protecting FBI’s system.


The only thing you guys can get from this is propaganda and nothing else. That is why Tinubu is also in court to stop the release so that you won’t use it for propaganda. This matter died a long time ago and you guys are only bringing it up for distraction and propaganda. Nothing else.
If na Peter Obi get heroin case files, you for let am breathe? grin

Your party AC (Now APC) started bitter propaganda politics in this country. Stop lamenting. grin

Opposition has the right to lay their hands on that document and make documentaries with its contents, translate it to every Nigerian major language and publish contents on it everyday till election day..

Go and hire reputation management firms from the US like you did for buhari in 2015. The damage will not be mitigated, it will be truly 'irreparable' like Tinubu moaned. . grin

Welcome to your brand of politics. Una go learn new things.. grin

Penguin2:
Update: Last night, the @FBI and @DEAHQ presented the court with new filings concerning the alleged heroin-trafficking records involving President Bola Tinubu (@officialABAT). What is shocking is that we learned the FBI’s Tinubu-responsive search produced 399 pages of documents related to #Nigerian President Bola #Tinubu.

Within those records are materials tied to a drug-trafficking investigation involving #heroin-residue laboratory testing, controlled drug purchases by a cooperating witness, confidential informants, federal grand-jury activity, prosecutorial reports and meetings, surveillance, undercover operations, financial seizures, bank-account seizure warrants, IRS criminal-investigation material, and international investigative coordination.

President Bola #Tinubu's lies are falling apart; this case was never about a civil forfeiture case. The long speculation about whether serious law-enforcement records concerning President Tinubu exist is over. They do exist. The question now is simple: What is contained in those 399 pages that President Tinubu does not want the American and Nigerian people to see?

This is Dr. Von Batten. When my amazing team told me that there were 399 pages of @FBI and @DEAHQ documents linked to Nigeria's President Tinubu (@OfficialABAT), I thought I had heard wrong. 399 pages is a book. What was President Bola #Tinubu’s connection to the reported heroin-trafficking organization to warrant 399 pages of responsive FBI records?

I want to thank President @realDonaldTrump and the entire administration for being this transparent, unlike the @JoeBiden administration, which refused to even admit that it had files on Tinubu. The #Trump #DOJ has shown that it takes Tinubu’s claims that his life will be in danger seriously and is following the law, while at the same time making it known that the records concerning #Tinubu are tied to a serious drug-trafficking investigation.

399 FBI PAGES ON TINUBU? 399 PAGES OF WHAT? By CharlesCNG

Suddenly, 399 has become the new magic number.

Atiku Abubakar's Washington lobbyist, Von Batten-Montague-York, says an FBI search produced 399 pages responsive to FOIA requests concerning Bola Tinubu.

Then comes the political leap: “399 pages is a book! What did Tinubu do to warrant 399 pages?”

Slow down.First, the public August 28 court notice does NOT say the FBI delivered “a 399-page Tinubu criminal dossier” to Judge Beryl Howell.

It confirms that confidential, ex parte, in-camera declarations were hand-delivered to the judge so the FBI can justify disputed REDACTIONS and WITHHOLDINGS. The 399-page figure and dramatic description of their contents are presently being promoted by Von Batten-Montague-York — Atiku's registered $1.2 million Washington lobbying firm.

That does not automatically make the number false. It means ATTRIBUTE IT CORRECTLY.

Second, “responsive record” does not mean “399 pages proving Tinubu trafficked heroin.”

FBI files naturally contain laboratory reports, informants, surveillance, grand-jury material, controlled purchases, financial records and investigative techniques concerning the INVESTIGATION AS A WHOLE.

Until the documents are released, nobody can honestly tell us how many of those 399 pages describe Tinubu personally, merely mention him, duplicate other records, discuss other suspects, or concern investigative procedure.

And the FBI itself—not Tinubu—is currently arguing that some information must remain withheld because disclosure could expose investigative techniques or endanger individuals.

Then comes the funniest line: “399 pages is a book.” Indeed. So is a telephone directory.

PAGE COUNT IS NOT A CONVICTION.

The FBI investigation was real. The $460,000 civil forfeiture was real. FBI records are real. But after thirty-three years, the missing documents remain remarkably simple: No Tinubu criminal indictment. No Tinubu drug-trafficking trial. No Tinubu criminal conviction.

So release whatever American law says should be released. Let Nigerians read it.

But until then, please don't convert 399 responsive pages into 399 pages of guilt.

That isn't a fact-check. That is a campaign brochure with page numbers.

In a sense, I don't blame him, he has take money and has to show something.

Of course this is a figure plucked out of the air, Kio Amachree claimed he saw proof, and then nothing.

When Atiku stops asking question Ikeamafuna Van Bommel will also pipe down.

There will never be documents released, not one page, because there are none and they will come up with anew reason.

Well, unfortunately those supporting him will still support him even if there’s cocaine powder on his nose.

What releasing the files will do is that it can either get Tinubu disqualified through the courts or stakeholders will abandon him as they won’t want be seen by the international community as supporting a drug baron.

Fingers crossed
Get disqualified for what? You guys are so delirious is pathetic.
Someone that was never arrested, charged or convicted of any crime.
Trump was charged and convicted 34 felony charges, yet they stil voted for him.
You know that your Agulu candidate is about to lose again, you are praying and hoping to get Tinubu disqualified.

If it's just a civil forfeiture, tinubu won't say he will be in danger if the files are released to the public
He probably gave up high profile names during the investigation for him to just be left alone

Whatever the information therein, it can't be used to disqualify him, it can only be used as a blackmail or pressure tool for him to stand down, but in Nigeria political space, we don't deal with morals and values, so don't expect him to step down.
The constitution allows you to aspire for any post 10yrs after serving the sentence of a criminal conviction, if at all he was convicted of a crime then, it's already 30yrs

The reason why it's time wasting engaging most of you folks here, the level of ignorance is high sky. Beyond mere arguments, you have nothing else to offer.
For the sake of enlightenment, the US plea bargaining in drug cases does not exonerate anyone from conviction, it only commutes or reduces the sentences. So, if Tinubu had a plea bargaining, he would still have been convicted but would have had his sentences reduced.
A civil forfeiture has nothing to do with you being guilty.

Re: FBI Submits A 399-Page Document On Tinubu To Court - Von Batten-Montague by TheNonexisting(m): 9:48pm On Aug 30
Why BAT is protesting against this is because of his life and especially those of his family not because he didn't commit the crime. He snitched on his former close allies and some powerful people who may still be in prison now. Drug barons don't forgive and they never forget that's why they build empires for their successors to continue. BAT knows that his life and those of his entire household were already in danger the moment that file exchanged hands no wonder he ran to UK to plead with the King and I'm sure he will also run to France to plead with Macron too to prevail on Trump to squash this before it escalates further. If anyone sees that file and reports to the barons inside prison, BAT and everyone he cares about are gone.

Atiku is master in this game of keeping files because he knew how he removed his own file in customs service. Imagine a DCG with no file at all up till today, even after serving for 30+years with his health tech certificate. After this Tinubu will ensure the current CGC look for Atiku file by force.

Have you ever heard about plea bargain? What about deal-cutting? What about snitching? Let’s assume but not concede that no crime was committed, can you tell us one plausible or justifiable reason why you think your man Friday is expending so much resources in order for the documents to not be released?
And you too should tell us why you people keep spending so much since 2023, filing cases and expecting a criminal record that doesn't exist. Doing the same thing the same way over time but expecting a different result! Isn't that f##lish? You think you need to instruct the FBI to come and pick him up if he had a case to answer?

You should rather concentrate on your campaigns, telling the electorates reasons you think you're the right man for the job and backing it up with your legacies instead of looking for what is not lost. (Oh sorry, I forgot that you had nothing to campaign with except statistics with zero proof of previous performance when you had the opportunity 😀😀😀

I think, at this point, you should support Tinubu because he's 10steps ahead of you. This will prevent you from wasting your money campaigning fruitlessly.
