Why? Is the Tinubu clearance not coming from the US ambassador who went into INEC inner vote counting chambers while presidential election votes were still being counted,
and announced that even his American state never had the high tech card reader which Nigeria uses for election.


The ambassador sensed that APC was wining hence he came out to authenticate whatever the final results and pre -empt any argument that the election was not fair.

But the last presidential election was the most unfair in Nigria's modern elections, an election influenced by six years of violence.
APC political machine is working king for it so far, but how far can it go? Nigerians are not going to be majorly blind for long .
Am sure you know the way to US embassy, go there and clearify yourself....well as for the election, winners will always feel its free and fair while lossers will definitely think otherwise. Presidential and Rivers elections are perfect examples.

Tinubu Haters must be disappointed that a man they loath,hate so much and wish every conceivable evil upon is still standing strong

Not knowing that under Obasanjo,The Super Vendatta King had commissioned the Police to look into Tinubu's background even as a sitting Governor in 2003 with a view to destroying him politically

Tinubu not only triumphed and still going strong,it was even the Former IGP Tafa Balogun who got convicted for Massive Corruption

Little wonder PDP under Jonadunce was not able to do anything to Tinubu beside AIT-propelled Media Propaganda
Shameless thing. Are you sincerely saying the Thiefnu.bu is not the master of weeds? Go nearer him and talk to him and wait for his response, if you fail to take three steps backward, then Thiefnu.bu is not having mouth odur caused by high degree intake of weeds.

Would you forfeit half a million if you think you were innocent?
And he kept $1million. It was a win win situation for Tinubu.

I am not saying, he is guilty or innocent. He is presumed innocent until he is convicted. In this case, he was not even indicted.

You're wired differently from most people, how you can call the above (after losing half a million) a win win situation beggars belief, this is where I retire from the debate.

Nigeria: US Clears Governor Tinubu of Criminal Deals By Citizen Confidential

Lagos — THE United States of America (USA) has cleared Governor Bola Tinubu of Lagos State of involvement in any criminal activity in that country or its territory.

The US Consulate in Lagos in a February 4, 2003 letter to the Inspector-General of Police, Mr. Tafa Balogun said there was nothing in the records of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) indicating that Gov. Tinubu had, at any time in the past, been arrested or wanted for crime in the US.

The letter signed by the Legal Attache in the Consulate, Michael H. Bonner reads: “Our sincerest greetings to you and all of the law enforcement personnel in the Nigeria Police Force, whose continued assistance is very much appreciated.

In relation to your letter, dated February 3, 2003, reference number SR. 3000/IGPSEC/ABJ/VOL. 24/287, regarding Governor Bola Ahmed Tinubu, a records check of the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s (FBI) National Crime Information Centre (NCIC) was conducted.

“The results of the checks were negative for any criminal arrest records, wants, or warrants for Bola Ahmed Tinubu (DOB 29 March 1952).

For information of your department, NCIC is a very centralised information centre that maintains the records of every criminal arrest and conviction within the United States and its territories.”

He was not charged with a felony, he did not appear before a grand jury. How is that an indictment.

This is from the daily beast article:

There’s no evidence that Tinubu was ever indicted for any crime. He eventually settled with the district court, turning over $460,000 of the seized $1.4 million, with the remainder released back to him. The Beast tried repeatedly to contact Marsha McClellan, the U.S. attorney who prosecuted the case, but was unsuccessful.

The only way this matter can be settled conclusively would be for all the court records to be retrieved and carefully examined.

Yes indeed it appears Mr Tinubu was not indicted. But you don't just turn over half a million dollars to the US government for nothing. What was the nature of the settlement between mr tinubu and the US government for him to pay such a large sum of money to the authorities as far back as 1993?

The online references to court documents on this matter list the subject matter as narcotics trafficking or drug related. undecided This is serious stuff. It is foolish for Tinubu's supporters to come on here insulting anyone who raises legitimate questions about this case. Not everyone has time for petty politics.

The truth will out.

No.

I have never 'celebrated' messrs george and alamiyeseigha. All I want is full disclosure on the case between tinubu and the US government in 1993 and the terms of settlement.

I am not asking for too much.


P.S. Some of those who purport to support mr tinubu on this board have a nasty habit of viciously attacking anyone who asks legitimate questions about their principal. One of them is on this very thread. I can assure him that he is wasting his time - his childish invective simply strengthens my resolve to get the bottom of cases such as this one involving his principal.

The truth shall make us free.
