Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the APC Presidential candidate for 2023 elections is being dragged for his involvement in money laundering and narcotics trafficking in the past.
He’d surrendered $460,000 to the United States government on October 4, 1993, according to a report, for his role in drug trafficking and financial activities.
The United States District Court, Northern District of Illinois made disclosed this to the general public. Nigerians have taken to Twitter to give their viewpoints on Tinubu’s participation and have dubbed him as ‘Pablo Escobar’.
Chairman of the Nigerians in Diaspora Commission, Abike Dabiri-Erewa, who had previously called Nigerians living abroad drug dealers, is also being criticised for her silence on this issue.
Festus Keyamo, SAN, the official spokesman for the APC Presidential Campaign Council, asserted that it is only an expression of frustration on the part of the opposition party. “An old, fake, recycled story!” He posted on his Twitter account. Tinubu is yet to release an official statement concerning the accusation.
