When such type of person(Bola Ahmed tinubu) are the agents of change in a country you know that country is in soup. Now when such type of person publicly lambast anoda(buruji kashamu) to go ans their drug case in the USA when they are accuded of the same crime then you know it not change its the usual pot calling kettle black.

Daily Beast are hardly a major publication - I wonder why none of the more popular websites reported this before the election?

cheesy According to the same article,

There’s no evidence that Tinubu was ever indicted for any crime.


So what is the point of the whole article if it ain't a hatchet job to smear him when even the almighty U.S never indicted Tinubu?

Jagaban, your enemies will not know peace. We heard worse during the elections from nta and Ait. So Abiola too was a drug kingpin?Yimu.

Seriously am just wondering who in this forum this is news to. We have long been inundated with Tinubu and drug deals in some years past in the US. I think what really matters to Nigerians now is Tinubu of 1999 till date since he has been in public governance. To me Tinubu should be scrutinized and jailed if found guilty of sleaze in his tenure in Lagos and thereafter but all these tales by moonlight will not change the person Tinubu has come out to be in Nigerian politics. One would think he will be parading drug dealers and fraudsters as candidates as a former drug dealer as they posit. In summary, even Obama the president of the same US agrees Tinubu is the best thing to happen to democracy in Nigeria. Ko kan ye.

For those that were not patient enough to read the full article, here's the summary:

TINUBU WAS INVOLVED IN DRUGS IN THE US.
Not just involved but forfeited a large amount of money to escape jail,which in itself is an admission of guilt.

he neglected to file U.S.
income tax returns
after 1984 despite
having sizable, interest-
generating deposits in
American banks. All of
this was enough to
persuade a magistrate
judge of the Northern
District to issue seizure
warrants for Tinubu’s
First Heritage and
Citibank accounts.
Collectively, more than
$1.4 million belonging to

confiscated.
