The Presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Tinubu, has denied any involvement in money laundering and drug dealings.
It is said that the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois released some documents which allegedly indicted Tinubu in the drug dealings and money laundering in Chicago.
The documents which went viral on Tuesday evening, revealed details on alleged indictment of Tinubu in drug dealing and receipt of illegal money while in the U.S.
Copies of the court indictment were also circulated on Wednesday morning by Iliya Obadiah @IliyaObadiah1:
The 56-page document released showed the long-held view that Tinubu faced conviction on narcotics charges in the US especially with the revelation that he forfeited up to $460,000 to the U.S. authorities in 1993
However, reacting to the issue in a chat with reporters on Tuesday night, the Director of Media and Publicity of the APC Presidential Campaign Council, Bayo Onanuga, denied the reports that his principal was involved in drug dealings and money laundering.
Onanuga asserted that the story which first surfaced before the APC presidential election is fake and blamed the media for recycling such propaganda.
He said: “It’s dead as dodo (roasted plantain) wondering why you journalists will continue to do the story.
“It resurfaced before the primary (presidential) and now again. It is nothing new. It’s dead. It’s as dead as a dodo.”
