The Atiku Abubakar team has lambasted Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu for trying to present the $460,000 forfeiture case as one relating to tax evasion and not drug charges.
Special Assistant on Public Communication to Atiku Abubakar, Mr. Phrank Shaibu said in a statement that after the lies told by Tinubu and his surrogates, the truth had finally been revealed through the processes filed by the All Progressives Congress at the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal.

Shuaibu said: “But what has been established is that Justice John Nordberg ordered on October 4, 1993 that the funds in the amount of $460,000 held in First Heritage Bank in the name of Bola Tinubu represent the proceeds of narcotics trafficking or were involved in financial transactions in violation of 18 U.S. 1956 and 1957.
“Tinubu should know that he cannot outrun his past. He was investigated in relation to heroiin trafficking. He had millions of dollars in his account while on a salary of $2,500 monthly, and he forfeited part of it in order to escape jail. These are the facts. Elections are over, and he should stop lying to Nigerians.”
