I have enough evidences linking Tinubu to drug trafficking – Hundeyin

David Hundeyin on Thursday insisted that there are enough evidence linking the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Tinubu to drug trafficking in the 90s despite his denials of the allegation.

The journalist who had earlier published an expose regarding the details of Tinubu‘s alleged drug trafficking activities, despite not being indicted by the American government, made the allegation on Thursday, during an interview on AriseTV monitored by National Daily.

“Tinubu was involved in drug trafficking and this is not an allegation; they are documented facts on record. And because this issue happened a long time ago, people tend to forget and this is a ridiculous position since he aims to be the President of Nigeria.

“Of course, he has to answer these questions about the drug trafficking links since there is evidence; he doesn’t want to answer these questions since he has no defence. He is as guilty as sin,” he said.

The United State District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, in November, released fresh documents detailing Tinubu’s encounter with American authorities, over allegations of narcotics trafficking and money laundering.

The US court records showed that the former governor of Lagos State had forfeited up to $460,000 to the United States authorities in a plea bargaining agreement.

The issue had generated mixed reactions in recent days, but the 56-page document released by the district court headquartered in Chicago did not include crucial new details but was just part of the matter that had been in the media and public domain for more than two decades now.

He further implored Nigerians to examine the materials, form an opinion on Tinubu’s personality, and determine whether he was qualified to govern the nation.

According to him, it was evident from the document that the money entering Tinubu’s account at the time originated from persons with dubious means of subsistence.

Hundeyin also queried the combative stance of the leading party considering the underhanded tactics wielded, when it was in the opposition in 2015.

He further claimed that Tinubu was scared of debating his policies due to his shady background which might be scrutinised, ahead of the elections in 2023.
