Drug Dealing: I’m Not Surprised, Tinubu Is A Crook, Drug Lord – Sowore

The presidential candidate of the African Action Congress (AAC), Omoyele Sowore, has said he was not surprised that the flagbearer of the All Progressives Congress (APC) is a drug lord and a money launderer.

It was reported that the US court documents surfaced online on Tuesday that showed that the former Governor of Lagos State was convicted of trafficking heroin and how he forfeited millions of dollars to the US Government to avoid being jailed.

The court document docketed on July 26, 1993, and certified by Thomas O. Burton, the clerk of the court, indicted Tinubu for heroin trafficking in the state of Illinois through a proxy organization owned by Adegboyega Mueez Akande and subsequently forfeited the proceeds of the crime to the US government.

The funds, which were held by First Heritage Bank and Citibank in trust for Tinubu were also reportedly forfeited to the US government for being proceeds of drug-related offenses.

Taking to his Twitter account to react to the development on Tuesday night, Sowore said that Tinubu’s alleged drug dealing was no surprise because he has “always been a crook and a drug kingpin”.

The media entrepreneur,  also alleged that the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, (PDP), Atiku Abubakar, is a thief.

He wrote: “You just don’t need any “certified” court documents to tell you Bola Tinubu is a drug lord and money launderer, some of those sharing these documents today knew Bola Tinubu has always been a crook and druggie but hypocrisy won’t let them accept it then, the same way some won’t accept Atiku is a thief.”

Sowore added that the Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, may also have some questions to answer.

“Peter Obi isn’t any different from Atiku and Bola Tinubu. They’re all alumni of the same crime family,” he added.

You just don’t need any “certified” court documents to tell you Bola Tinubu @officialABAT is a drug lord and money launderer, some of those sharing this documents today knew @officialABAT has always been a crook and druggie but hypocrisy won’t let them accept it then,
