The Atiku/Okowa Presidential Campaign Organisation has challenged the Presidential Candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Ahmed Tinubu, to come out boldly and defend his reported link to the whopping sum of $460,000 he forfeited to the United States “rather than hiding behind a finger and sending his media aides to attack other Nigerians.”
This is contained in a statement issued on Sunday by Kola Ologbondiyan, Spokesperson of the campaign.
It insisted that the burden before Tinubu “is to cleanse himself of being linked to illicit funds by a court in the United States rather than searching for scapegoats and pointing index finger on others whereas the remaining are pointing to his direction.
“Is it not absurd that rather than proving his innocence by personally telling Nigerians the truth about the forfeiture judgment, Asiwaju Tinubu is allowing his aides, who were not principal witnesses in the crime, to issue threats and vituperations on Nigerians?
“This accounts for why the campaign is singing discordant tunes on taxation while Asiwaju Tinubu himself is labouring to dismiss the case as “a rumour.” This is very laughable!”
The campaign said it wants Tinubu to know that “Nigerians are still waiting for him to address the very serious issue of alleged link with narcotics for which a forfeiture judgment was imposed on him.”
