PDP: Opeyemi Bamidele Has Validated Our Claims on Tinubu’s Forfeiture of $460,000 in US

Senator Bamidele had last Wednesday said as the All Progressives Congress (APC) Witness-in-Chief that President Tinubu did not face any criminal charges in a US court.
The lawmaker was the only witness called by the respondents in the hearing of the court in Abuja.
The Senate Majority Leader insisted that a forfeiture order against the president by an American court for $460,000 did not replace criminal charges because it related to a civil problem.
He also claimed that Tinubu was not found guilty and was not given any punishment.

But the PDP in a post on its Whatsapp platform by the Publicity Secretary, yesterday stated that: “The testimony of Opeyemi Bamidele, one of the star witnesses of the APC presidential candidate, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, further confirms before the Presidential Election Petition Court that Bola Tinubu of the APC forfeited the sum of $460,000, which he earned from trafficking of drugs, narcotics in the United States of America (USA), and did not disclose same to INEC in his nomination forms.
“Though, Bamidele in his defence before the Lord Justices opined that the $460,000 forfeiture was civil and not a criminal act.
