TINUBU ACCIDENTALLY LIVED IN CHICAGO APARTMENTS WITH DRUG LORDS: FESTUS

Bola Tinubu and Festus Keyamo

Bola Tinubu, the party's presidential candidate, only lived in a "block of flats" in Chicago with notorious drug kingpins, according to Festus Keyamo, chief spokesman for the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential campaign council, pushing back in response to court documents that suggested Mr. Tinubu's connections to the illegal drug trade and money laundering in the United States.

"What happened was that Asiwaju (Bola Tinubu) went to open an account. The address which he used in opening the account was the address used by these people... (sic). I think some blocks of flats. Maybe, he happened to be in that block of flats too.

"So, they now link it that the other people they were investigating for narcotics are in the same address used by Asiwaju to open that account," Mr Keyamo said on Wednesday on Channels Television programme to exonerate the former Lagos governor from the fresh controversies that had been trailing his involvement in dr*g peddling.
