President Bola Tinubu cannot be excluded from the presidential election as a result of his alleged forfeiture of narcotics money in the United States, according to the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal (PEPT).
On September 6, a five-person PEPT panel headed by Justice Haruna Tsammani announced the verdict.
The Nigeria Police Force had previously exonerated Tinubu of any criminal matters in the US, according to the court, which came as a result of a query the police had made to US law enforcement.
It also revealed that the president has been permitted to enter and exit the US, which means he is not facing any charges.↳
Tsammani claimed that Tinubu was not a party to the civil proceedings in which the US District Court for the Northern Illinois ordered the forfeiture of Tinubu’s $460,000 in a drug-related matter.
