Festus Keyamo, spokesperson for the Tinubu-Shettima Presidential Campaign Council, has confirmed that 10 accounts were actually linked to All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu, by United States authorities in the early 90s.
He however, said that the sum of $460,000 deducted from one of the accounts was tax on investments domiciled in US banks.
Keyamo, made the submission on Channels Television’s Politics Today programme on Wednesday.
He was commenting on the controversy surrounding a document recently released by the US District Court for the Northern District of Illinois said to have investigated Tinubu’s alleged involvement in narcotics and money laundering about 30 years ago.
The matter, which ended in a settlement, led to Tinubu’s forfeiture of $460,000 in one of the accounts linked to the former governor of Lagos State.
Keyamo said Tinubu took responsibility for all the 10 accounts because they were also traced to his mother and “relatives”. – CHANNELS TV
