Bamidele made this admission while serving as the first witness for Tinubu during the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal (PEPT) proceedings, initiated by Peter Obi, the candidate of the Labour Party (LP).
Despite being in the public spotlight in the lead-up to the presidential election on February 25, the President had refrained from addressing the forfeiture for several years.
Additionally, Tinubu presented a bundle of his educational records from Chicago State University, certified by Jamar C. Orr, Associate General Counsel, Office of Legal Affairs, Chicago State University.
The presentation of these documents by Tinubu aimed to bolster his defense against the lawsuit challenging the election results.
However, the admission by Senator Bamidele regarding the narcotics and money laundering aspects connected to Tinubu’s past casts a shadow over the proceedings and raises questions about the President’s credibility in the eyes of the public and the tribunal.
