Tribunal Summons Tinubu over 10 Foreign s

The Code of Conduct Tribunal has summoned former Lagos State governor, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, to appear before it on Wednesday, September 21, for alleged breach of the code of conduct for public officers, signaling a commencement of his trial for allegedly operating 10 foreign while in office.

Tinubu was Lagos State governor from 1999 to 2007.

The former governor confirmed the summons last night through his Chief Press Secretary, Olakunle Abimbola, saying, “after years of threats, political mudslinging and media trial on the impending allegations, a formal invitation to commence trial has finally come, which he welcomes”. According to the CCT official, Tinubu is facing trial for allegedly operating several foreign bank s contrary to Section 7 of the Code of Conduct Bureau and Tribunal Act, Cap 56 Laws of the Federation, 1990. The offence is punishable under Section 23(2) of the same Act.

Tinubu was first charged before the tribunal on 24th April, 2007. The trial was, however, stalled for seeming lack of political will to prosecute the former governor on the part of the tribunal. Some had also viewed his prosecution then as an attempt by the Peoples Democratic Party-controlled Federal Govern-ment to silence opposition forces. Tinubu, the leader of the Action Congress of Nigeria, has repeatedly denied any wrong doing in office.

The former governor is accused of operating 10 different foreign s while in office as governor contrary to Section 7 of the Code of Conduct Bureau and Tribunal Act, Cap 56 Laws of the Federation, 1990 and punishable under Section 23 (2) thereof as incorporated under paragraph 18, part I of the 5th Schedule to the 1999 Constitution. He was said to have failed to declare the foreign bank s in the assets declaration form CCB-1 which he submitted to the Code of Conduct Bureau when he was elected governor. A deputy director at the Code of Conduct Bureau, Mrs. Ikechi Iwuagwu, deposed to an affidavit to the effect that the former governor failed to disclose the foreign s for which he was charged before the tribunal.

Confirming that he received the summon, Tinubu said in a statement by Abimbola that: “The summons was signed by the chairman of the Bureau. It was dated 6 September, 2011. “The summons alleged the contravention of Code of Conduct for public officers, whilst Asiwaju Tinubu was governor of Lagos State, by operating several foreign bank s, between 1999 and 2007, in alleged contravention of Section 7 of the Code of Conduct Bureau and Tribunal Act, Cap 56 LFN, 1990.

“The Bureau in the service invited Asiwaju Tinubu to appear before it, in Abuja, on Wednesday, 21 September 2011 at 10 am. Asiwaju Tinubu wishes to state that after years of threats, political mudslinging and media trial on the impending allegations, a formal invitation to commence trial has finally come, which he welcomes. “He said that as a law abiding citizen, when he was informed that the summons had arrived, he directed his staff to duly accept it; and not evade service.

This is in conformity with his profound respect for the rule of law. He wishes to state that as the battle now shifts to the Code of Conduct Tribunal, those who allege must prove. He also welcomes the opportunity to put an end to years of insinuations, unproven allegations and politically orchestrated persecution.

“The National Leader of the ACN calls on everyone to keep calm but be vigilant, while the Nigerian judiciary do justice in this matter.”

Yeepaaaa. Oga ooooo!

BATiflies won't like this

They should not disturb an old drug lord,.,.did they expect him to run his cartel with just one international ?....God forbid BAT thing.

dheilaw1:

All na fake. There's no Pandora anywhere. He got all he had with his own wealth. He was a billionaire before contesting Anambra election. Are you aware he's the owner of Fidelity Bank? You can trace all his wealth, unlike huncle wa jagaband

Zombidients and Obituaries are virus to Nigeria democracy

Imagine creating fake thread and links just to antagonize and blackmail an opposition.

Is this politics or madness.?

Worst enough the zombidients that have been making comments above never deem it fit to check the authenticity of the link

Obituarists and Zombidients are IPOB/ESN agenda and we would not allow them to succeed.

I would rather vote Atiku to Obituary.

Infact I will jubilate if Atiku win instead of Obi.

Better d devil yu knw than the pathetic serial liars disguising as Messiah

Agbadorian AZA MAN.


No wonder his son wears 300 million naira watch.

Your federal government are scared to indict him, he will use them mop the courtroom floors

11 year old news though it adds to the many controversies surrounding BAT

ElSudani:

If the courts in Nigeria strong, let them sue him for that, he will sack the judges

Barawo banza, onyeoshi, oloshi buruku
And some useless urchins are ing this thief because of their stupid. May sense fall on u zombie

A lot of things are going on in Nigeria because of our weak institutions. Obi invested state money in a business in which his family has interest! This is enough to send him to jail in many countries, especially in China which he likes to mention in his fake statistics.

Fake news, if this is real, Tinubu and Atiku would be suing him a long time ago since he has no godfathers like the other 2.

They all knownits Internet noise, no substance to the rumours, that's why nobody is taking APC and PDP serious.
