Festus Keyamo, the spokeswoman for the Tinubu/Shettima Presidential Campaign Council, has denied claims that Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, the candidate for president of the ruling All Progressives Congress was indicted in the US court documents trending on social media.
Festus Keyamo, during his interview on Wednesday with Politics Today on Channels Television made this declaration as response to criticism from the PDP and Labour party who claimed that Tinubu was indicted in the US case.
According to Keyamo, the opposition parties crossed the line when they claimed Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu was under investigation.
“There cannot be an indictment if Asiwaju is not a defender or was not a defendant to that case.
“I repeat it for the umpteenth time, I don’t want to sound like a broken record here. Asiwaju was not a party to that case.
“It was just an account that was sued not him.
“It was an account in his name that was sued, so how could you indict him if there was no account?”
When Keyamo was asked about the number of accounts involved, he said, “10 in three banks.”
“Not in one person’s name. There were ones linked to his mother.
“He took responsibility for all of them because they were all Tinubu family.
“His mother was there, his company was there, his brother was there.
“At the end of the day, they now pleaded with him that ‘please don’t come against us if it was found that we wrongly seized your accounts in the first place” Keyamo added.
Keyamo urged the public to examine Paragraph 6 in Page 2 of the Settlement, which was signed by the attorneys.
He emphasized that the attorneys were pleading with Tinubu not to take the lawsuit against them.
Keyamo further added that “It was him (Tinubu) giving them indemnity. It was not the other way round by them telling him go and sin no more.
“He (Tinubu) was the one telling them go and sin no more. The documents are there before Nigerians to read.”
