On July 13, 2022; investigative journalist David Hundeyin published an article about APC presidential aspirant Bola Ahmed Tinubu alleging his involvement with drugs in the 1990s.
The lengthy story tells how Tinubu, a former member of a Chicago cocaine cartel in the 1990s, has emerged as a strong candidate for Nigeria’s highest position.
In the article, which has since been read hundreds of thousands of times, the researcher, who departed Nigeria as a result of the EndSARS protests, exposed the former governor of Lagos, Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
David Hundeyin Article on Tinubu
An excerpt from the article reads;
A US District Court would seem like an odd place to begin this story, but this is no ordinary story. The main character in this story is an individual whose entire existence is as puzzlingly mysterious as it is loud and public. For at least 30 years, Bola Ahmed Tinubu has been at or near the grinding face of frontline politics in Nigeria, yet a peek one inch below the surface reveals how little is actually known about the man who some say is Nigeria’s president-in-waiting.
First of all there is the age controversy. How old is the man really? What is his real date of birth? Short answer, no one actually knows. Like many Nigerians born into the less-than-auspicious circumstances that characterised his childhood in Iragbiji, Osun State, he himself may not even know. Similar controversy exists around what his actual name is. A popular theory is that “Bola Ahmed Tinubu” is an identity that he transitioned into at some point after moving to Lagos to live with his surrogate mother, Alhaja Abibatu Mogaji.
