SRJ reveals how Tinubu will defeat Atiku, Obi in court
Speaking in an interview on Western Sprint TV, the Senator stated that even the witnesses of the opposition parties maintained that the election was free and fair and that both Atiku and Obi failed to present any resent that justified their claim that they won the election.
He said he was in court on Tuesday and Wednesday, June 20 and 21, and that their lawyer, who tendered forfeiture evidence against Tinubu of the APC, was asked if it was a criminal offence. He said it was not a criminal offence.
SRJ, as he was fondly called, said the claim that Tinubu was charged to court on a narcotic drug case carried no name in the evidence they presented in court.

The senator said:
“Aside from that, according to the constitution, ‘offence bordering on dishonestly’, on someone lying before the court, either breach of trust, larceny, stealing, etc., when it is more than ten years, after the conviction, the person is free to contest any election in Nigeria.”
He further stressed that the forfeiture case presented in court against President Tinubu is dated back to 30 years and that is 30 years, meaning that evening if Tinubu was charged to court in the United States 30 years ago, he has the right to contest an election.
