@tawnniee Why hasn’t this happened?… You should ask your government and their western counterparts that question. Why they have all been over African resources and wealth in the last centuries, and would stall every development any African leader wants to make or go as far as k!lling them
Nigerian President Bola Tinubu (@officialABAT) was employed as Treasurer of Mobil Oil Nigeria Ltd. when, according to @TheJusticeDept@FBI@DEAHq records, he was alleged to have been connected to a criminal organization involved in smuggling heroin from #Nigeria into the United States.
Mobil later became part of the corporate lineage of what is today @exxonmobil. Funds associated with Tinubu were seized as proceeds of drug trafficking by the DOJ, but strangely, Tinubu was allowed to leave the United States without being criminally charged.
As Nigeria's President, #Tinubu’s government has maintained significant relations with ExxonMobil, including direct engagement with the company and major policy, regulatory, and investment decisions affecting its Nigerian operations. Reports show that ExxonMobil has benefited tremendously under President Tinubu through major state reforms:
The Fuel Subsidy Removal: The elimination of the multi-trillion-naira fuel subsidy freed up national revenues that allowed Nigeria to pay its obligations and joint-venture cash calls to major international oil operators like ExxonMobil.
The $1.28 Billion Seplat Approval: President #Tinubu's administration broke a long-standing regulatory deadlock by officially greenlighting ExxonMobil’s asset divestment to Seplat Energy, clearing the firm's capital path out of older shallow-water assets.
Deepwater Tax Breaks: President #Tinubu introduced massive tax credits—up to $11.50 per barrel—enabling ExxonMobil to shift its full operational weight toward more profitable, export-heavy offshore projects.
Production Pledges: Following direct meetings with the presidency, ExxonMobil has reinvested in local operations to bring an additional 40,000 barrels per day (bpd) into the Nigerian crude stream.
Disclaimer: The information above is presented for public-interest, research, and commentary purposes. References to President Bola #Tinubu and historical drug-trafficking allegations concern allegations and matters reflected in U.S. government and court records. Nothing in this post should be interpreted as asserting that ExxonMobil participated in, had knowledge of, or was connected to any alleged criminal activity. The references to actions benefiting ExxonMobil are not intended to allege a quid pro quo or unlawful conduct by ExxonMobil.
We just received a copy of President Bola Tinubu’s (@officialABAT) filing from just two business days ago. Not surprisingly, President Tinubu has now formally joined @TheJusticeDept’s request for a 10-day extension, which the judge has now swiftly denied.
We surmise that President #Tinubu wants to use any delay to call upon his friends in DC to argue that the release of these files would harm U.S.-Nigeria relations and undermine his ability to work with the United States to combat terrorism and the killing of Christians in Northern Nigeria.
We believe that any U.S. government personnel who improperly attempt to interfere with the judicial or FOIA process on behalf of #Nigerian President #Tinubu to prevent the lawful release of these records should be exposed and fired.
President @realDonaldTrump and the United States do not protect individuals alleged by the DOJ to have been part of a criminal organization that smuggled heroin into the United States.
