“There is no criminal record against President Bola Tinubu”
@renoomokri says during my one-on-one @CityBoyMedia interview session with him today.
Thank you Amb. @renoomokri for making the time out despite my impromptu public request via x yesterday
Jagabani Omo lile.
@AdewaleTinubu on how he tried to convince his uncle, Asiwaju, to settle with the U.S. government after some of his funds were seized, but he refused, insisting he had done nothing wrong.
"I was the youngest Senator and the Senator with the highest number of votes throughout Nigeria. Before then, I was Chief Financial Officer of Mobil Oil, ExxonMobil Treasurer. It's not a small position to leave for politics.
Sen. Pius Akinsulure, this man there was my boss. He was the only Nigerian in that position. And the Americans wanted me to stay. I told them that my people need me in politic...that what are doing for you, we can do for Nigeria. They said I was about become the Financial Director of the company, I said no. I want to go to politics. Ok, we can not persuade you, we will give you 4 year leaves of absence, if you're not as satisfied, come back, your job will be waiting for you. The white man who was the MD Bob Parker's is still alive, they can go to him to ask.
But after two years, the military played their madaru and terminated our tenure. Then, I have a decision to make, whether I continue to struggle for my country or go back to the pleasure in ExxonMobil and continue to enjoy my self. And I asked who will fight for Nigeria. Who will fight for freedom. Who will bring development. I decided to continue to struggle. That was when we formed NADECO. During that time, my life was turned upside down. They attacked my house. The Americans evacuated my children and my wife."
- Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu 3 March, 2022
Two identical twin brothers.
One is the MD/CEO of Aradel Holdings.
The other is the MD/CEO of Nigeria LNG (NLNG).
Adegbite “Gbite” Falade
Adeleye “Leye” Falade
Two brothers heading two of Nigeria’s biggest energy companies.
Imagine having twins at the top of Nigeria’s oil & gas industry.
Does The FBI Have Any Criminal Record on President Bola Ahmed Tinubu?
Recently, the media has been awash with sponsored reports and headlines claiming that the United States Federal Bureau of Investigation has released so-called "criminal records" of His Excellency, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, President and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, to a U.S. judge, Honourable Howell Beryl, of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia.
These reports have since been amplified on social and traditional media by the President's political opponents, who have further asserted that the President is fighting to keep those records from the public.
These claims are untrue, and these individuals and their surrogates are using clever semantics to deceive the public.
Unlike some of these groups and media organisations, I physically went to Chicago, Illinois, between September 18 and 20, 2022, to investigate these claims and found them to be fallacious.
President Bola Tinubu has no criminal record in the United States, Nigeria, or anywhere else, and the FBI has not provided any criminal record on the President to anyone because none exists.
Yes, FBI records may contain his name, but they are NOT criminal records.
Please fact-check me: The US FBI regularly keeps billions of non-criminal files on American citizens and residents, as well as foreign nationals, through the FBI's Central Records Systems and Next Generation Identification database.
For example, if you have ever applied for a US visa, the FBI likely has a record on you. This is because the FBI conducts MANDATORY background screenings on behalf of the Department of State and the Department of Homeland Security on US visa applicants.
Thus, as a US citizen or resident, or even as a foreign national, if your name is run through the FBI databases, it is likely to bring up hundreds of pages of records. This does not mean that the records are criminal. In most cases, they will be benign.
Such records may include personal biometric, biographical, and financial information, such as fingerprints, DNA, bank statements, and other private records.
Would you, as an individual, want your private records released to your political opponents, even if they were non-criminal?
However, on the specific issue of criminal records, the Nigerian public should be made aware that the FBI has itself stated that it has no CRIMINAL records involving Asiwaju Bola Tinubu.
This was made known as far back as Monday, February 3, 2003, when the then Governor of Lagos, Mr Bola Tinubu, was having political issues with the then incumbent President. The then Inspector General of Police, Mr Tafa Balogun, wrote to the Embassy of the United States, seeking information on any FBI criminal records involving Mr Bola Tinubu, and got a response back the next day from them giving the all clear as regards any criminal records involving Mr Tinubu.
This was consistent with my findings when I visited Chicago in 2022, as a member of the opposition, to establish the truth about then-Presidential candidate Bola Tinubu's academic and other records.
Nigerians may want to find attached the response from the Embassy of the United States absolving the then-Governor of Lagos of any wrongdoing or criminal conduct, charges, or activity whatsoever.
Those who may question the authenticity of this document may also wish to contact the US Embassy in Abuja or Lagos for clarification.
The US Embassy in Abuja may be contacted via [email protected].

FBI has no criminal record on Tinubu - Reno Omokri
Ambassador-designate Reno Omokri has dismissed reports that the FBI released criminal records on President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, describing the claims as false. He said FBI records on individuals do not necessarily indicate criminal activity, adding that a 2003 US Embassy response to an inquiry by then-IGP Tafa Balogun confirmed there were no criminal records involving Tinubu.

VIDEO: Okin Biscuits Resumes Production After 17-Year Shutdown
Okin Biscuits has taken a major step towards returning to the Nigerian market, as biscuits rolled off one of its rehabilitated production lines at its factory in Offa, Kwara State, for the first time in 17 years.
The company on its official Facebook handle on Wednesday said the production line had to be rebuilt after its cables, frequency drives, contactors, motors and other electronic components were stolen.
The company also announced that while further testing, calibration and rehabilitation are still required before the familiar Okin taste and quality are restored, the milestone marks significant progress towards bringing the biscuits back to the market.

Ẹlẹ́ran With Style: Meet Akeem, The Fashionista Graduate Meat Seller
At Camp Junction, Abeokuta, Ogun State, a Business Administration graduate stands out from the crowd, dressed with the confidence of an office executive.
By day, Akeem Muraina looks ready for the boardroom. But instead of heading to an office, he resumes daily at his meat stand.
Akeem is a meat seller, a trade popularly known as ‘Ẹlẹ́ran,’ in Nigeria’s South-West region. But he gives it a trendy lift.
When Senator Abdulaziz Yari was appointed Director-General of the APC Presidential Campaign for 2027, his first move was deliberate and strategic: he went straight to Femi Otedola in France.
And since touching down back in Nigeria just hours ago, he has been on the ground nonstop, moving from one northern community leader to another, quietly building, consulting, solidifying structures, and locking in support for President Tinubu’s re-election. No cameras. No theatrics. Just work.
Meanwhile, the so-called opposition remains locked in a room, microphones on, cameras rolling, turning their own meeting into a live comedy special. They take turns embarrassing one another, posturing for the lens, and putting on a free show for young lawyers who are already licking their lips, waiting for the millions that will come from the inevitable, pointless tribunal circus they plan to stage after they lose.
Sowore, Peter Obi, Rotimi Amaechi and the rest of the cast delivered exactly as expected: pure, unfiltered unseriousness. They have shown, once again, that they are not presidential contenders, they are professional entertainers who mistake media stunts and courtroom fantasies for actual politics.
Senator Yari has started on a serious note.
President Tinubu will win the January 2027 election.
Immediately after Nelson Mandela was freed from Prison, one of the first place he touched down was Nigeria.
In this picture, Mandela is received by then Nigerian Head of State Ibrahim Badomosi Babangida.
Mandela thanked Nigeria PUBLICLY for ALL its support for him and the ANC.
Within a 35yr period, Nigeria gave South Africa $61 Billion equivalent today in SARF. It was the highest by any single nation in the world towards South Africa's struggle to end 'white minority rule' i.e apartheid.
Nigerian students skipped meals to donate towards South African struggle.
Nigeria boycotted 1976 Olympics and 1979 common wealth games in protest over Black South African PERSECUTION.
Nigeria refused selling oil to South Africa minority rule. A solidarity decision that cost Nigeria $41 in potential revenue.
Nigeria trained South Africa PAC freedom fighters
Nigeria hosted over 300 ANC leaders and issued South Africans passports that enabled them travel to countries to lobby against apartheid.
Nigeria offered asylum to SA activist, provided free education to SA students.
Nigeria went all in for South Africa. Exactly how a big brother protects his younger brothers.
Some people believe that without Nigeria, perhaps South Africa might still be in that bondage. They still suffer from another bondage, but let me NOT digress.
Nigeria was THE FOREMOST supporter of South Africa's liberation struggle.
“Muslims should imbibe the good teachings of Prophet Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him). Beyond celebrating the birthday of the Holy Prophet, the faithful should use the occasion for introspection, prayer, and learning from the Prophet’s exceptional virtues.
The Muslim faithful should make a deliberate effort to adhere to the teachings of Prophet Muhammad. There are great lessons of devotion, perseverance, tolerance, humility, and selflessness that we can all learn from the life of the Prophet.”

Alhaji Aliko Dangote And his 3 Daughters…
- Fatima Aliko Dangote is the Group Executive Director responsible for Commercial Operations in the Oil & Gas Industries.
- Mariya Aliko Dangote is the Group Executive Director responsible for Commercial Operations in the Cement & Food Industries.
- Halima Aliko Dangote is the Group Executive Director responsible for the Dangote Family Office & International Offices.
Dangote is the richest person on the entire African continent, yet despite his immense wealth, you hardly see his daughters living an extravagant or ostentatious lifestyle. All 3 are women who, by societal expectations, could have easily chosen a flashy lifestyle and looked down on others. But the most impressive part is that they are now actively involved in building generational wealth that could last for another 1,000 years.
My brother, whatever life brings your way, accept it with good Tawheed. Whatever Allah has given you has a reason behind it. Things do not just happen without a reason, whether you know that reason or not.
Now imagine if Dangote had sons instead. Wallahi, I strongly believe that by now he might have encountered one who would have brought him nothing but doubts, stress and unnecessary headaches, leading to constant conflict for no reason. 🤷♂️
May Allah protect us from the hardship and trials that can come through our children. This is why the Prophet ﷺ said that whoever Allah blesses with daughters and treats them well, Allah grants him blessings through them and Paradise as a reward.
