You’re Despicable Liar – David Hundeyin Knocks Keyamo Over Tinubu’s ‘Drug Dealing’ In US
A Nigerian investigative journalist, David Hundeyin has knocked spokesperson of Tinubu/Shettima Presidential Campaign Council, Festus Keyamo over his narration of reports of drug crimes involving Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu in the United States of America.
Hundeyin who took to his verified Twitter account on Wednesday said Keyamo is a “despicable liar and a miserably mediocre lawyer.”
He tweeted, “Mr @fkeyamo I put it to you that you are a despicable liar and a miserably mediocre lawyer.
“You cannot lie like this in 2022. I will destroy you in less than 7 minutes if you agree to discuss this story with me on any TV station of your choice.
“This is an open challenge.”
Recall that in July this year, David Hundeyin had in an article titled, “Bola Ahmed Tinubu: From Drug Lord To Presidential Candidate”, espoused a similar allegation. Also, in the twilight of the 2015 elections, the same allegation surfaced in the media.
On Tuesday, a document from a previous ruling made a comeback in the media, claiming that Tinubu had been charged with narcotics trafficking and money laundering by the Northern District of Illinois of the United States District Court.
On social media, Nigerians have continued to respond to the allegation in different ways.
Festus Keyamo, during an interview with Channels TV’s Politics Today on Wednesday, dismissed allegations that Mr. Tinubu was indicted in the trending US case.
The spokesperson for the APC was responding to criticism from the Labour Party, LP, which had made a claim that Tinubu had been charged in a US case.
Keyamo claims that when they claimed the APC presidential candidate was under investigation, they crossed the line.
“There can not 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 account in his name that was sued so how could you indict him if there was no account?” he added.
When asked how many accounts were involved, Keyamo simply said ten accounts in three banks.
He stated further, “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.”
“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,” he said.
Vice President Kashim Shettima has arrived in Uyo, the Akwa Ibom State capital, for the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential campaign rally ahead of the 2027 general elections.
The development was disclosed on Friday by Stanley Nkwocha, Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Communications in the Office of the Vice President.
Akwa Ibom occupies a strategic position in President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda, with major federal investments expected to strengthen infrastructure and economic activities across the state.

One of the major projects is the Lagos–Calabar Coastal Highway, which has an approximately 82.8-kilometre stretch passing through Akwa Ibom.
The project, according to the statement, “promises improved connectivity, expanded trade, greater investment and new economic opportunities for communities across the region.”
Beyond infrastructure, the administration’s interventions in education, agriculture, healthcare, youth empowerment and social protection are also designed to improve livelihoods and broaden economic participation.
The Nigerian Education Loan Fund (NELFund) is among the initiatives highlighted, complementing Governor Umo Eno’s investments in roads, aviation, tourism and human capital development.
The statement noted that the Uyo rally provides “another opportunity to strengthen the APC’s growing political presence in the South-South and make the case for continuity in 2027.”
