Nigerian-born writer and investigative journalist David Hundeyin and former Aviation Minister and member of the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential campaign council, Femi Fani-Kayode (FFK) have been engaging in a word fight over Bola Tinubu‘s alleged white heroin drug dealing business.
The drama started when Hundeyin fired at the former minister via Twitter on Saturday night, saying unapologetically that they are not mates.
Recall that Hundeyin in a recent interview with Arise TV, described the APC flag-bearer as a “drug lord” aspiring to rule Nigeria.

He further stated that the former governor of Lagos had forfeited up to $460,000 to the United States authorities in plea bargaining, following his alleged involvement in drug trafficking.
However, Fani-Kayode, in his latest publication, disclosed that “The $460,000 was seized only as a consequence of the IRS” asserting that he (Tinubu) had not paid tax on his numerous American investments.
Tinubu chose not to challenge or dispute that claim and assertion by the IRS even though he was perfectly within his rights to do so and hence he willingly forfeited that money.
“The seizure of the USD 460,000 had NOTHING [sic] to do with drugs or links to drug trafficking. Rather it had EVERYTHING to do with tax and it was the IRS that claimed it.
“The FBI investigated Tinubu for links to drugs and laundering drug money and they found NOTHING.
“He came out clean. Most of the money they originally seized was returned. The money that was not returned had NOTHING to do with drugs.
“Tinubu is a clean, wholesome, hard-working and innocent man and those making these allegations are simply trying to derail his presidential ambition.
“They are also filled with hate and they resent his great successes in life.”
The APC chieftain maintained that Hundeyin knew the truth, which was why he ‘dodged’ a question he was asked during an interview earlier.
The former Minister quoted popular news anchor and TV host Rufai Oseni, to have, during an interview, asked Hundeyin to confirm a US report about Tinubu that was said on Channels TV earlier by FFK.
The question, according to Fani-Kayode, read: “On Channels Television last night Femi Fani-Kayode said $1 million USD was returned to Bola Tinubu by the U.S. authorities after the investigation was completed and only $460,000 USD was seized due to tax that was not paid on his investments. Is this true?”
Reacting, Hundeyin took to Twitter on Saturday night and said: “I will not respond to the rantings of a 62-year-old fckboy who has more out-of-wedlock children than he has snse.
“Instead of settling his multiple school fee bills by writing sponsored articles personally attacking someone half his age, advise him to buy some c*ndoms instead.
“And for the record, my father, who was referenced was a 100% self-made man, the same as I am. If you are 62, and your biggest accomplishment in life is that your daddy was ‘Fani Power’ and he sent you to Eton, kindly shut up when I’m talking.
“I am not your mate.”
Tinubu has been in the news lately following his questionable character that some social commentators consider as “unpresidential” and “unacceptable”.
