British MP George Galloway Accuses Tinubu of Drug Dealing, Questions Leadership credibility.
In a startling revelation, George Galloway, a former member of the British Parliament known for his candid statements, has raised serious allegations against President Bola Tinubu of Nigeria. Galloway asserted that Tinubu lacks the moral standing to criticize the ongoing coup in the Republic of Niger, as he recently learned that Tinubu was involved with mafia and drug dealers in Chicago.
Speaking on his podcast, “Mother of All Talk Shows” (MOATS), Galloway expressed astonishment at the discovery and commented, “I had no idea that this man was a bagman for the mafia and the drug dealers in Chicago, Illinois, which doesn’t seem like a great qualification for the leader of Nigeria.” These revelations, according to Galloway, cast a shadow over Tinubu’s ability to lead a country.

Galloway highlighted that Tinubu’s alleged involvement with criminal elements contradicts his position to criticize the Niger junta for its coup. The former British MP noted that Tinubu is currently dealing with allegations of electoral corruption related to his own election and that the opposition has contested his victory, raising doubts about his democratic credentials.
Galloway’s criticisms come as President Tinubu continues to contest allegations of electoral manipulation, with the case still pending before the presidential elections petitions tribunal. He questioned the moral basis of Tinubu’s condemnation of the Niger junta, considering the cloud of allegations surrounding his own electoral victory.

The former British MP also pointed out that the transparency of Nigeria’s presidential poll had been criticized by organizations such as Chatham House and foreign observers like the European Union.
In response to the ongoing coup in Niger, the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS), chaired by Tinubu, activated military troops to standby for the purpose of restoring constitutional order. This move came after West African leaders gave the military junta a one-week ultimatum to relinquish power or face possible military intervention.
As Galloway’s allegations raise questions about Tinubu’s leadership qualifications and moral standing, the Nigerian political landscape remains charged with controversies and challenges. The claims made by the former British MP add a new layer of complexity to the ongoing political discourse in the country.
