Reactions have followed an online petition against Bola Tinubu, the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate, demanding for a criminal investigation into his alleged drug peddling in the United States.
According to an earlier article by Anaedoonline.ng, Ade Lani, a Nigerian, started the petition in the wee hours of Tuesday, July 19, 2022.
In a petition on change.org, Lani demanded that Tinubu’s alleged drug dealings in the US be investigated criminally. Lani argued that this would give Nigerians a better understanding of their possible president’s character and background.

He added that the assessment would enable Nigerians to choose the appropriate candidate to take the helm of the nation and lead it into the future.
This news site quickly checked the petition, and as of Wednesday, July 20, 8:20 am, it had received 8,808 signatures.
The petition was launched in response to a recent West Africa Weekly article linking the former governor of Lagos State to a Chicago narcotics operation in advance of his presidential ambitions.
However, some online users have used the microblogging service Twitter to share their opinions on the situation.
