The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, former presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar on Sunday said Nigeria does not deserve a leader like President Bola Tinubu.
Speaking through his Media Aide, Paul Ibe, the former Vice
President said the world needs to know the president’s records, insisting that
Nigeria does not deserve a leader with a tainted past like Tinubu.
Posting on X: Ibe wrote: “Just about time, the records of
Tinubu, including his forfeiture of funds for alleged drugs trafficking and
certificate at Chicago State University @ChicagoState, are made public.
“The Black nation’s most populous country does not deserve a
leader with a tainted past.
“Whatever is being hidden inside must be unveiled. Nigerians
and the rest of the world deserve to know. There must be full disclosure.”
DAILY POST reported that the United States, US, District
Court for the District of Columbia ordered the Federal Bureau of Intelligence,
FBI, to reveal Tinubu’s information.
Judge Beryl Howell gave the order on Tuesday.
The development followed a motion by Aaron Greenspan, an
American who is seeking a reconsideration of an earlier ruling. Howell said
protecting the information from public disclosure is “neither logical nor
plausible.”
Greenspan had accused the FBI of violating the Freedom of
Information Act (FOIA) by failing to release within the statutory time
“documents relating to purported federal investigations into” Tinubu and one
Abiodun Agbele.
Tinubu was claimed to have forfeited $460,000 to the
American government in 1993 after authorities linked the funds to proceeds of
narcotics trafficking.
But, the judge ruled in favour of Greenspan.
Responding, Tinubu’s media aide, Bayo Onanuga said there is
nothing new to reveal because the report by Agent Moss of the FBI and the DEA
report have been in the public space for more than 30 years.
Onanuga said the reports did not indict the Nigerian leader.
Posting on X, Onanuga wrote: “Journalists have sought the
Presidency’s reaction to the ruling last Tuesday by a Washington DC judge
ordering the US FBI and DEA to release reports connected with President Bola
Ahmed Tinubu.
“Our response is as follows.
“There is nothing new to be revealed. The report by Agent
Moss of the FBI and the DEA report have been in the public space for more than
30 years.
“The reports did not indict the Nigerian leader. The lawyers
are examining the ruling.”
