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.”
It was 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.”
