The Presidency has downplayed a U.S. court order mandating the FBI and DEA to release records on President Bola Tinubu’s past drug-related investigation, calling the documents old and already public.
Presidential aides insist the ruling, stemming from a Freedom of Information Act request, offers no new revelations and poses no threat to Tinubu.
However, former Vice President Atiku Abubakar welcomed the decision, arguing that any findings proving Tinubu ineligible should compel him to resign for the sake of Nigeria’s image.
Atiku, supported by the PDP, stressed the importance of transparency in leadership, urging full disclosure on Tinubu’s background, forfeitures, and academic records.
The U.S. court ruled that public interest outweighs privacy concerns and ordered non-exempt files be processed by May 2.
