Alleged drug trafficking: Tinubu trying so hard to keep record hidden – US firm

A United States-based policy advisory and lobbying firm has alleged that Nigeria’s President Bola Tinubu is actively attempting to conceal records related to his alleged involvement in drug trafficking. In a recent post on its verified X account, the firm expressed concern over Tinubu's efforts to prevent the Department of Justice, FBI, and Drug Enforcement Administration from releasing the records in question.

According to the firm, Tinubu made a plea to the court, asserting his right to privacy and arguing that the records were being sought for political influence in a foreign nation, potentially threatening his chances in the upcoming 2027 Nigerian presidential election. The firm firmly emphasized that even the public's interest in Tinubu's background and suitability for office does not grant them a right under the Freedom of Information Act to access these withheld law-enforcement records.

They concluded their statement by addressing Nigerian citizens, stating, "Nigerians, this is your President."
