Media aide to Atiku Abubakar, Mr Paul Ibe, has urged President Bola Tinubu to permit the United States Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) to access and release records pertaining to his alleged involvement in drug trafficking. In a recent post on his verified X account, Ibe questioned Tinubu's decision to block the release of these records if he is as innocent as claimed.
Notably, Tinubu had previously filed a legal challenge in a US court to prevent the Department of Justice and FBI from releasing the records linked to the allegations of drug trafficking. The President argued that the release of the records could violate his right to privacy. According to Von Batten-Montague-York, a US-based policy advisory and lobbying firm, they allege that Tinubu is actively seeking to keep the records of his alleged drug trafficking activities concealed.
The media aide to Atiku responded, "If Tinubu has nothing to hide, why is he obstructing the release of the drug probe records like Dan Blocker? Only the guilty are afraid."
