2027: Allow Nigerians to see your FBI records, Atiku dares Tinubu

Former Vice President and presidential candidate Atiku Abubakar has challenged President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to allow Nigerians access to FBI records allegedly related to him. Atiku made this demand in a statement released by his media team. This comes after former lawmaker Ehiozuwa Agbonayinma issued an ultimatum to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to investigate Atiku for alleged financial crimes.

Atiku dismissed the old allegations against him as "the convulsions of political opponents." He argued that Tinubu's failure to address the hardships faced by Nigerians, such as high food prices and electricity shortages, has led his administration to seek controversy involving Atiku. Atiku believes that the renewed focus on these old allegations is a sign of desperation and weakness rather than strength.

He accused the government of using outdated files to find an "escape route" from criticism over the nation's economic challenges.
