  "summary": "Akin Malaolu, a Yoruba leader, has expressed concern over the silence of former Nigerian leaders, including Olusegun Obasanjo, Goodluck Jonathan, and Abdulsalami Abubakar, regarding allegations about President Bola Tinubu's alleged drug links in the United States. Malaolu stated this in a statement on Sunday, calling for transparency and integrity from those who have traditionally presented themselves as the conscience of the nation. The controversy has led to calls for the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) to release records related to Tinubu, with Washington-based lobbyist Karl Von Batten at the forefront of these demands.",
