Presidency downplays Tinubu FBI files as “Old Story”

From Juliana Taiwo-Obalonye, Abuja

 

The Presidency has responded to a U.S. court ruling directing the FBI and DEA to release documents related to President Bola Tinubu’s past investigations. 

In a statement posted on X on his verified handle @aonanuga1956, the Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, emphasised that the reports are decades old and contain no new revelations, having been publicly available for over 30 years.

He maintains that the documents do not implicate President Tinubu in any wrongdoing and are merely a rehashing of old news and contain no new revelations.

“There is nothing new to be revealed. The report by Agent Moss of the FBI and the DEA report have been in the public space for more than 30 years. The reports did not indict the Nigerian leader,” Onanuga stated.

He further noted that lawyers are currently reviewing the U.S. court ruling.

The release of the FBI and DEA documents is expected in the coming weeks, following the court’s directive.
