Alleged drug-trafficking: Allow FBI records released if clean – Atiku’s aide to Tinubu.

Mr Paul Ibe, media aide to the African Democratic Congress, ADC, presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, has asked President Bola Tinubu to allow the United States Federal Bureau of Investigation, FBI, to do its job regarding his alleged drug trafficking case.

In a post on his verified X handle, Atiku’s aide said President Tinubu should not block the release of the records if he is as clean as claimed.

Tinubu had filed a challenge in a US court to prevent the Department of Justice and the FBI from releasing records linked to allegations of drug trafficking.

The President said the release of the records could infringe on his privacy.

A United States-based policy advisory and lobbying firm, Von Batten-Montague-York, alleged that Tinubu was fighting hard to keep records of his alleged drug trafficking hidden.

Reacting, the former Vice President’s media aide said, “If Tinubu does not have anything to hide, why is he blocking the release of the drug probe records like Dan Blocker? Only the guilty are afraid.”
