In response to a recent court ruling in the United States ordering the release of President Bola Tinubu’s drug trial report, the Nigerian Presidency has moved to dispel any public anxiety surrounding the development, insisting that the contents of the report are not new and hold no revelations capable of discrediting the president.
The reassurance came through a statement issued by the Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, who clarified that the report in question has been accessible in the public domain for over three decades.
Addressing the media inquiries following last Tuesday’s decision by a judge in Washington, D.C., which mandated the United States Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Drug Enforcement Administration to release documents related to Tinubu, Onanuga maintained that the Nigerian leader was not indicted in any of the documents.
“Journalists have sought the Presidency’s reaction to the ruling last Tuesday by a Washington DC judge ordering the US FBI and DEA to release reports connected with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
“Our response is as follows.
“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.
“The lawyers are examining the ruling,” Onanuga wrote.
