Atiku Urges FBI To Release Tinubu’s Records Ahead Of 2027 Election

The 2027 presidential candidate of the African Democratic Congress, Atiku Abubakar has urged the United States Federal Bureau of Investigation to release records relating to President Bola Tinubu where legally permissible.

Atiku made the call in a statement issued on Saturday by his Senior Special Assistant on Public Communication, Phrank Shaibu, saying Nigerians have a democratic right to know the history and character of the man seeking to retain the presidency.

He was reacting to the reported position of the FBI that releasing some records could endanger lives. Atiku argued that the agency can protect sensitive law-enforcement information while releasing records that can legally be disclosed in the public interest.

 The former vice president also accused the Tinubu administration of worsening economic hardship through policies he said have increased the cost of food, transportation, healthcare and other basic necessities.

He said terrorism, banditry, hunger and rising household expenses are putting Nigerians under severe pressure and urged the FBI to release all relevant records it can legally disclose.
