Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has told the United States Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) that Nigerians cannot be expected to accept a blanket invocation of “danger to lives” as justification for keeping potentially disclosable records concerning President Bola Ahmed Tinubu away from public scrutiny.
In a statement issued by his Senior Special Assistant on Public Communication, Phrank Shaibu, Atiku said the irony would be laughable if the reality in Nigeria were not so tragic.
“The FBI said that disclosure could endanger lives. Which lives? Nigerians are already dying.
