File: Former Vice President and presidential candidate of the African Democratic Congress, Atiku Abubakar.
The presidential candidate of the African Democratic Congress in the 2027 election, Atiku Abubakar, has urged the United States Federal Bureau of Investigation to release, where legally permissible, records relating to President Bola Tinubu.
He said Nigerians have a democratic right to information about the history and character of the man seeking to retain the country’s highest elective office.
Atiku, in a statement issued on Saturday by his Senior Special Assistant on Public Communication, Phrank Shaibu, said the FBI could protect sensitive law-enforcement information without withholding records that could legitimately be disclosed in the public interest.
The former vice president was reacting to the reported position of the American law-enforcement agency that the disclosure of some records could pose a danger to lives.
