Alleged Drug Records: Presidency’s bid to block FBI report heightens suspicion of guilt — APM

The Allied Peoples Movement (APM) has called on U.S. authorities to release findings from an FBI report alleging drug-trafficking ties to Nigerian President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, arguing that attempts to withhold the report increase suspicions of guilt and undermine transparency. The APM claims that while certain parts of the report may need to remain confidential for legal reasons, non-sensitive information should be made public to protect Nigeria’s security and democratic integrity. They reference a 1993 U.S. court judgment where $460,000 was forfeited from Tinubu’s assets related to drug transactions, suggesting this could affect his eligibility for re-election under Nigeria’s constitution. The APM emphasizes the importance of transparency ahead of the 2027 presidential election, urging voters to consider candidates with clean records.
