No criminal FBI record against Tinubu – Reno Omokri

Reno Omokri, Nigeria's Ambassador-designate to Mexico, asserts there is no criminal FBI record linking President Bola Tinubu to criminal activity. During a podcast appearance, Omokri explained that an FBI record check requested by Nigerian authorities yielded negative results regarding any criminal arrests, warrants, or wanted status for Tinubu. He clarified that the records being discussed publicly by an opposition candidate stem from a 1993 investigation, not a new case. Omokri emphasized that his stance is based on verified evidence, including documents related to Tinubu's civil forfeiture case, which led him to revise his earlier perceptions. He also noted that Tinubu's economic policies align with proposals he previously supported while collaborating with former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar.
