Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga has dismissed a report of a United State (U.S.) court ordering two law enforcement agencies to release information on President Bola Ahmed Tinubu during a “purported federal investigation in the 1990s.”
In a tweet on his verified X handle, Onanuga told those agitated by the directive that there would be nothing revealing in the anticipated report.
In an April 9, District Court for the District of Columbia Judge, Beryl ordered the Department of State, Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), Internal Revenue Service (IRS), Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) and the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), to release the information to Mr. Allan Greenspan.
The information being sought by Greenspan was classified as “confidential information” generated on during a “purported federal investigation in the 1990s.”
But the Judge said that protecting the information from public disclosure “is neither logical nor plausible.”
In a post on his social media pages, Onanuga wrote “Journalists have sought the Presidency’s reaction to the ruling last Tuesday by a Washington DC judge ordering the US FBI and DEA to release reports connected with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu”.
“Our response is as follows.There is nothing new to be revealed. The report by Agent Moss of the FBI and the DEA report have been in the public space for more than 30 years. The reports did not indict the Nigerian leader. The lawyers are examining the ruling”.
