Agroup under the auspices of the Concerned Nigerian Citizens for Justice and Sovereignty has called on foreign entities, including the Federal Bureau of Investigation, not to witch-hunt President Bola Tinubu.

The group led by Kailani Muhammad, the director-general of the Confederation of All Progressives Congress Support Groups, made the call at a news conference in Abuja on Wednesday.

“We, the Concerned Nigerian Citizens for Justice and Sovereignty, categorically reject the ongoing political harassment targeting President Bola Ahmed Tinubu under the guise of resurrected U.S. ‘probe reports’.

“The sudden rush by foreign entities, including the FBI and its partners, to release decades-old documents smirks of a politically engineered witch-hunt.

“This is not the first time President Tinubu has been the subject of such accusations, yet no court of law has found him guilty of wrongdoing,” Mr Muhammad said.

He pointed out that the timing of the “orchestrated media frenzy fuelled by politically biased actors raises serious questions about foreign interference and the weaponisation of legal institutions to interfere in Nigeria’s domestic politics.”

He added, “The 2023 presidential election was free, fair, and conclusive. Nigerians spoke through the ballot.”

Mr Muhammad said the continuous attempt to criminalise Mr Tinubu with recycled allegations from a distant past is unacceptable.

He said the continued targeting of the Nigerian president could be interpreted as an affront to the country’s democracy and the dignity of its people.

Last April, a federal judge in the United States authorised the Central Intelligence Agency to ignore requests for files on Mr Tinubu, saying there was no evidence the organisation collected any intelligence on the Nigerian leader.

Similarly, Judge Beryl Howell of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia in Washington D.C. said the FBI and Drug Enforcement Administration had already released documents in their possession but said they could look further to see if they have anything left that would be in public interest in their archives.

The decision, which should relieve the Nigerian leader, followed years of litigation for Mr Tinubu’s records by the duo, with the FBI and other U.S. agencies disclosing what they had in their possession in a series of document dumps between 2023 and 2024.

The FBI and sister agencies have already released files from their archives that showed Mr Tinubu was investigated for ties to the narcotics business in the 1990s. The probe led to Mr Tinubu’s forfeiture of $460,000 in 1993, a scandal that dominated the 2023 presidential elections in Nigeria.

When you sow thorns and expect to reap roses. 😅

The disgrace Emilokan will face eh, make I no talk

Why bother, when Tinubu has nothing to hide?
Bobo Chicago only dashed USA few dollars those days.

I can't wait for tommorow to come. These documents must trend on x. We go drag that useless cocaine sniffing monkey.

Releasing documents about the activities of a notorious narcotics trafficker, certificate forger, and power-hungry criminal engaged in state capture is not a witch hunt.

The files will not reveal anything Nigerians do not know already.

Those seeking to get dirt that would really stick on bat are looking in the wrong places...

2 things... trace the movement and the money...

Few years ago when posts of people engaging in drug trafficking make headlines, I always scoffed at them and wondered why they'd engage in such.

But now I think i understand better,
Do it but just make sure you are not caught

But I thought Tinubu people said there was nothing new in the reports, why are they now getting faceless groups to issue statements?

Tinubu’s disgrace will be televised.

A man whose entire existence is nothing short of anything but criminality is not being witch hunted.

This is not an APC support group and I’m not surprised that it’s the lying platform called People’s Gazette that is reporting this.

The same group of charlatans who are behind the FBI or whatever report are the same set of people behind this group and the media coverage when they saw that no one is interested in the FBI rubbish again, they have to resort to this nonsense to gain attention and make it look like someone is concerned or interested.

For the records, Mr. President did nothing wrong and has nothing to be afraid of. The FBI report on the investigation has been released already and there is nothing new that is not already out there. Apart from propaganda value like this false press conference from a group sponsored by the opposition, the report has no value whatsoever.

You don’t have the monopoly of political harassment and witch hunting you know!? You may think you invented it, but you’d be wrong! Now you know how it feels to be on the receiving end!

Unknown group powered by agbado propaganda machinery.

The drug*gie master may not escape justice this time around.

Which witch hunting?
Those files must be released and exposed let's all know the mystery behind the man "AMODA SANGODELE".

I can't imagine an identity & certificate thief as the president of the most populous Black nation in the world.

Infact, facts on ground suggests drug dealers have better chances of becoming president of a nation.

Well, may be. But given the limitation of records to the drug case, I won't hold my breathe and rather save my prayers for more important matters.

Instead of you to congratulate Trump when he won the election werey dey follow trump hang shoulders u think say na sleeping Joe biden

All I know is trump does not like drug dealers whether past or present. This is why he has deported many Mexican.
Why hasn't SW president visited USA since trump became president. Why France.
Chicago University graduate for heaven sake.Does sw president speak French language

This paragraph says it all about the stupidity of both article and writer.

They could look further where, are they hiding under a table or being used to hold a door open?

Just imagine the element ruling Nigeria at the moment! A fugitive filled with adulterated past.
What a shame!

Idiots in power!

I still believe if trump was on seat Tinubu 4 no smell that presidency

Even if Tinubu is indicted in the documents to be released tomorrow, Nigeria's corrupt supreme Court judges will proclaim him innocent and use technicalities to knock off the case.
