FBI Has No Criminal Record Against Tinubu – Reno Omokri

Nigeria’s Ambassador-designate to Mexico, Mr Reno Omokri, has said that no criminal FBI record links President Bola Tinubu to criminality. He recently reiterated his comment during the City Boy Movement Podcast, anchored by Mr O’tega Ogra, in Abuja.

Dismissing claims that FBI records relating to Tinubu established criminality, he stated that an FBI record does not automatically mean a criminal record.

Omokri added that he has incontrovertible evidence that Tinubu attended Chicago State University.

His words, “There is no criminal FBI record against President Bola Tinubu. There’s nothing like that.

A record is just that, a record; there is a difference between a record and a criminal record.

The result of the check was negative for any criminal arrest records, warrants or wanted status for Bola Tinubu.

So, there is no criminal FBI record against the President.

There is no 2026 case. What happened is that a gentleman filed a Freedom of Information Act request.

This is not a new case; it relates to a 1993 investigation.

I went to Chicago State University with a witness who is still a supporter of Atiku Abubakar.

I was given incontrovertible evidence that Tinubu attended the school.

I was able to get certified true copies of these documents, and they established beyond reasonable doubt that I was wrong.

This man was not who I thought he was.

I think that I will defend the truth, whether or not I’m an ambassador or anything.

Before the President appointed me, I was defending the truth.

If you read or listen to his speech at Chatham House, all of the things that we said we were going to do in the PDP are the things that the President is doing.

We said we were going to remove subsidies, float the naira, devolve power from the Federal Government to states and local governments, and finally give student loans.

If you bring back fuel subsidy, you are not going to be subsidising Nigeria. You’re going to be subsidising West Africa, and that will destroy our economy.

I’m not an emotional person. I’m a fact-driven person, and I believe Nigerians should also become more fact-driven.

I love this country passionately. If I die today or tomorrow, whenever I die, I want to be known as a patriot.

The President is going to win the next election, and after that, we must all come back and reconcile.

Nigeria must continue making progress.”
