Nigeria’s ambassador-designate to Mexico, has let it be known that the United States Federal Bureau of Investigation, FIB, also has files on other 2027 Presidential Candidates including Atiku Abubakar and Peter Obi of the Africa Democratic Congress, ADC and Nigeria Democratic Congress, respectively. Once one is running for such an office, Omokri said, or even seek for a visa, the FBI has a file on you.
He said this to emphasise that the fact that the FBI has a file on President Tinubu does not mean it is a criminal in nature.
According to Omokri President Bola Tinubu’s file held by the US FBI has nothing to do with do not criminal activities.
Omokri made these claims during the City Boy Movement (CBM) media one-on-one podcast with Otega Ogra a senior special assistant to the president on digital and new media.
There is a difference between FBI criminal records and FBI records, he said. FBI records, Omokri explained, could stem from several forms of contact with American institutions and should necessarily not be seen as evidence of criminality.
Omokri disclosed that all US visa applicants have their records with the FBI, and quickly added that all the presidential candidates also have records with the FBI.
Omokri: “There is no criminal FBI record against President Bola Tinubu. There’s nothing like that.
“I’m going to say something which might probably shake the country. All of the candidates in this election have FBI records.
“A record is just a record. There’s a difference between a record and a criminal record.
“The FBI has a mandate that if anybody applied for an American visa and background checks in the US, you have FBI records.
“There is a different between FBI records and FBI criminal records.”
He, also, defended why Tinubu does not want the US agency to publish the records, and explained that the FBI’s records contain details of one, including fingerprints, blood group, and eye scans.
Omokri: “Your FBI record is not just a record of my name is Reno Omokri. Your FBI record is going to contain biometrics, meaning that your fingerprints, your eye scan.
“It’s going to contain details about your body. It’s going to contain details about your blood group. It’s going to contain details about your DNA — not in all cases. Details about your accounts and family.
“Who, here, will want that information out?”
