A senior aide to President Bola Tinubu, Frederick Nwabufo, criticises Peter Obi for remarks about an ongoing legal case in a US court involving Tinubu. The dispute centers on a request to release records related to investigations tied to Tinubu’s past. Tinubu is described as participating as an intervenor in the matter, and the court proceedings remain active.
According to the reports, Nwabufo argues that claims raised through the US case have already been investigated and found false, describing Obi’s comments as “ludicrous.” Obi, in a statement titled “A President and the Endless Question of His Past,” says Tinubu should engage with questions about his history rather than oppose the release of documents. Nwabufo also rejects the narrative of a lingering “imperfect past,” while adding broader criticisms of Obi’s governance record in Anambra State.
Across outlets, the accounts align on the main exchange: Obi comments on the US records request and Nwabufo responds on social media, urging a shift to domestic issues ahead of the 2027 elections. Differences are mainly in the emphasis placed on court details versus political and governance criticism.
