The Presidency has clarified that the ongoing Freedom of Information Act case involving President Bola Tinubu before the United States District Court for the District of Columbia is a civil records-disclosure dispute and not a criminal case.

Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, said that the case did not amount to a criminal charge, trial, or judicial finding against Tinubu

Onanuga said that the matter dated back to 2022 when Aaron Greenspan submitted FOIA requests to several US government agencies seeking records relating to Tinubu.

He urged the media and the public to distinguish between verified court proceedings and partisan speculation.
