Buratai Urges Nigerians to Reject Foreign Scrutiny of Tinubu’s Old Allegations

Former Chief of Army Staff, Lt. Gen. Tukur Buratai (retd.), has urged Nigerians not to allow foreign interests to shape debates over long-standing allegations involving President Bola Tinubu. Buratai said the issues have been in the public domain for decades and should not be used to weaken Nigeria’s democracy or sovereignty. He argued that the country’s courts, constitution and electoral process are the proper channels for addressing concerns about public office holders. He noted that Tinubu has faced elections and legal challenges throughout his political career. Supporters say past court decisions have addressed questions about his eligibility, while critics insist that public accountability concerns should still be examined. The remarks add to political debate ahead of the 2027 general election, as discussions continue over Tinubu’s record and the role of foreign scrutiny in Nigeria’s politics.
