Atiku’s Aide Alleges Plot by Tinubu’s Govt To Gag Media Ahead of Release of FBI Files

• The ongoing certificate controversy surrounding President Bola Tinubu is getting messier, like a rocky cliff
• Another allegation has been issued by the camp of Atiku Abubakar that President Tinubu's administration is plotting to gag the media
• This is on the heels of the threats issued by the Broadcasting Commission (NBC) to sanction a popular TV station

FCT, Abuja - President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration has been accused of plotting to gag the media before releasing the records containing his criminal investigations by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI).

Phrank Shaibu, a media aide to former Vice President Atiku, alleged this in a statement issued on Sunday, October 8.

According to the statement made available to Legit.ng, Shaibu alleged that Tinubu’s camp had become frustrated with the Chicago State University scandal and was planning a massive offensive in the coming days.

Atiku's aide slams NBC

The pragmatic Shaibu challenged NBC for being biased and choosing to look away from stations like TVC, who have constantly used their platforms to attack Atiku.

He said:

“Since Tinubu became president on May 29, the NBC has become more partisan than ever. The NBC boss, Balarabe Ilelah, is obviously seeking to retain his appointment and is now dancing to the tune of the APC and their master at the Presidential Villa.

“The NBC has now been co-opted into a grand plot to gag the media over Tinubu’s certificate scandal. Having lost the battle in the court of public opinion, they are now trying to use the powers of the state to browbeat the media into silence. This is indeed shameful for a man who claimed to be a hero of the June 12 struggle.”
