Former Nigerian Army Chief, Lt. Gen. Tukur Buratai, has called on Nigerians to oppose external investigation into decades-old drug allegations leveled against President Bola Ahmed Tinubu. The allegations, dating back 33 years, recently resurfaced during Tinubu’s presidential campaign. Buratai argues that allowing foreign powers to scrutinize these past claims represents an infringement on Nigeria’s national sovereignty. He emphasized the importance of handling domestic matters internally, suggesting that Nigeria should resolve these issues on its own terms. The statement comes amidst ongoing debate regarding the authenticity and relevance of the allegations. Critics argue the past accusations raise legitimate questions about Tinubu’s character, while supporters claim they are politically motivated attempts to undermine his presidency. Buratai’s intervention signals a strong defense of the President and a pushback against perceived external meddling in Nigeria’s affairs.
