Tinubu’s aide dismisses claim of ‘CIA Asset’ allegation

Date:

Dada Olusegun, Special Assistant to the President on Social Media, has dismissed allegations that President Bola Tinubu is an asset of the United States Central Intelligence Agency (CIA).

The claim was made by journalist David Hundeyin, who suggested that this information emerged after the CIA, alongside the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), opposed a motion in a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) case. The motion seeks access to records concerning Tinubu’s alleged involvement in drug trafficking.

Hundeyin stated that the CIA’s response indirectly confirmed that Nigeria’s president is an active CIA asset.

According to the alleged CIA filing, disclosing any confirmation of such a relationship could compromise the safety of individuals associated with that person and could harm U.S. national security.

“As such, confirming or denying the existence of records on a particular foreign national, like Tinubu, reasonably could be expected to cause damage to U.S. national security by indicating whether or not the CIA maintained any human intelligence sources related to Tinubu, and identifying any access or lack of access any such sources had to intelligence concerning him,” the document said.

In response, Olusegun compared the CIA asset claim to a series of past allegations against Tinubu.

In a post on X, he wrote: “They told you he was a lady, you believed. They told you Yorubas don’t bear Tinubu, you believed. They told you he can’t be allowed into the US, you believed. They told you his name is not his name, you believed. Now they brought another one. Here you are as usual. Tragic.”
