“There is no criminal FBI record or warrant against Tinubu. All presidential candidates have FBI records, and they’re not necessarily linked to criminality,” Omokri said.
His comments come amid renewed discussions surrounding documents and records allegedly linked to Tinubu in the United States.

Omokri argued that the existence of an FBI record should not automatically be interpreted as evidence of criminal conduct, insisting that such records can exist without being connected to criminality.
The statement has, however, triggered strong reactions online, with several Nigerians challenging his explanation and questioning why the FBI would have a record on someone without any connection to wrongdoing.
