According to the Senior Advocate of Nigeria, everybody in the United States has the right to plead privacy, and President Tinubu would not be denied such right.

He said:

“So if the President say, sorry, I don’t want my result, my details released, the court would have to consider the implication of that on Monday viz the request by Atiku Abubakar. In other words, the private interest of the president would have to be considered with that of Atiku Abubakar.”
