A US lobbying firm with ties to former Vice President Atiku Abubakar claims it was offered a $3 million bribe to halt its campaign focused on allegations against President Bola Tinubu. The firm’s founder, Dr. Karl Von Batten, reportedly received the offer and an invitation to a confidential meeting in London. The purpose of both was to persuade him to discontinue the firm’s efforts regarding the Tinubu allegations. Details of the allegations were not specified in the report. The firm has not disclosed whether it intends to cooperate with any investigation into the alleged bribery attempt. This development introduces a new layer of complexity to the ongoing political landscape in Nigeria. The story originated from Vanguard News.
