The American lobbyist hired by presidential candidate of the African Democratic Congress, ADC, to launder his image, Dr. Karl Von Batten has mocked President Bola Tinubu as Nigeria is missing in the agenda for President Donald Trump’s engagement on Tuesday at the 81st UNGA.
Von Batten said in a post on X that after spending spending $9 million on lobby, Nigeria failed to get the attention of the White House.
“President @realDonaldTrump’s agenda for tomorrow was just announced. It is a shame that, after spending $9 million, Nigerian President Bola Tinubu (@OfficialABAT) and the Nigerian Presidency got their asses kicked by Dr. Von Batten.
“We recommend that the Nigerian Vice President (@officialSKSM) pay an extra $9 million and try to sneak in for a selfie.
“Nigerian President Bola #Tinubu, the man who is alleged to have been instrumental in smuggling heroin (poison) into our country, has no right to be in the same room or city as the President of the United States,” Von Batten said.
He posted a programme, showing that the Nigerian delegation is not included in Trump’s engagements for Tuesday.
