Von Batten-Montague-York, a lobbying firm linked to former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, has threatened to expose allegations against President Bola Tinubu during the upcoming United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) in New York.
The US firm made the statement in a post on its verified X handle on Monday.
The firm also claimed that a proposed meeting between Tinubu and United States President Donald Trump on the sidelines of the UNGA would not take place.
According to the lobbying firm, some members of the Trump administration had allegedly made it clear that Trump would not hold a private meeting with Tinubu, whom it accused of being an alleged heroin trafficker.
The firm, however, acknowledged that Tinubu, as Nigeria’s President, could travel to New York to attend the UNGA under the access and transit protections available to representatives of United Nations member states.
“We look forward to President Tinubu attending the UNGA next month. Unfortunately for President Tinubu, he is going to be embarrassed at the UN.
“From reports we have seen, from South Africa to Italy, world leaders attending the UNGA will be fully aware of the heroin-trafficking allegations against President Tinubu.
“If we are authorised, we will put into operation our plan to ensure every New Yorker within a six-mile radius of UN Headquarters learns about President Tinubu’s alleged role in smuggling poison (heroin) onto American soil,” the firm said.
The claims by the lobbying firm are allegations and have not been established as fact.
