Wednesday, September 23, 2026 - A US firm working for former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar, has said it will engage the US President, Donald Trump next week over the government of President Bola Tinubu.
The firm, Von Batten Montague York-LC, said this in a post
on X on Tuesday, following Trump’s address at the United Nations General
Assembly.
The firm said Trump, during his speech, expressed concern
over foreign governments that the United States had identified as persecuting
Christians, alleging that Nigeria under Tinubu was among those countries.
It alleged that the Tinubu administration was complicit in
the killing of Christians across Nigeria and accused the government of also
targeting Muslims, including children involved in mining activities to support
their families.
“We will engage with the Trump Administration next week to
emphasise that President Tinubu’s government is not only complicit in the
killing of Christians across Nigeria but is also directly targeting innocent
Muslims, including impoverished Muslim children who were mining simply to help
feed their families,” the firm said.
It added that it would engage the Trump administration to
urge the United States to support free and fair elections in Nigeria.
