US Firm Warns Tinubu Over 2027 Poll

A United States-based political advisory and lobbying firm, Von Batten-Montague-York, has said the US will not allow President Bola Tinubu to rig Nigeria’s 2027 general election.

The firm made the statement in a post on its verified X handle on Thursday. It said a free and fair election in Nigeria is important to the interests of the United States and the wider region.

The firm also accused the Nigerian government and President Tinubu of corruption. It further alleged that Tinubu appointed a person who, according to the US Department of Justice, had embezzled billions of naira from Nigeria’s treasury during a previous administration.

It also warned that what it described as lawlessness in Nigeria could put the country on a path similar to Niger, Mali and Burkina Faso. However, the statements were made by the US-based firm and do not represent an official statement from the US government.

The claims come as political activities continue to build up ahead of Nigeria’s 2027 general election.
