A United States (US)-based political advisory and lobbying firm, Von Batten-Montague-York, has said the American Government cannot afford to allow President Bola Tinubu to rig the 2027 general elections.
The firm made the declaration in a post on its verified X handle on Thursday, September 24.
The lobbying firm alleged that, regardless of political leaning, a growing consensus holds that the Nigerian government and its leader, President Bola Tinubu, represent a bastion of corruption.

According to the firm, Tinubu appointed an individual whom the US Department of Justice said had embezzled billions from Nigeria’s treasury during a previous administration to serve as Nigeria’s current minister in charge of the nation’s budget.
“The US cannot afford to allow President Tinubu to rig the upcoming Nigerian election.
“This level of lawlessness in the Nigerian government puts Nigeria on a path similar to those seen in Niger, Mali and Burkina Faso.
“Free and fair elections in Nigeria are essential to protecting US interests in Nigeria and the broader region,” the firm wrote.
