All Progressives Congress chieftain Bashir Ahmad has condemned a US lobbying firm for asserting that President Tinubu will not be allowed to meet with US President Donald Trump at the United Nations General Assembly. The firm, Von Batten-Montague-York, revealed in a statement on Monday that key members of the Trump Administration have made it clear Trump will not meet privately with Tinubu, who is accused of being a heroin trafficker.
Bashir labeled the claim a "political attack" in disguise, stating that Tinubu is the democratically elected President of Nigeria and that such allegations should be tested against credible evidence and due process. He emphasized that declaring in advance that Trump will refuse to meet with Tinubu or that Tinubu will be embarrassed at the UN is irresponsible, as unless the White House or diplomatic authorities make such a position official, these claims remain mere speculation dressed up as fact.
