The United States lobbying firm Von Batten Montague York-LC has claimed that the proposed meeting between Nigerian President Bola Tinubu and US President Donald Trump during the United Nations General Assembly has been cancelled. This announcement follows the Presidency's confirmation that Tinubu would not be physically present at the 81st Session of the UNGA in New York, United States.
The firm, through a post on X, also stated that Tinubu's planned attendance and any potential endorsement of his 2027 presidential bid by Trump were no longer certain. The Atiku Abubakar-linked US firm alleged that the meeting's objective was to secure Trump's endorsement for Tinubu's upcoming Nigerian presidential election. They asserted that this goal was achieved and now the meeting is "dead".
The firm further claimed that approximately $9 million in Nigerian taxpayers' money had been spent to facilitate the meeting.
