  "summary": "The Deputy Spokesperson of the House of Representatives, Philip Agbese, has cautioned both US President Donald Trump and his administration against being swayed by politically motivated lobbying over historical US law enforcement records relating to President Bola Tinubu. Agbese, speaking in Abuja, warned opposition politicians against damaging Nigeria's international image as they seek political advantage ahead of the 2027 general elections. He urged Trump and his administration to scrutinize the motives and credibility of those presenting themselves as advocates for Nigeria, emphasizing that Nigeria's relationship with America should be built around security, trade, investment, development, and mutual interests, rather than opposition-sponsored campaigns designed to influence Washington against Nigeria.",
