  "summary": "The Deputy Spokesperson of the House of Representatives, Philip Agbese, has cautioned both US President Donald Trump and his administration against falling for politically motivated lobbying regarding historical US law enforcement records linked to President Bola Tinubu. Agbese also cautioned opposition politicians from damaging Nigeria's international image in their bid to gain political advantage ahead of the 2027 general elections. He urged Trump and his administration to scrutinize the motives and credibility of individuals and groups presenting themselves as advocates for Nigeria, stating that America and Nigeria have a relationship that should be built around security, trade, investment, development, and mutual interests, not opposition-sponsored campaigns.",
