A United States-based political advisory and lobbying firm, Von Batten-Montague-York, has called on the international community not to be distracted by what it described as a smear campaign involving a drug trafficking allegation linked to Nigerian President Bola Tinubu. According to the Daily Post, the firm made the appeal in a statement posted on its verified X handle on Tuesday, urging the world not to fall for the alleged distraction surrounding the claims against the Nigerian leader.

Atiku Abubakar, the Presidential Candidate of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), criticized President Bola Tinubu's government for comments that he believes minimize the hardships faced by many Nigerians. He argued that suggesting the suffering is exaggerated is disrespectful to millions of citizens experiencing difficulties, according to Naija News.

The late Chief Joseph Folahan Odunjo's allegory is said to reflect the current national scandal involving Femi Gbajabiamila, Chief of Staff to President Bola Tinubu, and Adeniyi Adeyemi, who is reportedly self-appointed as the Director General of the Presidential Foreign Intervention Promotion Council and the Presidential Economic Advisory Council. The situation highlights the controversy surrounding these figures in Nigerian politics.

Former vice president Atiku Abubakar has criticized President Bola Tinubu, stating that his government has become synonymous with scandal. This remark was made in the context of ongoing political discourse in Nigeria, highlighting tensions between the two leaders.

The Senior Special Assistant to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, Temitope Ajayi, has accused Prince Adeniyi Adeyemi Matthew of trying to use public discontent over corruption in Nigeria to evade criminal responsibility. Ajayi claims Adeyemi is involving the Chief of Staff to the President, Femi Gbajabiamila, in his situation to deflect attention from his actions, according to the Presidency's response.

Human rights lawyer Inibehe Effiong has questioned the legitimacy of a so-called 'ghost agency' linked to Femi Gbajabiamila, the Chief of Staff to the president, which allegedly operated an account with the Central Bank of Nigeria and secured office space at the Federal Secretariat. Effiong expressed his concerns during a guest appearance on Saturday, labeling the situation as 'ridiculous' and 'preposterous'.
