Karl Von Batten: Atiku battling Tinubu locally, internationally – Aide on lobbyist’s appointment
The Senior Political Assistant to the African Democratic Congress, ADC, presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, Demola Olarewaju, on Thursday said the former vice president is battling President Bola Tinubu both domestically and internationally.
Olarewaju said the battle will end with Atiku defeating Tinubu in 2027.
He was reacting to a report that the United States, US, President, Donald Trump appointed Atiku’s American lobbyist, Karl Von Batten, to serve as a White House presidential commissioner.
Batten’s appointment was announced by his firm, Von Batten-Montague-York L.C in a post via X.
Atiku had hired Batten’s Washington-based lobbying firm in March 2026 for a 12-month retainer valued at $1.2 million.
However, Olarewaju posted on X: “Not an enjoyable news for the desperate APC presidential horde who spent $9m to lobby the US into endorsing Tinubu for another failed tenure only to meet Atiku in front.
“Domestically and internationally, Atiku is battling Tinubu and will defeat him in 2027. #VoteWiselyForAA27.”
