Alhaji Atiku Abubakar

Von Batten-Montague-York, L.C., in a statement posted on its X account on Wednesday, alleged that its founder, Dr Karl Von Batten, received an unsolicited offer of $3 million “a few days ago”, alongside an invitation to a confidential meeting in London.

President Bola Tinubu devoted a substantial part of his latest statement, released on X, attacking the economic position of His Excellency, Atiku Abubakar, yet declined, rather theatrically, to mention him by name, claiming that he would not “dignify” opposition leaders.

The Special Adviser to the President on Media and Public Communications, Sunday Dare, made the allegations in a statement in which he described recent reports attributed to a Washington-based consultant as politically motivated claims being packaged as sensitive United States intelligence.

Major political parties and their leaders, on whom rests the success of the much -anticipated G100 conference on the coalition of opposition political parties against President Bola Tinubu in the 2027 general poll, are singing discordant tunes, few hours before the gathering at the Yar’Adua Civic Centre in Abuja on Monday, August 31, 2026.

Atiku made the allegation in an interview with the BBC while defending his decision to seek the presidency in the 2027 general election and responding to questions surrounding his age and fitness for public office.

The latest criticism followed a series of apparently conflicting explanations from Atiku and members of his political camp on whether a government led by him would restore petrol subsidy and, if so, under what conditions.

The disagreement erupted after Paul Ibe, one of Atiku’s media aides, said the former Vice President would temporarily restore petrol subsidy if elected, and subsequently phase it out after giving the economy time to recover. However, another aide, Phrank Shaibu, swiftly rejected that interpretation, describing it as “an unauthorised, imprecise and materially misleading characterisation” of Atiku’s position.
