Tinubu Under Fire From Major Parties Over Alleged $9m US Lobbying Deal

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is facing criticism from several major political parties, including the ADC, PDP, NNPP, and LP, over allegations that his administration engaged in a $9 million lobbying deal in the United States.

The parties claim that the alleged transaction raises questions about transparency, accountability, and the use of public funds for foreign lobbying activities. Leaders of the opposition parties accused the presidency of prioritizing foreign interests over domestic concerns, urging the government to clarify the details of the deal.

The ADC described the alleged deal as a “serious breach of public trust, while the PDP called for an independent investigation to determine whether taxpayer money was involved. The NNPP and Labour Party echoed similar concerns, stressing the importance of accountability and warning that such allegations could damage Nigeria’s international credibility.

While the presidency has not yet issued a formal response, political analysts note that the controversy could intensify scrutiny of Tinubu’s administration and fuel debates about governance, transparency, and foreign engagements.

The story has quickly become a focal point in national discourse, with citizens and civil society organizations demanding clarity and accountability regarding the alleged $9 million US lobbying deal.
