Von Batten-Montague-York, L.C, a United States lobbying firm linked to former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, has said that President Bola Tinubu will be disgraced when he attends the United Nations General Assembly next month.

The firm also alleged that members of the Trump administration have said that a meeting sought by Tinubu with U.S. President Donald Trump will not hold.

According to the firm, the administration members stated that Trump doesn't want to meet with a heroin trafficker. The firm said this in reference to a money forfeiture made by Tinubu in the 90s after money in his bank account was linked to drugs.

The firm said, "As a result of the alleged deal he made with federal authorities during the 1990s, Nigerian President Bola Tinubu cannot be prosecuted for his alleged heroin-trafficking crimes. As President of #Nigeria, he can travel to New York to attend the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) under the access and transit protections afforded to representatives of UN member states (June 26, 1947, §§ 11–13, 61 Stat. 3416, T.I.A.S. No. 1676, 11 U.N.T.S. 11.)

"This being the case, we look forward to President #Tinubu attending the UNGA next month. Unfortunately for President Tinubu, he is going to be embarrassed at the UN. The meeting President #Tinubu has been pushing for with President @realDonaldTrump at the UNGA will not happen. Key members of the #Trump Administration have made it clear that President Trump is not going to meet privately with an alleged heroin trafficker.

"Furthermore, from reports we have seen, from South Africa to Italy, world leaders attending the UNGA will be fully aware of the heroin-trafficking allegations against President #Tinubu. If we are authorized, we will put into operation our plan to ensure every New Yorker within a six-mile radius of #UN Headquarters learns about President Tinubu’s alleged role in smuggling poison (heroin) onto American soil."
