A United States-based policy advisory and lobbying firm, Von Batten-Montague-York has alleged a plot to assassinate Atiku Abubakar, the presidential candidate of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) for the upcoming 2027 elections.

In a post shared via the it's official X handle @batten_von, the Washington DC-based firm accused President Bola Ahmed Tinubu's administration as the mastermind behind the plot to kill Atiku.

Citing the multiple assassination attempts against President Donald Trump, the firm emphasized the length evil people can go to prevent change.

The firm added that it intends to bring the assassination attempt to the attention of President Trump and the United States Congress.

"We find the reports that the Nigerian Presidency and its agents are allegedly plotting to assassinate former Nigerian Vice President Atiku Abubakar very troubling. Atiku’s life is in danger.

"Dr Von Batten fully intends to bring these latest allegations against Nigerian President Bola Tinubu to the attention of the Trump Administration and Congress.

"The United States has given President Bola Tinubu enough rope. A word of advice to President Tinubu and company; it will not end well for you," the lobby firm tweeted.

We find the reports that the Nigerian Presidency (@officialABAT) and its agents are allegedly plotting to assassinate former Nigerian Vice President @atiku Abubakar very troubling. Despite a reported $9 million D.C. engagement and $700 billion in mines, they can't beat him in D.C., they can't beat him in Nigeria, so their only option is to kill him.

President @realDonaldTrump has survived multiple assassination attempts, so we know the lengths evil people will go to to stop change. Dr. Von Batten fully intends to bring these latest allegations against Nigerian President Bola Tinubu to the attention of the Trump Administration and Congress.

The United States has given President #Tinubu enough rope. A word of advice to President Tinubu and company: Do not test the United States and President Trump with a political assassination that will cause geopolitical shockwaves and force the United States to act. It will not end well for you.
