Lobbyist Hired by Atiku Faces Backlash Over Tinubu Allegations Dr. Karl Von Batten of Von Batten-Montague-York, L.C., signed a $1.2 million contract with Atiku in March 2026 to boost his reputation and arrange U.S. meetings while countering Nigerian government narratives. The firm shared 1993 DOJ documents alleging Tinubu's links to heroin proceeds, warning of risks to U.S.-Nigeria ties ahead of a possible UN meeting. Social media users spotlighted Von Batten's original Nigerian name, Karl-Marx Edward Ikemefuna William George Okeke-Von Batten, and mocked him for adopting his American wife's surname, while critics questioned his past lobbying record. Tinubu's team dismissed the claims as unproven political attacks from the 1980s and 1990s, with no charges or convictions against him.
