EXCLUSIVE: Buhari administration hires American lobbying firm one month after Atiku’s engagement

The administration of President Muhammadu Buhari has acquired the services of an image-laundering and lobbying firm with offices in the United Kingdom and the United States to undertake ‘outreach and relationship building with various stakeholders’ PREMIUM TIMES can exclusively report.

“Meet and consult with members of Congress and staff in an effort to pass House and Senate resolution to forebear from a final declaration and recognition of a winner of the 2019 Federal Republic of Nigeria presidential election pending legal challenges to the initial assertion that incumbent President Buhari was the victor are impartially and independently resolved by the Nigerian judiciary in accordance with the rule of law and due process, free from military or political influence.

Documents obtained by PREMIUM TIMES from the FARA website show that Pagefield Global was hired on May 2 to give “public affairs and public relations advice and monitoring, undertaking outreach and relationship building with various stakeholders and the media in connection with legal disputes that the Solicitor General is conducting on behalf of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.”

“There is no written contract between the parties. Our understanding is that we will be paid £21,600 per month by the Federal Republic of Nigeria, on a one month notice period,” Pagefield wrote in its registration statement submitted to the Department of Justice.“Please disregard that. It couldn’t be from the Ministry of Justice,” he said.

Very embarrassing news. Can't you present your work professionally

Lobbying = Bribery. It is only legit in USA and illegal in Nigeria

oluwaloninyo This Buhari is just a waste to leadership. So much plundering of our collective patrimony here and there. Junketing and wastages is all he knows best. Fuck!

Even if atiku procured the service, he did it as a private citizen. MBuhari using tax payers money for this rubbish is not only legal but impeachable

With my tax right.. Welldone.

The biggest hypocrisy in the world is Buhari and APC administration evil

This was the same administration that was screaming blue mother because atiku hired same lobbyist before 2019 elections.a party made of incompetent hypocrites can never move our nation forward.same way they are screaming corruption we would soon find out dat they R more corrupt.

They are fasting and praying now. I don't know if their own 'god' condone EVIL. Adura a gba oooo. APC. MA SELEYA last last ni .

With this rate of throwing money away, little wonder why Nigeria is increasingly looking irredeemable

Mr integrity.

See the way they’re spending taxpayers money . N10m monthly to a foreign firm so that you will not leave office.

NkemdiMary I will tear nigeria into pecies(nnamdi kana).....,,,....we are watching from far distance!!!!!

toluogunlesi Please tell us this is propaganda. BashirAhmaad any comments?

I despise everything about this Buhari and his government. Zero human feeling.

Anyone know anybody that takes lobbying lessons. That career path is wealth

What's most interesting is what the govt is paying for compared to what Atiku is requesting. Nawa.

These guys just spend tax payers' money as if it's theirs. This is wrong.

Everyone hires American lobbyists. Lobbying must be a booming industry in the US.
